Book Synopsis The (Sometimes, Usually) Beautiful Game by : S L Perrin
Download or read book The (Sometimes, Usually) Beautiful Game written by S L Perrin and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Cup, the greatest and most popular sporting event in history. What started as a small amateur tournament in 1930, grew to a gargantuan professional one that is now watched by billions globally. This book documents every World Cup game ever played at every tournament. Yes, that does include the Women's World Cup. Every single game covered, each with its own mini-commentary (some games get big mini-commentaries), from 1930 to 2023. Not only does this book cover every single World Cup game played, but it is also crammed with stats, trivia and a ton of stories. Major and minor incidents looked at, with hundreds upon hundreds of amazing World Cup facts along the way. Such as the World Cup qualifying match that sparked an actual war. Which World Cup had a group stage with only two teams in a group and why? What legendary and Oscar-winning film composer wrote a World Cup song? Unbelievable stories of mass brawls breaking out between teams in the dressing rooms and neo-Nazi pitch invasions. And funny yarns such as the time Jimmy Greaves caught a dog invader mid-match. All while being peppered with my usual snarky humour and witty observations. Stories of proven bribery, corruption, death threats and even murder. World Cup champions that really didn't deserve to win and hosts that didn't even get the winning votes to host. Controversies galore as I look at some of the messier aspects of the World Cup and FIFA, even before Sepp Blatter and Qatar (also including Sepp Blatter and Qatar). My opinions on some amazing goals, like Maradona's one from the England vs Argentina match during Mexico '86, to cheap and cheating goals, like Maradona's one from the England vs Argentina match during Mexico '86. Perhaps the most complete and comprehensive book ever written about the World Cup and certainly one with a good sense of humour and not just stats and information... though there still will be several ton-loads of stats and information. With more than 333,000 words. Just for perspective, Tolstoy's War & Peace had 500,000 words and that was utter s**t, no World Cup in it at all.

Book Synopsis Mammoth Book Of The World Cup by : Nick Holt
Download or read book Mammoth Book Of The World Cup written by Nick Holt and published by Robinson. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An all-encompassing, chronological guide to football's World Cup, one of the world's few truly international events, in good time for the June 2018 kick-off in Russia. From its beginnings in 1930 to the modern all-singing, all-dancing self-styled 'greatest show on Earth', every tournament is covered with features on major stars and great games, as well as stories about some less celebrated names and quirky stats and intriguing essays. Holt's focus is very much on what takes place on the field, rather than how football is a mirror for economic corruption, or how a nation's style of play represents a profound statement about its people, or how a passion for football can lift underpaid, socially marginalised people out of poverty. From the best World Cups, in 1958 and 1970, to the worst, in 1962 and 2010, he looks behind the facts and the technical observations to the stories: the mysterious sins of omission; critical injuries to key players; and coaching U-turns. He explains how England's World Cup achievements under Sven-Göran Eriksson, far from being a national disgrace, were actually quite impressive, and looks at why Alf Ramsey didn't take Bobby Charlton off in 1970, but this is no parochial, jingoistic account. The book also asks why Brazil did not contribute in 1966, despite having won the previous two tournaments and going on to win the next one? Why the greatest players of their day did not always shine at the World Cup - George Best and Alfredo Di Stefano, for example, never even made it to the Finals. Why did Johann Cruyff not go to the 1978 World Cup? And why did one of Germany's greatest players never play in the World Cup? There are lots of tables, some filled with obvious, but necessary information, but others with more quirky observations. Alongside accounts of epic games, there are also brief biographies of all the great heroes of the World Cup.

These tables are accompanied by exhaustive summaries, round by round, of all the matches, their drama and their goals, as well as by league tables of how every group of matches finished up. So, for any World Cup watcher, whether they want to know which two-dozen players have been awarded the Golden Boot over the history of the tournament, or simply study the players of the four first-time African nations in the World Cup in 2006, this is the book. With England qualifying for 2010, the book is once again assured of a large market. Terry Crouch has now published three editions of this popular World Cup guide. He lives in Garstang, Lancashire.
