The book was just okay, which disappointed me a bit. While it was an interesting look at a game to which most Americans pay little attention, the arguments could have been made by anyone with even the slightest knowledge and understanding of international affairs.

The author took leave from his day job to travel around the world watching soccer matches. Of course he had to attempt to write a semi-profound book. There's some interesting stories, but tying them to globalization is a stretch.
