## Resource

Writer Andres Martinez is the author of a new book on American Soccer 'The Great Game - A Tale of Two Football's And America's Quesst to Conquer Global Sport' which is a deep dive into how American soccer has moved in from the fringes of society to the mainstream and how America's traditional sports are, in turn, seeking to spread their reach globally. In this conversation with Simon Evans, host of The Soccer Business, Andres explores the role of culture and politics in keeping soccer out of the mainstream, soccer and identity in American society and the future for the sport.
