The second entry in our Book Club is here, and we discuss David Wangerin's Soccer in a Football World.
The story of soccer in America is a long, convoluted, sometimes crazy tale. It is a saga of mismanagement, unreasonable expectations, and mistake after mistake. Soccer in a Football World by David Wangerin, is a chronicle of that saga, from US Soccer's intrepid beginnings, its rise, it's dark ages, it's resurrection, and catastrophic near collapse. It is an educational, sometimes wry, incredibly entertaining look at the history of our great sport in the US. With the US hosting Copa America Centanario and Crew SC entering in to the US Open Cup, the oldest tournament in the US this month, it was the perfect choice for June's edition of the Massive Report Book Club.
