“Soccer in a Football World: The Story of America’s Forgotten Game” by David Wangerin is available August 4th. I just read a very interesting review of this book here .

“Bloody Confused! A Clueless American Sportswriter Seeks Solace in English Soccer“, by Chuck Culpepper, is available August 5th. I love this description: “After covering the American sports scene for fifteen years, Chuck Culpepper suffered from a profound case of Common Sportswriter Malaise. He was fed up with self-righteous proclamations, steroid scandals, and the deluge of in-your-face PR that saturated the NFL, the NBA, and MLB. Then in 2006, he moved to London and discovered a new and baffling world—the renowned Premiership soccer league. Culpepper pledged his loyalty to Portsmouth, a gutsy, small-market team at the bottom of the standings. As he puts it, “It was like childhood, with beer.”” Yeah, I love that!
