reviewed How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization on July 02, 2018 How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization
The right book at the right time. I'm not a big soccer fan but I love the World Cup. I couldn't pick out a Chelsea from a Real Madrid player in a police lineup but every four years, with the help of 538 and the Guardian World Cup podcast, I will shamelessly bluff my way through conversations about things like Neymar's theatrics, strengths and weaknesses of VAR and whether England has the easier side of the draw.
Foer mostly talks about club sides (as opposed to national teams) but I thought it was fascinating. He even has a somewhat convincing explanation for why soccer has not taken off in the USA. Hint: how many NASCAR fans watch soccer too?
