Synopsis
"In summer 2024, the eyes of football fans worldwide will turn to Germany as it hosts the European Championship. For many, the country seems familiar territory: a footballing behemoth with clubs as famous as its beer and its cars. But, if you look closer, the beautiful game can offer a deeper understanding of Europe's powerhouse. Played in Germany takes us on a journey through modern Germany's football heartlands in search of the issues that define it. Through the stadiums, songs and simmering resentments of football, it sheds light on a nation so diverse and divided that the only thing that really unites it is the game itself."--Amazon.
