Franklin Foer is the Editor of the New Republic and the author of How Soccer Explains The World. Foer's book explores the world of soccer and its fanatical followers. Foer is also covering this year's World Cup in a blog called Goal Post. Vaughn Ververs at the CBS Public Eye explains:
GOOOAAAAL! There you have it, my complete depth of knowledge about World Cup Soccer, or any soccer really. Apparently I missed class the day they taught Franklin Foer's ground-breaking theory of "How Soccer Explains The World." Fortunately, we all get a make-up chance courtesy of Foer's new blog. What good is being the editor of an intellectually high-brow magazine like The New Republic if you can't use its Web site to blog about World Cup Soccer.
Now soccer fans can read Foer's book and also follow his in-depth coverage of the Cup online. Foer is joined by many other bloggers in covering this year's World Cup. Our BloggersBlog.com site has a list of many more World Cup Blogs.
