## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book of soccer history
*by M***1 on October 24, 2024*

I have been reading through this book which is almost the size of the bible. It's loaded full of detailed stories of soccer strategies and ideas. Really good to help a new comer be aware of what has come before. It also give me ideas for things we could try differently in various situations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative
*by C***3 on January 27, 2025*

Great book, a must read for any coach as it will help them understand the evolution of tactics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An essential, if challenging, book for the novice
*by W***N on February 4, 2017*

(Reviewing the U.S. version of the book) This is a wonderful book for someone of an intellectual mindset coming to soccer as an adult. Wilson explains the early development of the sport, how duties came to be assigned to particular positions, and how those duties and positions evolved over time. He also describes how national styles developed, with a particular emphasis on how England came to its particular directness and physicality, and how it has failed to learn many lessons.I had only two complaints. The first is that Wilson repeatedly will switch from talking about one club, manager, or strategy to another without clear transitions or set-up for the new topic. This gets very confusing at times. The second is that this book is a challenge for non-British readers. Wilson assumes that the reader has a fairly detailed historical knowledge of British soccer. He'll refer casually to managers, players, and incidents of 100 or 150 years ago on the assumption that everyone knows who or what they are. That can make it difficult to understand some parts of the narrative.And now a special note of derision for the U.S. version of the book. The publisher appears to have recognized that Americans are getting more interested in soccer, and responded by producing an edition that, as far as I can tell, did nothing but search and replace "football" with "soccer," including in the subtitle. It comes off quite oddly in some places, particularly in references to "Total Soccer" instead of "Total Football." To be clear, any American who has taken the effort to read this book is accustomed to hearing the sport we know of as "soccer" called "football." If they wanted to produce a book for the U.S. market, their efforts would have been better spent by producing a glossary or adding some footnotes explaining the things that every Briton knows.
