Eyewitness: Soccer, by Hugh Hornby

The beautiful game brings together nations and/or regions.  Futbool is a game too beautiful for words but Eyewitness Soccer does it justice.  The text was organized in clear sections that flowed.  In-depth text features showed how soccer advanced from ragtag teams of young people in alleys to full fledged clubs and international teams with thousands behind them.  Many interesting tidbits were shown, be it through pictures or quick sentences.

Soccer/futbool is truly a game every country can play.  Except for Antarctica.  Maybe they can start an Elite Arctic team and Arctic squad.

I liked this book because there were so many fun facts.

Two other books I would recommend are: Kicks (series) by Alex Morgan AND Abby Wambach
