"This book is full of insight, well written and with praiseworthy clarity of ideas. It is an important and synthetic work which covers the social and cultural complexity of football dealing with class, gender, ethnicity, business and nationalism. At the same time the inner meanings, the profound emotional attachments of the supporters, the role of football heroes and the aesthetics of the game are discussed in a fascinating comparative perspective. The comparison of the football world–views in the United Kingdom, Europe, South America and Africa is presented in a masterly way. Giulianotti has produced a pioneering book that surpasses by far previous and partial attempts to discuss the complexity of football."
––Eduardo P. Archetti, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo
"This study brings together more than 600 historical, anthropological, geographic, as well as sociological and theoretical sources, in an integrated analysis of world (association) football, or soccer.With a welcome eclecticism, Giulianotti draws upon Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Bakhtin, Giddens, Foucault, Goffman and Appadurai, among others, to relate to wider sociological debates."
––Alan Tomlinson, University of Brighton, British Journal of Sociology
"Football is a masterly example of soccer as an academic subject. Giulianotti′s knowledge of the sport is without question, while his grasp and application of theory is superb. In each subject area Giulianotti applies different theories to provide a detailed understanding of the game and its complexities ... Football is readable, original and its primary focus is the game. Although it has large theoretical content, it is never dry or obtrusive. Giulianotti′s pleasing style is crucial in making the book a success, and it should be considered as a seminal text in the field of football academia." (International Sports Studies)
"A comprehensive and studied project that ably expresses the maturity and significance of Giulianotti′s work ... One cannot help but be impressed by Football′ssheer substantive range, within which Giulianotti displays an enviable knowledge and command of a myriad of national football cultures." (Soccer and Society)
