lifestyle magazine, and filled with fun, colourful illustrations,
The Big Book of Football by Mundial covers it all: The basics and
the lingo that will have you talking like a football expert in no
time. History of football, including how we got from playing with a
ball made of feathers to using high-tech footballs, the greatest
teams of all time and the evolution of football boots. The great
players, including Paolo Maldini, Lev Yashin, Joy Fawcett, Franz
Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Michelle Akers, Sir Stanley Matthews and
Marta Vieira da Silva. Legendary managers and how they did it -
learn the favourite killer formations of greats like Rinus Michels
and Sir Alex Ferguson. The big cups, with their histories and
greatest players. The world's most amazing stadiums, including
Wembley, Melbourne Cricket Ground and San Siro. Kits hall of fame,
from the USSR's (now Russia) classic red sweatshirt with 'CCCP'
written across the front to Mexico's green home shirt with Aztec
patterns and the giant face of the Aztec god of death. How to take
the perfect shot like Ji So-yun, take the perfect set piece like
David Beckham, take penalties like Matt Le Tissier, beat the
offside trap like Fernando Torres, do the perfect attacking header
like Didier Drogba and more. Weird and wonderful, from the way we
describe things that happen in the game (a fox in the box) to the
way we celebrate a goal (by pretending to be a robot) or do our
hair (shaving it all off except for a triangle at the front). The
culture and people surrounding the game, from traditional pre-game
food to the referee, commentator and all-important crowd. This
great big book is your essential guide to the wonderful world of
football.
