书籍简介

足球的爆发：足球如何在美国蓬勃发展

“艾伦·罗森伯格正是上世纪90年代足球所需要的。他就像任何一位真正的远见卓识者，能够洞察先机，预见未来，看到别人看不到的东西。”——阿莱克西·拉拉斯（摘自本书序言）

本书由业内人士、美国职业足球大联盟创始人艾伦·罗森伯格撰写，以旋风般的视角，讲述了足球在美国来之不易的蓬勃发展历程。

近年来，一个惊人的事实浮出水面：足球不再是美国体育项目之一。我们是如何走到这一步的？我们是如何从多个职业足球联赛举步维艰，到美国职业足球大联盟用实力证明其地位稳固的？我们又是如何从几乎没有女子国家队，发展到如今女子足球的黄金时代，拥有引人入胜的比赛风格、众多巨星和无数令人难忘的瞬间？

这需要极大的信念、力量、毅力，以及以大商业视角看待这项运动的意愿。

在1984年至1999年美国足球发展史上重要的十五年间，幕后关键人物是艾伦·罗森伯格：他曾担任1984年奥运会足球专员、1994年男足世界杯主席、1990年至1998年美国足协主席、美国职业足球大联盟创始人，以及1999年女足世界杯主席。

罗森伯格在这部著作中讲述了美国足球如何从蛮荒的过去一跃成为国际强队，并分享了鲜为人知的幕后故事，从激进的变革到荒诞的情节，无所不包。

随着美国足球迷们为 2026 年本土举办的 FIFA 世界杯做好准备，《大反弹》记录了这项快速发展的运动奠定基础的时代。

Summary

The Big Bounce: How Soccer Exploded in America

“Alan Rothenberg was just what soccer needed in the 1990s. Like any true visionary, he had the ability to look around corners and peer into the future and see things that others didn’t.” - Alexi Lalas, from his foreword

A whirlwind, insider account of soccer’s hard-won growth in the United Statesas told by industry veteran and Major League Soccer founder Alan Rothenberg

Recent years have brought home a startling truth: soccer is no longer an also-ran among top U.S. sports. How did we get here? How did we go from having multiple professional soccer leagues flounder to having Major League Soccer prove to its doubters that it’s here to stay? How did we evolve from barely having a Women’s National Team to a golden era of women’s soccer with a captivating style of play, great stars, and unforgettable moments?

It took great belief as well as power, tenacity, and and a willingness to approach the sport through the lens of big business.

In the crucial fifteen years when US soccer made its most important moves-from 1984 to 1999-the pivotal figure behind the scenes was Alan Rothenberg: soccer commissioner for the 1984 Olympics, chairman of the men’s World Cup in 1994, president of U.S. Soccer from 1990 to 1998, founder of Major League Soccer, and chairman of the 1999 Women’s World Cup.

Rothenberg tells his story for the first time in this definitive account of the Big Bounce that propelled American soccer out of its Wild West past and into the international elite ranks, sharing little-known details of what really happened and why, from the radical to the farcical.

As U.S. soccer fans gear up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on home soil, The Big Bounce chronicles an era of foundational growth for this rapidly growing sport.
