A global look at soccer, the various leagues and competitions around the world, and some of the best players/teams by region.

I like that this breaks things down by region, so you actually get to hear about some of the best soccer players in Africa, Asia, and Oceania in addition to the big European and Americas' stars. It also talks about the difference between various leagues, how they formed, what the leagues are called in each region, and how often they hold competitions. I appreciated that there was an equal amount of information on both mens' and womens' leagues and players as well. This book wen to print in 2021 (which it clearly states several times in the book), so stats and achievements are according to that date.
