This week on a very special Oddball History Podcast, we shamelessly attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the World Cup with our very own soccer episode, featuring the wildest stories in the history of the beautiful game--from the 1915 British Football Match Fixing Scandal to the 1966 World Cup being saved by a collie mix named Pickles to the altogether insane tale of Carlos Kaiser, the Brazilian con man who spent the 1980s and 90s as an active professional soccer player while never actually playing any soccer.
