laz_'s review against another edition
funny
lighthearted
not a regular men in blazers listener bc one’s an everton fan (sorry) and it’s weird to see english guys obsessed with the u.s., but otherwise the audiobook is great fun and gives some fun history of moments and players, the personal asides are more for pod listeners.

Rog and Davo have outdone themselves here. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more suboptimal than the podcast and the tv show, they release this book that is as crap as the rest. And I couldn’t have possibly enjoyed it more.

I wish there were more. I was cracking up laughing throughout the whole book. I can’t wait to share this with my dad.

It’s fun to read although I think it may not be fully appreciated if you don’t listen to the podcast. Definitely not a reference book. Lots of fun.

If you are a fan of men in blazers, it’s definitely worth the read! So funny! Gave it 4 stars just because of the encyclopedia format, obviously I knew it was going to be, but couldn’t put it at the top.

This books seems like something that would only exist in my imagination, not reality. A book all about soccer and chock-full of game of thrones references?? How does this actually exist?
My one qualm with the book was that a lot of it focused on historic teams, players, and matches in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Which is fine. But I definitely began to tune out a bit reading about obscure World Cup qualifying matches that happened 60 years ago.
Otherwise, a fun, light read that I would recommend to any football fan. ⚽️

Feels more like a podcast than an audiobook. Gave me some chuckles, but I didn’t really learn anything about soccer.

From "Accents" and "Achilles Feet" to "Zaha" and "Zidane" this book is as lively and weird as its authors. If you've listened to the podcast or watched the show, a lot of this material will be familiar to you. Best suited for those who find themselves on the verge of soccer enthusiasm but in need of a nerdy, humorous nudge.
