In 1930 the first soccer World Cup began in Uruguay with little fanfare. With world economies in the grip of the Great Depression, only thirteen teams competed. In 2018 teams from thirty-two nations will do battle in the World Cup tournament, and it promises to be the biggest event in sports history. Author Matt Doeden skillfully describes the history of the World Cup while packing the pages full of action and intriguing game details. With descriptions of some of soccer's greatest players, biggest matches, and wildest moments, this book is sure to please sports fans. Grab your cleats and take a fascinating journey onto the world's biggest sports stage.

Some of my favorite few hours in Budapest were spent watching the South Korea vs. Mexico game in Liberty Park yesterday. It was a beautiful day and there was beer and food trucks (OMG lángos!) and an overall cheerful vibe.
