<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An exploration of the history, amazing moments, and greatest players of the women's and men's soccer World Cup" --<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Get an inside look at the men's and women's soccer World Cup. Explore the phenomenal performances, jaw-dropping goals, and biggest celebrations that have made the World Cup the most popular sports event in the world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Sports' biggest showdowns are detailed in this star-studded series. <strong>Readers will enjoy learning how teams end up in the finals and championship games before reliving triumphant moments</strong>, such as Brandi Chastain's winning penalty kick in the 1999 Women's World Cup. Short bios of top players, including WNBA star Maya Moore and NFL kicker Adam Vinatieri, highlight skill and talent. Fan culture is thoroughly discussed, with the focus on team pride and how sports can unify. There are funny tidbits. For instance, The Stanley Cup Finals discusses how the trophy is brought on a 100-day tour by the winning team's players. They partake in normal but sometimes silly activities with the cup, such as bringing it on a roller coaster. The writing flows easily, and the series uses a simple layout, which keeps readers engaged. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2020 12:00:00 AM)<br>
