As we watch the 2010 World Cup, Americans are amazed at how intense the fans are throughout the world. Is absolutely incredible, and even though soccer today is not as big as football, basketball, and baseball, it surely will be in the future. It turns out that the 2010 census is revealing that there are an ever increasing number of Hispanic folks in the US, and they are the fastest-growing demographic segment – and on average; they love soccer.
Indeed, so do I, as I played soccer for seven years as a young man, and nowhere near the level of these incredible players in the World Cup of course, but enough to understand the game, and love it for what it is. The team work, the training, the agility, and you learn a lot about winning, what it takes to win, and there is a lot of philosophy in that.
In fact, the other day I was at the bookstore and I had to pick up a new book, and I noticed on the shelf a book titled; «Soccer and Philosophy – Beautiful Thoughts on a Beautiful Game,» by Ted Richards, Open Court Press Publishers, New York, NY, (2010), 406 pp, ISBN: 978-08126-967-69 – I bought this book immediately.
If you love soccer, and if you love watching soccer on TV, if you are very carefully scheduling your day around the World Cup games in South Africa in 2010, then this is a book I very much recommend to you. For anyone who’s ever played the game to win, played the game for the teamwork and camaraderie, or watched the game in amazement, this is a book you should read.
This is a great book for the athlete, and the thinking man, and I liken it to «Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair,» it’s just fabulous. It makes a good coffee table book as well. There are lessons and thoughts throughout the book, that make you see the game of soccer for what it is. After all, this is a sport that has united the world, and brought us closer together. It’s a sport played and watched by billions of people.
There is no sport like soccer the world over, and whether you call it, futball or soccer hardly matters, what matters is you get to learn the game more, and understand the philosophy, psychology, and what it all means – behind the scenes, in the minds of the players, coaches and fans, this is Soccer Philosophy at its best. And I highly recommend this book to you. Please consider it.
