Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hey, I'm John Green, author of The Faultner Stars, and
now I guess the co host of The Away End,
a brand new world soccer podcast with my friend of
thirty three years, Daniel Larcone him.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hey man, I'm Danielle Alerconne, a writer and journalist, and
John and I have known each other since we were kids.
My first World Cup was Mexico eighty six.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
I was nine years old.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
I watched every game, and I fell in love. Every
four years since when a new edition of the world's
most popular sporting event begins, I'm nine years old all
over again.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
For US soccer football.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's a game that we've loved together since Daniel was
the star of our high school soccer team and I
was the ultra the only hardcore fan of that team.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
The only part of that sentence is true, and it's
the part about John being the fan. He carried us
that season, and we've both been in love with the
game basically all of our lives.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
And here we are starting a podcast. What's it about, John, It's.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
About world football, and it's there to get us ready
for the twenty twenty six World Cup, where we will again,
as Daniel likes to say, be the same age that
we were during our first World Cup in nineteen eighty six.
I love this game. I love its history, it's hope,
it's heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
So on the Away End, our brand new podcast will
be talking about the games, the teams, the players, and
all things that make this sporting event iconic and special
and something that we measure time by. And together we'll
find out why of all the unimportant things, football soccer
is the most important.
