Soccer is Life by Benito Rodriguez


Soccer is one of the biggest played sports in the world. For many, it’s a hobby, but for others, it’s their career. The sport is well known and loved, but not many know what happens outside of the field. In the book, How Soccer Explains the World, by Franklin Foer, we get a good illustration from his words what goes on in the chaos. The author himself personally went out on the job and got firsthand knowledge and shares his experiences along with how he felt in situations and his emotions. Like in Europe, some clubs were controlled by gangs, racists and all sorts of people, but that’s only the frosting on the cake; there’s plenty more interesting factors that contribute in the background. The book is interesting and unique, you learn things that you probably weren’t aware about. I highly recommend this book if you’re a soccer fanatic.
