If a guide book was a riot, then this is it. The Glorious World Cup is a smash and grab read with propellant laughs, and wicked satire. Expect some crunching tackles on the establishment with profiles on hooligans, World Cup villains and serious national grudges. Stuffed with country and player profiles, bags of footie history, and all you need to know about South Africa.
Shooting on target are contributors Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting, best-selling author Po Bronson, and the world's best soccer writer, Simon Kuper. This is the guide for the soccer masses. Score one.
