Football, or soccer as most of us Americans know it, is a game with many different facets. Yakich is able to provide a great overview of the game, playing styles, growth of media exposure, and many other factors. The various subjects are addressed in a way that I felt I got a good overview of each of them without getting lost in minutiae.
Yakich describing how COVID affected him and soccer helped him was by far the highlight of the book. I loved reading about the various ways he made it possible to have weekly games with friends. I also loved how he described the way soccer helped him fend off loneliness and despair, like when he got on a Zoom call and made a homemade ball with his friend Rodolfo. Yakich was able to perfectly straddle the line between being relatable and navel gazing. That's what makes this book special.
