Though it has become my favorite sport, I haven't read many soccer books, but this year (in between my 52 Books and Book Notes projects), I have managed to read a couple. The World Cup energized me to pick up Franklin Foer's How Soccer Explains the World. In a nutshell, Foer attempts to explain globalization in terms of soccer around the world. His political metaphors often miss their mark, but as he presents of the state of soccer around the world in every chapter, the reader realizes his love for the game.
If you want to read about globalization, pick up something by Thomas Friedman. If you love soccer and want to read about how it is played around the world, this book is a GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!
