  • "The circuitous journey of soccer in America."@en
  • "The author attempts to explain why European soccer has not been fully accepted in the United States, tracing its history and endurance alongside the more popular American football."@en
  • "Traces the fragile history of soccer from its early capitulation to the gridiron on college campuses to the United States' impressive performance in the 2002 World Cup. The author chronicles soccer's enduring struggle alongside the country's more familiar pursuits and recounts the shifting attitudes toward the "foreign" game."@en
  • "David Wangerin's humorous and thorough book tells the story of American soccer's long struggle from the brief promise of the 1920's, through the euphoric highs and extravagant follies of the North American Soccer League, to today's hard-won acceptance."
