I'm not a soccer enthusiast. Nor have I been watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, I thought it would be fitting to make a post pertaining to books which feature soccer in some fashion.
Checkout my list below of books featuring soccer.
1. For Whom The Ball Rolls by Ian Plenderleith
2. Over the Line by Tom Palmer
3. Papers in the Wind by Eduardo Sacheri
4. Paris 75 by Billy Morris
5. The Hope That Kills Us by Adrian Searle
6. The Blinder by Barry Hines
7. Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby
8. The Striker and the Clock by Georgia Cloepfil
9. Golazo by Andreas Campomar
10. How to Watch Soccer by Ruud Gullit
Are you watching the 2026 FIFA World Cup?
UPDATE: I decide to listen to unabridged audio version of Over the Line by Tom Palmer. I finished it in one sitting. Excellent read! Full review to come.
No, I'm really not interested in the World Cup and am not actually a soccer fan, all of which probably says nothing good about me. That's an interesting list of books, none of which I've read but I might actually give one a try just in honor of the World Cup.
ReplyDeleteLike you, Dorothy, I am not a soccer fan either. I never liked playing soccer in school either. I thought the topic of 'soccer' would make for an interesting blog post with the 2026 FIFA World Cup in progress. I was actually surprised how much I enjoyed reading 'Over the Line' by Tom Palmer.
