Why Football?
By Echez Udokwu & Michael Dryden
We are Michael and Echez, two football fans eager to learn more about the game and share what we learn with likeminded fans. Our aim is to explore interesting football topics and unlock the context. Why did Red Bull enter football? How did tiny Croatia produce a team worthy of reaching a World Cup final? Discover this and more as we dissect the game and take a nostalgic look back at teams of old.
