I found “Soccer In Sun and Shadow” such a good read. It was super engaging, witty and still quite informative. I especially enjoyed how easy it was to read. As someone who doesn’t really understand football, I appreciated this factor a lot. You would probably expect me to know a decent amount about football sinceContinue reading “Week 10: Football”
