Reviews
Franklin Foer has penetrated the global game of soccer in all its forms and at the deepest level. This is a book that reveals a whole different side of the sport. Fans everywhere, take note: How Soccer Explains the World is illuminating, fun, and provocative -- and a must read., Lively and provocative. . . . A novel look at how the world is everywhere becoming more alike, and everywhere more different, as people seek to define themselves through soccer. . . . Unfailingly interesting., Terrific. . . . A travelogue full of important insights into both cultural change and persistence. . . . Foer's soccer odyssey lends weight to the argument that a humane world order is possible., Funny and terrifying. . . . Several chapters stand alone as surgical strikes of intelligent reporting. . . . Franklin Foer is that rare thing: a homegrown soccer pundit., Important and controversial as the subject of globalization is, it's not often much fun to read about. This book is a dazzling exception -- and no less a contribution to serious study of the issue for being a delight. It's full of lively tales, colorful characters, and humor -- all on behalf of explaining, clearly and convincingly, how the world is changing in momentous ways., Foer picks 10 different stories, each of which is fascinating and teaches us something small but important. . . . Mr. Foer is a terrific storyteller, with sharp eyes and a charming, ironic tone., Most people who write about globalization never leave the world of fancy hotels and conferences. Franklin Foer actually went out and did a day's work. His reporting among soccer's lumpen proletariat illuminates the dark complexities of globalization., An eccentric, fascinating exposé of a world most of us know nothing about. . . . Bristles with anecdotes that are almost impossible to believe., Foer is an accomplished journalist. His sketches of historical background are deftly done. His skills as a narrator are enviable. His characterizations, many of them based on interviews, are comparable to those in Norman Mailer's journalism., A wildly entertaining romp through the world with a smart, nervy guide. Tucked into this amazing snapshot of unconventional wisdom is a brilliant description of the chilling interface of sports and politics and how it's used to manipulate our lives., Franklin Foer has written a book that is significantly entertaining if you like soccer, and entertainingly significant if you do not., Fascinating. . . . Foer scores a game-winning goal with this analysis of the interchange between soccer and the new global economy. . . . One doesn't have to be a soccer fan to truly appreciate this absorbing book., Important. . . . Foer's book sets one thinking about the great American isolation. If we want to understand the world, we should probably try to understand soccer., Franklin Foer's book shows that soccer is much more than just kicking the ball around -- it is about the way soccer exists in people's lives. Brilliantly written and well thought out, it is required reading not just for soccer lovers, but anyone who wants to understand what is going on in the world today., A great new guide. It combines a diary of an obsessive with some penetrating thoughts on globalism. It's as if Nick Hornby, author of the brilliant soccer book Fever Pitch, commandeered Tom Friedman's laptop., Step aside Tom Friedman, Sam Huntington, and Amy Chua. Franklin Foer's dark and witty tale of the soccer world reveals the meaning of globalization in all its joys and horrors., Franklin Foer has mapped, delightfully, the ways in which soccer's emerging international brands and symbols clash with stubborn local tribalisms. . . . Artfully told. . . . Foer's book is horrifying, and terrific., I've always admired Franklin Foer's smart, insightful reporting, but here he does something I couldn't have predicted: took me into a world I was completely unfamiliar with and brought it alive with wit, a sense of adventure -- and cultural and geopolitical ramifications I wouldn't otherwise have imagined., Foer's formidable prose only reinforces his central premises. So, soccer might not explain it all, but it can serve as a starting point for understanding shifts in global economies, politics and religion, as we fall toward an ever-shrinking world., What a brilliant idea! Franklin Foer provides a personal yet richly-reported look at how approaches to soccer tell us so much about different societies and their cultural attitudes. He even uses the game to dissect the ideological and class divides in America. The result is both amusing and revealing -- and delightfully provocative.
