Recent years have brought home a startling truth: soccer is no longer an also-ran among top U.S. sports. How did we get here? How did we go from having multiple professional soccer leagues flounder to having Major League Soccer prove to its doubters that it's here to stay? How did we evolve from barely having a Women's National Team to a golden era of women's soccer with a captivating style of play, great stars, and unforgettable moments?

Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock and Lucy Bronze, a generation of trailblazing women's footballers defied the odds. In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football in England, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families and their homeland, they travelled across Europe in search of professional opportunities. This groundbreaking book uncovers their untold stories: the original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who turned down international recognition to play in Italy.

You know when you’re in a Football City. The murals, the billboards, the graffiti, the colours on the bars and pubs. No two football cities are the same. That cross on the club badge, commemorating a 1st century fisherman martyr (Ajax). The ‘cemetery’ of graves dedicated to the club’s...

Unknown in Scotland upon his arrival and unheralded in the English game, Ange Postecoglou reveled in his status as an outside agitator.

In How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius, Nick Greene calls on a turf manager, an expert on color theory, and a landscape historian to understand the field itself, a paleoanthropologist to talk kicking, and an Anglican priest to explain schisms—how American football, soccer, and rugby could all develop from the field games of rowdy nineteenth-century British schoolboys.

What does being a football fan entail? With the help of top players, legendary managers and celebrity supporters, comedy writer Kevin Day dissects what it is that makes a real fan. He discusses the instinct to support a club, how we pick our team – family tradition, local club, glory hunting or 'I live in Surrey so it had to be Man U' – and, heart-searchingly, whether we saddle our children with the hopes, despair and occasional exhilaration that has marked our own lives. Kevin doesn't shy away from the serious issues either.

Now, Parkin turns his focus to the world of football and celebrity in his own inimitable way.

Heading the ball is considered as much a part of football as passing, tackling and shooting. Pelé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie – all have executed memorable headers. But the impact can cause lasting damage. Heading for Trouble is an essential exposé on this dynamic yet increasingly controversial skill.

Soccer is the most global of pastimes, but no international rivalry carries more cultural and geo-political baggage than the United States vs. Mexico, especially today. With the 2026 World Cup set to be co-hosted by the two nations (along with Canada), it's time to shine a spotlight on this storied continental grudge match. In Sibling Rivalry, Hal Phillips investigates the intense, complex associations between the two countries, both on and off the field.

What if what we think about football isn't true: that despite all the efforts of coaches, managers, and players to control chance, it's not uncommon for the wrong teams to be at the top of the table and not the right ones to be relegated? Christoph Biermann has embarked on a search for chance and spoken with coaches, managers, club owners, and mathematicians all over the globe.

When the matchday many were treated as the hooligan few, football supporters didn't react with violence or vandalism, but with typewriters, staple guns and Tippex. The fanzine movement of the 1980s transformed a bleak time into a hopeful one, re-humanising spectators in the process. Producing DIY zines and selling them outside football grounds, supporters offered authenticity, humour and criticism written from the terraces and not the press box, with truths that their clubs and the footballing authorities found uncomfortable.

For 140 years, women’s soccer has been a powerful global force and a vehicle for sparking change. That power has shone through 140 years of obstacles and setbacks, bans and ridicule, dismissal and devaluation. Today, investors and audiences recognize the value of women’s soccer not because it can raise money for charity or inspire young girls (although it can) but simply because it is good business. This sport and the women who play it have captured the world’s attention and will continue to advance the game—and the culture around it.
