World Corrupt Episode 6: A Dystopian World Cup

Where this was said

USA vs. England Preview and Closing

At 1:08:06 · chapter starts 1:06:20

The episode closes on something lighter: Tommy describes the simple pleasure of watching the US team play well at a pub in Santa Monica, going nuts with strangers over Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah's goal — and Roger delivers a touching aside about Tim Weah's father, George Weah, the greatest African footballer of his era, now President of Liberia, who never played in a World Cup but tweeted 'proud papa' last night with a photo of his son in a US jersey. Roger, accent notwithstanding, makes his allegiances crystal clear: he is '100% behind this United States team.' The USA vs. England match on Friday looms, and Roger closes with his one inviolable life rule — if Piers Morgan is on one side of any argument, always choose the other — a perfectly absurd and pitch-perfect note on which to end an episode about moral courage in the face of institutional corruption.
