More dates would be helpful! I knew maybe 1% of the names and situations he mentions. Guess the book is meant for a much bigger soccer fan than me! I was always glad when I recognized what he was talking about (ie "Hand of God"). He got to tal to a lot of interesting people, though. Very fast paced and interesting as he hopped around the world. Breezy, enjoyable. Subtitle doesn't make much sense, as that only seems to be a small point in the grand scheme of the book. He seemed to focus more on the ways politics and soccer mesh- keeping a corrupt government in power is part of that, but it was more about the day to day workings.
8/10
