サッカーが世界を解明する (Tankobon Hardcover)

The book draws surprising parallels between soccer and global affairs—what inspired this approach, and how did the author choose which stories to include?

I loved how the stories highlighted soccer's role in identity and community, but I also felt a bit overwhelmed by the number of different countries covered. Was this breadth necessary or did it dilute some stories?

The book suggests that football reflects and influences political conflicts and cultural shifts. Do readers feel this is an accurate reflection of the sport's impact?
