Six Football books recommended by the Economist.

As the games and teams in Euro2024 are really not to the expected level, with 2 exceptions: Spain and Germany; nothing like reading a good book while the game drags into extra-time and penalties.

Hope you can find 1 or 2 for your summer readings.

Note: Already read the Galeano one (in the original version) and I really enjoyed it and shows all the passion and excitement the game can produce and that unfortunately you are not seeing in the pitch throughout the Euro2024.

1. Football Clichés. By Adam Hurrey.

2. Fever Pitch. By Nick Hornby

3. Soccer Against the Enemy. By Simon Kuper

4. Soccer in Sun and Shadow. By Eduardo Galeano

5. This Love is Not for Cowards: Salvation and Soccer in Ciudad Juárez

6. A Life Too Short: The Tragedy of Robert Enke
