Soccer Simplified

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It recently rose to third in the United States, passing baseball. However, soccer still falls outside of traditional American culture. American football, a far more complex game compared to soccer, is better understood despite the steep learning curve for the rules of the game. Soccer simplified is a day-by-day manual to provide insight about why things are the way they are, and improve understanding about a variety of misunderstood topics. For each day of the World Cup, a short 5-minute read and an interactive web-based supplement provide the reader a quick but valuable insight to the nuances of the game or competitions.
