Miguel and Lawrence are seasoned sports journalists who have spent recent weeks dissecting the most pressing topics surrounding football's biggest competition. On their podcast, Copa Independent, they have explored England's inconsistent track record, the socio-political implications of Donald Trump's involvement, and the rising costs of attending the World Cup. They have also debated whether Thomas Tuchel could be the missing ingredient for England's success and whether the 2010 World Cup was truly as good as we remember or simply a case of nostalgia.
