Abstract

Although the word "soccer" is primarily used in the United States, it actually derives from the English term "asSOCiation football." Known throughout most of the rest of the world as football, the game on the pitch is often cited as the most popular sport on the planet. Going country by country, this book helps explain why and what impact that brings.
