World Cup Nuggets Daily Episode 1: Argentina

It's the first episode of Halcyon’s World Cup Nuggets daily, our mini-podcast featuring a short preview and a ‘nugget’ about each of the 32 teams taking part in Qatar.

That’s a lot of nuggets. But to help us we've got renowned football author and historian Richard Foster, whose new book, World Cup Nuggets (see what we did there?) is a) an indispensable guide to the World Cup's weird, wild and wonderful stories and b) out on 24 October.

So here's episode 1, on Argentina. Good form, straightforward-ish group, Lionel Messi and much more. It's nearly World Cup time!
