5 comments about Captain for Life: And Other Temporary Assignments.

1. A fresh look into the purposeful misleading and lies of Steve Sampson and his mishandling of the US Men's National Team at France '98. For me, the background was good, but the reading on the France '98 team is essential to anybody who cares about US Soccer. John Harkes is owed an apology by Steve Sampson and the powers that be at US Soccer for the way he was treated after giving it all up for the glory of the game in the USA. Sampson may dispute the facts put down by Harkes, but the book got published, Harkes never got sued, Harkes is still playing and Sampson is coaching kids soccer (right where he belongs.) Attitude? Dang right. Too many people, like John Harkes, Marcelo Balboa, Alexi Lalas et.al. poured their lives in elevating the game to an unheard of level in the states, only to be lied to, whispered about, and then ultimately begged by the boss, himself, Judas Sampson, to "take it easy on him, he's only a human being." Calling himself a human being is a slap in the face to the genus as a whole.



2. "Captain for Life" is the greatest book ever to be publisheds. It gives the most interesting, deep insight of one of the greatest Americans to ever play the game of soccer. Everywhere John Harkes goes, the most fanatics from the best soccer countries adores and loves the Harskey. "Captain for Life" is definitely the top autiobiography out right now. Once you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down. Take my advice. This is coming from a person that doesn't read often.

4. John Harkes - a great player, a great guy and now a great author. John made a great impact upon the british game, and is remembered with great affection among Sheffield Wednesday fans for he reminds us of the great times we had whilst John was with us. The book is a great insight into John's career, from his teenage days in Kearny to his time in England and as a founder player of the relatively recent MLS league. I found it an enthralling read and was loathed to put it down!! I particularly enjoyed reading John's explanation for his leaving the Owls, as we all felt John Had been unfairly treated. If you enjoy soccer, you'll love this book. It highlights the highs and low's of John's career, and provides personal insights into John Harkes the man. John you're gone (from England) but not forgotten.



5. This is a good book. Altough at times it is misleading when John is speaking of his trials and tribulations of his soccer career. I'm not a person that reads a lot of books but this one I enjoyed. But this book is not for everyone. To really enjoy and understand this book you will have had to played soccer at a high level, not at the National Team level but for a club team or and ODP team. If you are the captain of your team you should read this book.This book is good for all ages of kids and i would reccomend this book to young players with dreams of making it in the MLS or for a club team in Europe. This is a good book.

1. Please do not waste your money on this trash. The author's research seems to consist of reviewing and extensively quoting from a tabloid rag that no true Liverpool fan would touch. Talk about a know-nothing glory hunter -- the kid who wrote this must be laughing all the way to the bank --shocked this got published.
