Der Fußball, heißt es, schreibt die unglaublichsten Geschichten. Höchste Zeit also für eine unglaublich gute Geschichte des Fußballs. Michael Cox erzählt sie ab dem Jahr 1992, als die Änderung der Rückpassregel und die Einführung der Champions League den Sport veränderten und einen weiteren Professionalisierungsschub auslösten. Cox zeichnet nach, wie die großen europäischen Fußballländer mit ihren Clubs und Nationalmannschaften jeweils eine Zeit lang dominierten, bis die Konkurrenz ihren Erfolgscode knackte und die Evolution weiter vorantrieb. José Mourinhos abgezockte Abwehrmaschinen, Pep Guardiolas Kurzpass-Tiki-Taka, das Gegenpressing und Umschaltspiel von Jürgen Klopp - Cox porträtiert die prägenden Figuren dieser knapp drei Jahrzehnte und erklärt ihre taktischen Neuerungen. Und er erinnert an legendäre Spiele, etwa an den Moment, als der portugiesische Nationaltorwart Ricardo im EM-Viertelfinale 2004 plötzlich seine Handschuhe auszog, den letzten Elfmeter der Engländer hielt und den entscheidenden selbst verwandelte.
