The Globalization of Football - Linked Article


http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/19/q-a-soccer-globalization/

This is an interesting little phone interview from the NY Times' Jeffrey Marcus with Franklin Foer, the editor of The New Republic, who wrote “How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization,” and published in 2004.

For the most part, I agree with the premise presented in these interview excerpts - but the book is definitely deserving of a proper review by yours truly. I have no idea why I haven't read it yet - but it's next up on my reading list.

I'll follow up soon.
