"""Treats football with the kind of serious analysis it deserves but rarely gets."" ""A rich exploration of football in its broadest sense - not as merely a set of match results, statistics and tactical approaches but as a living social entity."" ""A successful attempt to think through the nature of football’s significance."" ""Games Without Frontiers forces us to see philosophy and football in a new relation: as inherently connected rather than as opposites."""
