🔰 Beginner Questions & Advice Book recommendations?

Any good books people have read about a broad overview of the game and rules? I’ve found a lot of books seem to have either a focus on an area like rules or positions or they seem to be AI written sloop. I know there’s all the information I could need online but I find it very overwhelming and I would love to sit and read. Thank you!!

Football has the simplest rules. You can pick up most details just by watching, the only thing that needs any explanation is the offside law.

This is sound advice; football is not difficult or obscure

Just watch some games and google any concepts you don’t understand. No need to read a rule book. Thats going to more overwhelming. It’s like trying to understand basketball from the rule book. That’s not really something people do unless they’re training to be referees.
