Adam Elder’s New Kids in the World Cup (Nebraska, 2022) is officially out today! Be sure to mark your calendars for some upcoming events celebrating this new book.

New Kids in the World Cup is the origin story of modern American soccer in a time when power ballads were inescapable and mainstream America was discovering hip-hop. It’s the true adventure of America’s most important soccer team, which made possible everything that’s come since—including America finally falling in love with soccer.
