Read "How Soccer Explains the World" this weekend. Out in paperback.

Great book for anyone interested in worldwide eurosport.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. Can't wait for the WC this summer! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO L

Are you familiar with Eduardo Galeano's Soccer in Sun and Shadow or Ryszard Kapuscinski's The Soccer War?

No, this is the first soccer book I've read. Really wild stories. Corruption, racism, violence, transcendence. It has is all.

(Too Tall, it is edited by a B-CC grad BTW).

I'll keep an eye out for the others.
