The World Cup is the pinnacle of events in the soccer world, and readers can explore the best and greatest moments in World Cup history. Soccer fans get a crash course in the World Cup's most famous moments, including game-winning goals, spectacular saves, and amazing upsets. Get lost in the moment and relive some of the most defining moments to cross a pitch!
"This series explores the history and impact of the World Cup over several volumes. All titles are organized chronologically. Three of the books focus on dramatic matches, standout players, and defining moments, placing readers directly in the action and making for an engaging read. World Cup Close-Up examines the planning, organization, and business side of the tournament, which may be less engaging for some readers. The writing is energetic, even in longer paragraph form. Large photographs, text boxes, and fast facts provide visual breaks for readers who benefit from shorter reading chunks. Each book includes a table of contents, a glossary, a list of additional resources, and an index. VERDICT Women's World Cup, Greatest Moments, and World Cup Heroes are highly recommended for libraries serving soccer fans, while World Cup Close-Up is an optional purchase."
