World Cup 2010: Global Soccer
JUNE 8, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
The World Cup, which starts this weekend, is easily the planet’s biggest global event. If Americans are not crazy about soccer yet, the rest of the world certainly is. Why does a simple game have the power to mobilize such a huge part of the world population? We talk with Steven and Harrison Stark, a soccer-fanatic father-and-son team, co-authors of World Cup 2010: The indispensible Guide to Soccer and Geopolitics.

  • Harrison Stark, student at Brown University, co-author of World Cup 2010: The indispensible Guide to Soccer and Geopolitics
