About
Top soccer stars attract fame and admiration from around the world. And these heroes all come together at the World Cup! Readers examine what makes a top player, and what abilities, characteristics, and qualities they have that truly make them stand out as heroes of the sport. Is it their leadership and teamwork that make them heroic? Or is it their skills on the pitch? Some players go above and beyond to make themselves stand out both on and off the field.

Reviews
"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."
