Football stands proudly as the only sport that unites Europe, no less the world. We see the various conditions and backdrops, from snowy, mountainous Switzerland and the dirt pitches bordering power plants in Portugal to the blindingly sunny coast of France, where thousands of lower leagues kick the ball around in the pitch everyday. In this way, we are provided with a glimpse into the daily life in each region. From Romanian villages to Bradford, England, van der Meer has captured the most ordinary, in council estates, amid rolling green hills or the middle of nowhere. 
 
The back pages of the book provide the background information for each photo taken including the date the match was played, the location, the score and the league/cup that the game was being played in.
