The book arrived a week late, which was a bummer. However, I’m glad I finally got it because it's packed with interesting stats and stories from the world of football. Definitely worth checking out if you're a fan!

Interesting but Lacks Depth
The Age of Football has some great stories and stats, but I felt it skimmed over some major events too quickly. It’s a solid read if you’re new to the sport, but seasoned fans might want something with more depth.

Not What I Expected
I thought this book would be more about tactics and player analysis. Instead, it focuses a lot on history and global trends. While it’s well-written, it wasn’t what I was looking for, so I'm a bit disappointed.
