I need a recommendation for a soccer book to read over the rest of the summer. I am open to anything biography, tactics, history etc...

I really enjoyed Chasing the Game and also the book Soccernomics. Chasing the Game is a history of US soccer and our quest to no longer be an afterthought in world soccer. I learned from that book that Tim Howard’s idol growing up was LSU’s own Chris Jackson, because they both played basketball and had Tourette’s.

Miracle of Castel di Sangro is a book by a famous American political writer who wrote The Selling of the US Presidency and a book about the OJ Simpson trial.
He moved to Italy for a year in the mid 90s knowing relatively little about soccer and followed a team around that had just gotten promoted to Serie B. It was basically a village team owned by a guy in the mafia that ended up playing against real teams.
The team ended up signing a handful of well-known players as well. All I’ll say is it was a very eventful year.

The Ball is Round: Global History of Football…. Fantastic
The Inverted Pyramid… equally as great
Forgot about The Mixer: Premier League Tactics… really good.

How Soccer Explains the World is a really good read.

“A Life to Short”
It’s a book that’s more on the personal level as it’s about the life/death of German goalie, Robert Enke, who committed suicide during his playing career.

This is hilarious but I would not buy this book.

The Club is also pretty much the story of what’s happening in college sports now.

Belatedly thank you all. Last summer I read "USA 84 The World Cup that Changed the Game" that I really enjoyed. I just ordered several books off this list for this summer.

I really enjoyed “And it was Beautiful” by Phil Hay - MOT

Are you a fan of any team?
If you want to go with biographies there is no better place to start than Pele.

Atlanta United but mostly USMNT. I will keep the Pele biography on the list for the future.
