Uncover everything you never knew about the beautiful game in this full color, illustrated soccer compendium--from the science of a perfect backspin to soccer heroes who changed the sport forever.
Colorful illustrations, fun infographics, and supercool trivia reveal all about the most popular sport in the world. Begin with the game's startling origins or turn to any short chapter and dive in! You'll discover historic firsts, trailblazing athletes, and the weirdest soccer records. Read unforgettable stories about players who pushed the boundaries of the game--sometimes by bending the rules--and learn why soccer had to become more welcoming before it could truly bring people together. Packed with charts, timelines, and further reading, Soccerology is a must-have that's equally fascinating for soccer newbies and diehard fans.
Written by former sports broadcaster and award-winning children's book author and illustrator Kevin Sylvester, Soccerology is a book about the Beautiful Game like nothing else!
