More than Just a Sport by Jorge Cortez Arvizu

Countless Americans who enjoy soccer, including myself, visualize it as a hobby, source of entertainment, or just a sport. In other parts of the world, however, soccer affects the way in which people live their daily lives. How Soccer Explains the World by Franklin Foer is a non-fiction novel about globalization. In his book, Foer travels to various portions of the world, where soccer is a way of life, and argues that this universal sport can be a potential cause of change in religion, politics, and economics. Overall, I would give this book four out of five stars because Foer does an amazing job of constructing a whole new perspective on soccer. This well written book will honestly change the way in which you view soccer. I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy soccer
