Title: Glib and poorly researched
Product review: Foer has a good idea -- explain how the world works through the eyes of those involved in various soccer clubs -- but he does a pretty poor job with this book. Part of the problem is that he seems to want to do the least possible amount of work which means what he produces comes across as lazy and ill-informed. I wish he'd spent more time talking to more people in each of the countries he visited because you get the impression he spent about a weekend in each place. This is a disappointing book.
