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

3.0

I learned a lot about international politics and soccer at the same time. It didn't really make me like organized sports anymore, except in his case of why Barcelona is different, but I feel much more well versed on things. I wish he'd do an update as it seems that everything exploded in the soccer world after he wrote this.

Makes you not look at a world cup the same way. And I'll always like the woman teams best because they do not go for the fake fouls and falls the way the men do. I wish he'd address this too.
