The Boundless Game : Soccer Stories from Across the Street to Around the World

The Boundless Game is a compelling exploration of soccer's power to unite humanity across all boundaries. Award-winning author Tim Bascom draws on his unique life—split between Kansas and East Africa—to reveal how this beautiful game transcends race, culture, and geography. Through vivid storytelling that moves seamlessly between humour and heartbreak, Bascom shares personal moments: finding solace during Ethiopia's brutal revolution, bridging racial divides on teams in Chicago and Kansas, and witnessing the courage of Afghanistan's Women's National Team. From Premier League passion to pickup games across the Middle East and Midwest, he uncovers the universal truths and deeply human meaning woven into soccer. Perfect for fans and non-fans alike, this book celebrates how an ordinary yet extraordinary game brings us all closer together.
