Built By a Cartoon: How Japan Made a Soccer Nation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do you build a footballer? Today we start with the wildest answer of all... a cartoon. We break down how Captain Tsubasa helped turn baseball-obsessed Japan into a World Cup machine, why over 90 million people grew up on it, and the global stars who say it made them pick soccer.
Then we go straight to the World Cup. Curaçao, the smallest nation in tournament history, walked out against Germany and scored... and that 1-1 moment meant more than the final 7-1. We get into their fairytale (25 of 26 players born in the Netherlands), the emotional story of their 78-year-old coach, Diego Luna's brutal snub, Cucurella's shock move to Real Madrid, and Barça taking Florentino to court.
One recording, a full World Cup briefing. Join the newsletter and be part of the show at thefootball.show.
