In this episode, Ethan dives into the story of a soccer superfan willing to make a massive personal sacrifice for the love of the game. One devoted England supporter is putting his second home on the market so he can afford to follow his team across North America during the 2026 World Cup. 

The retired teacher plans to spend roughly seven weeks traveling across the United States, Mexico, and Canada to attend as many matches as possible, starting with England’s opener in Dallas. 

But the story raises bigger questions than just fandom. With travel, lodging, and ticket prices climbing into the thousands, following a team through the tournament has become an expensive commitment that many fans simply can’t afford. 

So where’s the line between passion and excess? Is this the ultimate example of dedication… or proof that the cost of global sports is spiraling out of control?
