SB Nation's Zito Madu joins the podcast on a soccer-filled Sunday afternoon at Banter, where he discussed his family's immigration to the U.S. from Nigeria and his former life as a professional footballer. He also chatted with Tom about this summer's World Cup, why the women's game has gained traction in America but not in other soccer-obsessed nations, and the rolling calamity that is VAR.
