Synopsis "This Is Football: The Beautiful Game"

A celebration of the timeless beauty of soccer--its greatest and most stylish players, from past heroes to today's stars, along with its hallowed grounds. Football, or soccer as we know it in the US, has been around for more than two hundred years and in some ways remains largely unchanged. It is this timelessness that is celebrated in This Is Football. Lavishly illustrated with striking images of on-field action as well as candid dressing-room moments taken by some of the most respected photographers in sport, the book serves as both a primer and nostalgic love letter showcasing the beauty of the game. Readers will venture on a journey to South America where football became beautiful in the 1960s and to Spain where tiki-taka revolutionized the game in the 1980s. From Denis Bergkamp's sublime control and finish against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup to Sergio Aguero's last-minute strike of the 2010/2011 season--winning Manchester City their first premier league title, This Is Football captures many of the game's most extraordinary events and players. Organized by player position, each chapter highlights some of the biggest names to have graced the pitch, from Pelé to David Beckham and Mia Hamm to Marta as well as historic moments they helped create. Featuring extraordinary goals, inspired midfield play, heroic defending, and eye-catchingly colorful goalkeeping, this book illustrates why soccer is the most popular sport in the world and why it is truly loved by so many.
