How To Watch Football: 52 Rules for Understanding the Beautiful Game, On and Off the Pitch

Product Information

The European Super League "launch" really damaged my love for football (Liverpool fan), and my relationship to my club is still irreparably damaged as a result, and I can't be bothered watching much football live anymore. Just highlights from Forest Green, Wrexham and Brighton on YouTube is fine for me. But Tifo Football and the Athletic means I still get to take part in the best sport in the world on a daily basis, and I'm thankful for that. The writers produce excellent, in-depth football content on YouTube and on The Athletic. I thoroughly enjoy their videos with special praise for their great tactical breakdowns of teams, coaches and matches. In particular, the tactical analyses by JJ Bull "The Bullet" (one of the contributors to the book) have truly made me better able to watch and understand contemporary football matches.

I read this in 45 minutes, but would likely learn more by watching first half of any football match. Gonna serve as a present for someone else, since that's the only way I can get rid of it. Ik was al bekend met en fan van Tifo via YouTube, dus ik was benieuwd om te zien hoe ze hun content vertaalden naar een ander medium. Dat hebben ze op zich zeker niet slecht gedaan. Ook in het boek is de lay-out, die zowel leuk (illustraties) als functioneel (grafische voorstellingen) is, een groot pluspunt. As such, I had the book on the top of my Christmas wish list and was delighted to receive it as a present. I read it over the Christmas/New Year holidays and felt throughout that I was not really the intended target audience.I do like the Tifo guys and their brilliant and funny podcast as my other half had them on every night during the World cup. PDF / EPUB File Name: How_To_Watch_Football_-_Tifo_The_Athletic.pdf, How_To_Watch_Football_-_Tifo_The_Athletic.epub Helaas is het boek niet op maat van een doorwinterde voetbalfan. Er worden veel basisprincipes behandeld of zaken die een voetbalkenner als vanzelfsprekend ervaart, waardoor je weinig bijleert. Bovendien zijn de hoofdstukken ook erg beknopt. Daardoor missen ze de nodige diepgang als er dan toch eens een onbekend thema wordt aangehaald.

How To Watch Football - Penguin Books UK

I love Tifo Football's YouTube channel. Since the Russia World Cup, it has been my go to resource for understanding more of the game of football; tactics, the business and sub plots going on behind the scenes. Unfortunately, none of the chapters go into any depth at all. Having read a few brilliant football books such as Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics, Zonal Marking: The Making of Modern European Football and The Mixer: The Story of Premier League Tactics, from Route One to False Nines, I found myself learning almost nothing new. Some chapters bear promise, delving into the statistics of certain set pieces such as corners and throw-ins, but they merely whet the appetite rather than provide genuine new knowledge. The variety of topics covered was especially pleasing, and although the book can be read in around an hour or two, it made for a surprisingly edifying experience. With that being said, the reason I only give 4 stars is because when I bought the book, I though it would be a somewhat in-depth guide about football tactics and off-field management. The book touches on more general topics as well, leaving the content not as in-depth as I though it would be. But that's just a me thing.I found this book from Tifo nicely pitched. Of the 52 suggestions of how to watch football, there were probably about 15 that were very accessible and quite obvious, pitched at someone who has recently started watching the game. We’re excited to announce that our book, How To Watch Football, will be published by Penguin Books UK on November 17.
