World Cup Soccer: Germany 2006 | Michael Lewis
8 posts
The essential reference book to have for preparing and watching the 2006 tournament in Germany this Summer. Everything is here, from the historical perspective to line-up for each match. The book has the statistics, the groupings, team and player profiles, the venues and the trivia. A historical perspective since 1930 is given with extensive game and round commentary. One chapter recalls the most memorable games in each tournament. Another chapter is devoted to the best and brightest players. The qualifying rounds of the international soccer competition are summarised, highlighting the pivotal games for each of the 32 qualifying nations. the twelve German venues for the tournament are described, assessing the pros and cons of each site. The centrepiece of the book is an entry for each qualifying team describing the country, previous appearances and history, qualifying games, key players, player pool, probable line-up and a short discussion of how the team will fare in this competition. Many interesting features, anecdotes, and trivia on the participating teams are sprinkled throughout the text.

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v USA 🇺🇸 !!
I do not typically watch sports (besides my kids‘ youth sports) but I‘m super into the #WorldCup currently!
Reading while watching ⚽️

JenReadsAlot Same here! 2y
BarbaraBB Same here! Match was disappointing though, it I mean the outcome 2y
Chelsea.Poole @JenReadsAlot @BarbaraBB I was so impressed with the young USA team. Both played hard—I was on the edge of my seat during most of it! 2y

ElizaMarie So, I feel the same watching sports, however this year... I double-downed and focused more time/energy on the Astros (MLB) and have been watching the World Cup. (I frequently watch Packers football, so that's not changed). 2y
BarbaraBB Yes both teams were very eager! Cool to watch! 2y
kspenmoll Still watching World Cup! Fun family event at my house! 2y
Chelsea.Poole @kspenmoll we had a great time watching Argentina v Mexico yesterday…we are Messi fans here! 2y

Nooooo! The last two American teams were eliminated today. I had so much high hopes for Uruguay. Oh well, now we wait to see which teams will battle in the end.

We're out, guys. Losing against 5-time World Cup Brazil was sad but it was still a fun time watching Mexico get this far. Final game is on 7/15 so we still about 2 more weeks of this craziness.

Totally not book related, but my guys advanced to the Round of 16!!!! And my favorite guy (who honestly I love to stare at) got his 100th cap for Croatia!!! Just wish he‘d get a chance to play for more than a minute.

The photo is obviously from Ćorluka‘s Instagram.

🇭🇷❤️🇭🇷⚽️

Painted my nails for the FIFA World Cup (the other hand has the same flags, just in different order). Hopefully one of my favourite teams will win again this year!
