About This Episode
⚽ The biggest sporting event on Earth gets the Hyenas treatment. This week, the boys dive into the incredible history of the FIFA World Cup—from its unlikely beginnings to the moments that turned soccer into a global obsession. They break down the greatest goals ever scored, the legends who became immortal, and ask the ultimate sports debate: **What if America's greatest athletes grew up chasing the World Cup instead of the NFL or NBA?** Then things take a darker turn as they examine the controversy surrounding the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the migrant labor system that built the tournament, and the debate over whether global scrutiny led to meaningful labor reforms—or simply exposed deeper human rights problems. History, sports, politics, hot takes, and absolute chaos—just the way the Hyenas like it. #HistoryHyenas #WorldCup #Soccer #Football #Messi #Maradona #Pele #Zidane #Qatar2022 #SportsHistory #ComedyPodcast Support our sponsors: https://zocdoc.com/HYENAS Right now, when you buy two months of BlueChew Gold, you get the third for FREE with promo code HYENAS.
