In this volume, Hemon revists memories of his first World Cup in 1974, for which his homeland - Yugoslavia - qualified in dramatic fashion. He takes us through the World Cups of the eighties, nineties and noughties, up to the brink of 2014: the first time Bosnia and Herzegovina had qualified in the country's history.
Here too are stories of heated games played in childhood, as Hemon recounts his youth on Sarajevo's gravel courtyards, the frozen pick-up games of his adulthood in Chicago, and the (slightly less intense) soccer practices of his daughter, replete with cones and shin guards.
As Hemon notes, 'an average life seldom contains more than twenty World Cups - our games are tragically numbered'. In The Matters of Life, Death, and More, he pays due attention to the joy, skill, agony, triumph and the beauty of everything that football is. And football is, of course, everything.
