Title: Redhawk
Product review: I am a soccer fan an have a great interest in culture and history. This book did little to enlightment any of those subjects. As other reviewers have said it starts out rather depressingly, but then where I differ with others is that it doesn't get much better. I love the game of soccer and this book makes it into a rather depressing sport throughout. When one tries to explain a culture through sports, especially international soccer, one better have the historical ties nailed down, not just based one on because somebody told me so, or I think so kind of conclusions. Finally, I don't think there was much of a point to the book other than the author got to see a few great stadiums and teams play. For that I'm envious. There are other books like "Soccer in Sun and Shadow", or a 'Season With Verona" that can give on a better feel of soccer and culture.
