Globalization

In Franklin Foer's article "From How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization", there is a repetitive attempt to develop connections between globalization and soccer. In my opinion, his attempt was not very much of a success given that it was a very difficult concept to fully understand the direction he was headed in and in the end, never truly got to. Foer's effort to produce the idea that soccer is a very worldwide sport and popular within multiple countries and connect that with globalization was a long shot, but I agree with him with him in the fact that it is better to relate it to soccer than any other sport because they are not all equally favored internationally. To be honest, his point never truly got across or created valid connections and he was not very convincing within his argument.
