"Soccernomics" by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski (Nation Books)
I keep seeing this book being reviewed everywhere.
Enough so that I now feel compelled to buy it.

Female wrestling in Bolivia
Related to soocer? I just found out about a documentary titled Fighting Cholitas. Female wrestlers in Bolivia. The promo videos for the movie are amusing at the very least, and the girls seem to be having a blast. Check it out.

about running, and running barefoot
Every so often at a pick up game I notice someone playing barefoot. Usualy the Brasilian guy. :) Unless everyone else is playing barefoot I think this is crazy. Christopher McDougall makes an argument for barefoot running, something I had never heard about. He touches on some interesting topics such as the zen of running, and running as a means of becoming a better person. Insert the word soccer instead of running and we are good to go.
