4.0 out of 5 stars
Great,
This review is from: Soccer Fundamentals (Paperback)
The book teaches great Basic skills, as a first year soccer player I learned a lot. But it's old, all the pictures are B/W, and filled with long-haired British boys from the 70th. It is a small and easy book, but took me a long time to learn--you need to practice on fields a lot. If you are like me who know nothing about soccer but want to be the next-superstar ethlet, this is a good starting point.
