I'm doing research for my book, the working title of which is Son of an Irish Pig-Thief, with a lead role that only Bill Murray can play. (But the synopsis is FINISHED -- I'm ready to talk.)

According to Bill Murray, soccer is the “World’s Game.” That’s according to Bill Murray, the well-known Australian sports historian. The World’s Game: A History of Soccer. I’m reading a newer book, Soccernomics, by Simon Kuper, a journalist who lives in Paris, and Stefan Szymanski, an economist who lives in London.
