About the Book -- World Cup 2010: The Indispensable Guide to Soccer and Geopolitics
In this sharp, fun, and sassy guide, Stark & Stark lay it all out for both the casual and impassioned fan – the spectacle, the tradition, and the teams. Learn why Spain never wins, Brazil often does, and what the US and Mexico really need to do to win the Cup. Discover, too, what the first World Cup in Africa will mean – from Mandela to mythical spirits. Each team profile features a squad breakdown, players to watch, predictions, and an analysis of team tactics, tradition, coaching techniques, and even the national anthems that will be played before each match.

TO ORDER THE BOOK:
This is an interesting book but not very serious.
ReplyDeletePOSITIVES: Interesting approach, funny, bold, good depth.
NEGATIVES: Biased toward the USA, although it really tries hard not to. Lacks the needed statistics, sometimes too bold in its judement of US rivals, especially England. Its also full of grammar mistakes.
2 and half out of 5.
