All You Need To Know (And More) About The 2018 World Cup: Facts, Fun and Football

undefined

Russia next Summer. The World Cup comes ever closer. The draw has been made, the fixtures settled and the qualifiers confirmed. Who can win? Will it be the German machine, ticking like a stylish and ever-reliable clock? Can the Brazilians produce their magic once again? What about the multi-talented Belgians, with their team of a lifetime? France, Spain, Argentina...perhaps even England can overturn their usual disappointing tournament form and spring a shock. How about the minnows? Can Australia get out of the group stage? What about the Saudi Arabians, about whom we know so little? And Russia themselves, home nation, in Pot One with the highest but the lowest ranked side in the tournament. This book will offer the reader in into all of the above and much, much more. With an in depth review of every team taking part, an analysis of every World Cup right back to the first, nearly 90 years ago in Uruguay, a detailed outline of the tournament to come, it is essential reading for every football fan from seven to a hundred and seven. Written in a chirpy and cheerful way, full of anecdotes and stories of the strange, mysterious and down right inexplicable as well as the facts we want to know, this book is a must for Christmas for those wanting to get ahead on everything to do with the World Cup. It is a perfect gift at any time, and gives the kind of easy to read, entertaining ins that football fans want. No getting bogged down, like a ball on wet Tuesday at Stoke (sorry Britannia groundsman), this book tells it as it is, there's no shirking from the allegations of corruption that have followed the Beautiful Game for so long. It's also a perfect remedy for those dreading the months ahead, as the book tells you everything that's going to happen, who's going to win and who will be disappointed, so there's no need to watch the tournament itself! If you want to know the best South Korean footballer of all time, find out about why Nobby Stiles lost the cup in '66, learn about the one armed striker who went on to glory and discover the reason for the author being so mad with his sister, then read 'All You Need To Know (And More) About The 2018 World Cup, on Kindle or in Paperback. Jules Rimet would turn in his grave, to get more comfortable when reading his copy.
