New Book Release: European Soccer Leagues 2019-20

8/12/2019

 
If you ask me, I'd simply ask the question: Who would’ve thought I’d be writing a book about the European Soccer Leagues? I for one didn’t. I guess when I say “who would’ve thought” I’m referring to a small group of people (who am I kidding, a giant throng) that got used to seeing me pass out in a party after destroying someone in a drinking contest. (Something like that, anyway; very Frank the Tank once upon a time.) Who would’ve thought? Here’s the thing: This is your chance to get this great book, and I mean great book. I couldn’t be prouder of it. You’ll see the sources to be that of The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Time, CNN, FOX, and so on. It was a great deal of work that went into it, and, in essence, a great deal of valuable information emerged.
 
I just referred to my book as great. That’s a major faux pas if you ask me. Allow me to explain. Let me steal a page from Mark Levin’s book, figuratively speaking. Mark Levin, a right-wing radio and TV host, as well as a number one bestselling author, tells people to buy his book because, according to him, it’s for their own good. Essentially, he’s “doing everyone a favor.” Is my book doing that? Am I so bold as to claim such a thing? Yes and yes.
 
Let's transition to Danielle Steele. It'll make sense in a second. Or it won't. Sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out. We'll see. How on earth has she sold so many books? Who buys them? I’ve never met that person. Ever. I want to, but I haven’t. I have so many questions. Will we sell as many books as Danielle Steele? (She sells a lot of books.) We’ll see. Probably not. But maybe. She is, after all, Danielle Steele. Maybe I should’ve worked in a love affair between Messi and the Bayern Munich training staff (of women) juxtaposed with an intriguing crime mystery stirred up in the Manchester United press box…a crime involving a missing laptop that has top secret information which was planned by John Stevenson III, a charming, well-dressed absent-minded Harvard graduate with a degree in Law, and a minor in Yoga. Maybe next time, we’ll see.
 
This book, this great book, will take you through every angle of the coveted, amazing, illustrious, legendary leagues of Europe—the finest million-dollar leagues in the world. I hope you enjoy it. Comments regarding my opinions on certain players can be thrown my way on Facebook @ShaneStayAuthor and Twitter @shanestay. I enjoy hearing counter-opinions and people that agree with me. Either way, it’s a person talking—and that’s a good thing. That’s what books should do—educate, entertain and provoke thought. Enjoy it. These are the best teams in the world (Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan), and the finest players (Messi, Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Salah).
 
This book will literally change the way you view the great European Leagues. It will give you valuable fantasy league information. It provides historical insight for teams, cities and stadiums. Also, my favorite, it provides predictions. So do yourself a favor: Get a copy. We’re selling plenty. You know what I spend my money on? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Though, if I buy something, it will more often than not be a box of Figi water. There, you happy? You happy to hear about my exciting life? Figi water and visits with a therapist. Someday on the latter. We’ll see. What do I actually do? Nothing. A young lady suggested the idea of a cruise. I was like ‘Why would I wanna do that?’ She’s gone. Doesn’t matter. I’ve got online chess. That’s right. You know what I do instead of cruises with beautiful women? I play board games that are over 2,000 years old.
 
By the way, my next book, coming out soon, will include up-to-date information about most of these national teams (we’ll see; they haven’t all qualified yet for the 2020 UEFA Euro):
 
France
England
Portugal
Germany
Netherlands
Belgium
Italy
Spain
Switzerland
Denmark
Russia
Iceland
Ukraine
Slovakia
Wales
Croatia
Hungary
Sweden
Poland
Slovenia
Israel
Austria
Turkey
Greece
 
We’ll see who makes it, who doesn’t. The chase is on for European greatness, to capture the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup. Qualifiers are currently underway. There’s a lot of excitement around the corner. Stay tuned.
 
In the meantime, the world’s greatest leagues are about to get underway. It should be a phenomenal 2019-20 European season.
 
For now, I’m signing off and watching Counting Cars. Danny’s got his eye on a real beaut.
