【聊了什么】

本期我们请来《翻转体育》主播Hualun，一起聊即将在美国、墨西哥和加拿大举行的世界杯。但这不是一期预测谁会夺冠的节目，而是借世界杯看美国：一个全球化程度最高的体育赛事，进入美国之后，会怎样撞上美国式的基础设施、城市规划、体育商业和政治现实？

【What We Talked About】

In this episode, we are joined by Hualun, host of 泛转体育, for a conversation with Xiao Hua and Harry Wang about the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. But this is not really a prediction episode about who will win. Instead, we use the World Cup as a lens to look at the United States: what happens when one of the most globalized sporting events runs into American infrastructure, urban planning, sports business, and politics?
