They call him a 21st-century god of soccer. One of the all time
greats. A king. But Lionel Messi's crown is still missing one big
jewel: a World Cup trophy for his home country, Argentina.

In this episode, host Brittany Luse explores Messi's long road to a
World Cup victory with Jasmine Garsd, host of NPR's new podcast The
Last Cup. Along the way, they go into how immigration, race and
class coil around the world of international soccer.

Then, Brittany goes on a gastronomic journey with food columnist
Illyanna Maisonet, whose new cookbook Diasporican weaves in
diasporic influences with Puerto Rico's Indigenous, African and
European culinary traditions.
