Club Soccer 101 Reviews

All the classic stories are here [as well as] lesser-known tidbits... Dempsey's prose is a nice mix of flavorful sports-reporting and poetic impressions... Enjoyable and informative. Succeeds wildly... Dempsey packs a surprising amount of history and information into the scant few pages allotted for each of the teams, a testament to his knowledge and tenacity... [R]eaders even remotely interested in soccer will have a difficult time putting it down. -- Douglas Lord Luke Dempsey is one of the funniest, most charming narrative companions I know. This book is the perfect vessel for his genius and one of the world's great reference books. I will keep it next to my television, so that I will have a wholesome way to kill halftimes. -- Franklin Foer, bestselling author of How Soccer Explains the World Built on a vault of detail that will impress soccer aficionados, supplying choice cuts of thinking, anecdote and history that can be used to impress when waxing authoritatively on the game...[It's] free from sentimentality, and crafted with a sharp wit. -- Alan Black
