The development of the US differs from the European way by the lack of strong labour movement and a socialist or social democratic party. „The other US exceptionalism" is that until very recently soccer was not a popular game there, while it is the number one sport in Europe. The author displays the relationship between the two.

Through football, like the sea through a drop of water, the fundamental questions of society can be analysed. One reason is that football is a game that moves large masses and it is basically a democratic game. This sport is, however, an imprint of the distortions and degenerations of the transition society and its political system.
