Books that explain football and its politics

On the 4th episode of The Away End, Daniel and John kick things off discussing Colombian star James Rodríguez and the curse of effortless talent. John dives into one of this year's potential sleeper teams who could create some intrigue, the Elephants of Cote D'Ivoire. And Daniel tells a story about what he watched unfold on the streets of Buenos Aires when the perceived invincibility of youth ran into intense fandom following a nearby soccer match. Daniel and John also respond to listener emails.
