Read an excerpt from THE ESPN WORLD CUP COMPANION
Forget swine flu. The real fever that’s heating up the globe is World Cup Fever, a magical time when global politics and international rivalries are restaged to a grassy pitch where twenty-two men kick a ball in pursuit of a small gold statue.
The perfect book to have at your side at this time is, of course, The ESPN World Cup Companion by David Hirshey and Roger Bennett, a celebration of every tournament since 1930. Read an excerpt from the book here.
