Great Introduction to Soccer (Football) For New Fans!!,
By
This review is from: The Soccer Book: The Sport, the Teams, the Tactics, the Cups (Hardcover)
With the World Cup coming in 2010, I, like many people (mostly Americans, I imagine), was looking for a book that was a well-written overview of soccer (football), something that covered not only how the sport is played, but also its history, tradition, and championships. I found that book! Goldblatt, author of "The Ball is Round", offers up a fantastic introduction to the game for new fans like me. Based on the depth of information offered, I imagine that even veteran fans of the sport will find something to like here.

This book was recommended to my husband by my daughter's soccer coach. It is an excellent book and the price I got it for on here was a steal. I would highly recommend it.
