Hello and welcome to Dummy, a twice weekly conversation among editors and friends of Howler magazine.

My name is George Carachie.

I'm the editor of Howler.

Joining me in the tiniest studio in all of Miami is still the only member of this podcast to have scored a goal for Arsenal.

We'll talk to him about how Brazil is not exactly following through on some promises it made

about environmental conservation for the World Cup, and what a group of people are doing to change that.

So plenty to talk about,

but of course we have to start with the game that just ended. We're recording this minutes

after Belgium shocked the United States and sent them packing from the World Cup in the

round of 16. Okay, so the stat that we should talk about is not that the U.S. had 53% possession, according to FIFA's website,

but I think that Tim Howard had more saves than any goalkeeper in any World Cup game since

1966, which is incredible. Danny, is that a good thing? Yeah, I mean, it's a good thing in terms
