How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization by Franklin Foer

5.0

Not the best book I ever read, but the perfect book for me. This was an especially pertinent topic given the recent World Cup in Qatar, and to understand soccer’s relationship to global politics almost made Qatar…understandable. I just found it neat to consider elements beyond the rivalries I know and clubs I hate, and while I think Foer emphasized European nations too much, it’s hard to pick much from this one that didn’t entertain me.
