Offers a cultural critique of soccer’s public rhetoric. John Sloop picks up on the work of Laurent Dubois and others to see in American soccer - a sport that has achieved popularity despite its struggle to establish major league status - a game that permits surprisingly diverse modes of thinking about national identity because of its marginality.
