22 Goals

The Ringer

There’s nothing quite like a soccer goal. As the 22nd Men's World Cup approaches in November 2022, this podcast takes a look back at the history of the World Cup, through the lens of 22 of the most iconic goals ever scored in the greatest sporting event on earth. Listen along as The Ringer’s Brian Phillips leads you on a breathless tour of nearly a century of World Cup history—from triumphs to tragedies, and everything in between.   This is not a soccer podcast, it’s a history book on a rocket ship to the moon. (OK, fine, it is technically also a soccer podcast.) 22 Goals is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.

    In the series finale of 22 Goals, Brian looks back at one of soccer's most momentous beginnings: the childhood and early career of Pelé, the player who defined the modern game. From his origins as a barefoot boy playing soccer on the streets of Brazil to his breakout performance at the 1958 World Cup, when he was just 17, we'll explore Pelé's breathtaking rise to stardom—the story that, more than any other, made the World Cup what it is today.

    How did soccer become "the beautiful game"? What does it mean for a game to be beautiful?

  • 18 - 17 | Michael Owen (1998)

    After confessing a truly embarrassing secret—so embarrassing, oh my God—Brian looks back at the English Golden Generation, one of the most celebrated and reviled groups of athletes ever. It's a nonstop carnival of toxic tabloids, broken metatarsals, amazing hair (David Beckham), slightly less amazing hair (Wayne Rooney)—oh, and Michael Owen's sensational 1998 goal against Argentina, the moment when all the madness began.  Host: Brian Phillips Producers: Devon Renaldo, Mike Wargon, Conor Nevins and Vikram Patel  Sound Design and Original Music: Devon Renaldo  Mixing and Mastering: Scott Somerville Match footage from FIFA Also available in Spanish and Portuguese Learn more about your ad choices.
