Soccer in a Football World
The Story of America’s Forgotten Game
by David Wangerin

When the USA reached the 2002 World Cup quarter-finals, fans had good reason to celebrate. For 100 years they had been more used to humiliating failures, the repeated collapse of starry-eyed plans for a pro league and the contempt of mainstream sports devotees who dubbed soccer “un-American”. Yet the neglected story of American soccer’s long struggle is a rich and surprising one. Soccer in a Football World traces its path from the brief promise of the 1920s, through the euphoric highs and extravagant follies of the NASL, to today’s hard-won respectability.
