FIVE STAR RATING
David Goldblatt wrote The Soccer Book - a complete guide to the sport we all love.
Whether you want to bend it like Beckham or dribble like Ronaldinho, The Soccer Book is the ultimate visual guide-revised and updated with the results of the World Cup 2010-to soccer skills, rules, tactics, and coaching, illustrating every aspect of every variant of the sport more clearly, and in more detail, than any other book has done before.
The Soccer Book captures the excitement, the passion and the glory of the world's greatest sport.
Filled with everything you need to know about the soccer clubs, the rituals and the soccer stats, this book is easy to read and navigate.
Looking for information on attacking strategies, the National Team stats for an obscure or popular country or news on the Braga Stadium? With sections on How the Game is Played, Famous Venues, World Competitions, and Individual Skills, the Soccer Book is a great addition to every soccer lovers' library.
According to the book's introduction, there are "approximately 250 million people who play the game of soccer regularly. If players made up a nation, it would be the fourth most populated on earth...." This book successfully captures the "passion aroused by twenty-two men chasing a ball."
In a age of iPads, xBox, constantly ringing cell phone and short attention spans, this book's quick fun fact and insider tips holds the attention of 10 year olds as well as 50 year olds!
