Soccer has come a long way in our world. Many people
across the globe enjoy it, and it is one of the things that
brings us together, but it is also what keeps us apart. Franklin Foer, the
author of How Soccer Explains the World, explains
how soccer has shaped certain places in parts of the world socially and
economically. One such example is that in recent times, the winner of the world
cup is usually the country that is the wealthiest. That might be something you
might not have known and will look back at. This book is told through the
events Foer himself goes through to investigate how soccer affects societies in
parts of the world. You feel like you are actually witnessing the events
through his eyes, which I thought was an intriguing way to write this book. I
would rate this book a four out of five. Not only because I am a soccer fan,
but because it gives an in-depth view of how soccer plays a role in human
society. I would recommend this book to any sports fans in general, and to
those who would be interested in politics’ connection with sports.
