5.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for the global game, July 31, 2007

By	Vincent Moore (Chicago, IL, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Almanack of World Football 2007: The Definitive Guide Featuring All the Facts and Figures from the FIFA World Cup (Paperback)

As someone who follows football (soccer) on every continent, this has been the most complete source of information for world football to date. It is packed with statistics, national team peformances, national leagues for every FIFA member and club/cup competitions from every continent. As someone who lived in the Virgin Islands for three years, I was surprised to see the facts for the local leagues, including some of the association officials I knew personally. It was the first time I ever saw any information on the Virgin Islands' leagues. The only things I didn't like about the book were the font (which is really small) and the fact that the whole book is in black and white. I understand both drawbacks. The small font is a space saver and to produce a book with this much information in color would make it cost much more than the $30 I paid. Overall, I think this is a solid book for the serious football fan.
