Tifo video: How To Watch Football - The Athletic

The variety of topics covered was especially pleasing, and although the book can be read in around an hour or two, it made for a surprisingly edifying experience. It is essentially a written summary of some of their popular videos, with illustrations to go along. It is really a nice read for football fans, and it does touch on several topics that are not very familiar to a common fan.

If I’m to knit pick, It just felt like I was reading a picture book and would have liked it to go a little further into depth about some things rather than just a brief summary/chapter on each topic. As a non-football watcher with some basic understanding, I couldn't really connect the concepts in the book to what I was watching on screen, or maybe I wasn't sure what to look out for - so it's not really a book for newbies.

It shares visual design with Tifo's Youtube channel and is very nicely packed in format where every topic takes 2 pages and has very meaningful and insightful visuals.

The European Super League "launch" really damaged my love for football (Liverpool fan), and my relationship to my club is still irreparably damaged as a result, and I can't be bothered watching much football live anymore. The only criticism I have for this book is the garish artwork and layout (this isn't necessarily a criticism of the book in isolation, but of the design language used by the entire Tifo organisation). It is incompatible to be read on Kindle devices and it can be read on the Kindle app but you cant zoom in to actually read it, only able to be comfortably read on Kindle for PC. The bad thing for me, was that I purchased the kindle version which is useless as the book is not able to read on a kindle, book is putting it lightly, its more like a PDF.
