'Ranc's book provides a compelling analysis on how the printed media in three different countries portray the relationship of commercialization and globalization to football. 'Foreign' footballers seem to be just one of the many cases discussed by the media in respect of the globalization of the game, and not particularly the central aspect as the title might lead you to think. Ranc taps in some really interesting topics in regard to what it means to be a foreigner.' Renan Petersen-Wagner, Durham University, Soccer and Society -- .
