Football and politics have been inseparable since the sports' creation, but how do they interact in the modern world? And what happens when countries with different domestic and international agendas meet in the ultimate clash of nation v nation conflict... the World Cup?! Starting with the Russia 2018 World Cup, Awful Commentary brings you: 'Who Watches The World Cup?' a podcast about the intersection of football and politics that aims to predict the results of matches through both the teams skill with a ball and political motivation.

55 years of hurt and counting! A heartbreaking end to an amazing tournament leaves Dave and Dom with lots to talk about. Is this a country that even deserves football to come home? As the joke goes that if it did, Priti Patel would have it deported, and that pretty much sums up the episode. The boys debate Gareth Southgate's competency, the players of the tournament and where England goes from here, both football-wise and spiritually. Italy are the well-deserved Champions of Europe, thank you for joining us during this incredible tournament!
