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

3.0

Foer clearly has passion for the material and it shows. Unfortunately there is a lot of stuff that is vague and skimmed over. I'd love to see a longer version of this book. There are a lot of biases in the book, but Foer admits them freely which adds to the feel the book puts out.

Overall the book is worth the time. Problem is, the subject is worth more time that the book gives. Read it, but then keep digging deeper. An orderly bibliography or footnote section would really help here, but none exists.
