Summary
It only comes around every four years and it's finally back - the World Cup! And this time it's right here on American soil! Action Network host Michael Calabrese welcomes soccer betting experts Sam Ingram and Daniele Fisichella from across the pond to break down what they call football. Both have been covering the sport for years for Action Network's parent company, Better Collective and beyond, and they've been wagering on it even longer. Together the crew dives into a higher level preview of what's to come this World Cup and how to approach betting the sport and tournament. They discuss the true contenders this time around, some sleepers they have their eye on, potential Golden Boot/Golden Ball winners and more. Stay tuned for more episodes to come with more futures, best bets and a full Team USA preview. All that and more right here on The Action Network Podcast.
