About football

Financial Times columnist Simon Kuper wrote about the soccer journey which was accomplished under the age of 20. And it's amazingly good; undoubtedly the first and most beautiful on the waves of now-not-new football houses 'writing' that followed with very high prices. Kuper travels to 22 countries to find out how football has shaped individual politics and culture - and vice versa - to meet players, politicians and collect anecdotes and monitor along the way. We all know football as a global trend, but the good news - from the sad to the extraordinary - shows just how far its reach can reach.
