World Cup Soccer: Germany 2006 | Michael Lewis

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

The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field | Scott Riley

pick

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐5 ⭐ This is an amazing story of boys who wanted a soccer field and built one on the ocean. They didn‘t let anyone stop them and eventually became champions in the sport they loved so much. This true story is well told and the information in the back expands on the story rather than retell it. It is well done and a great read at any age.

Kids at my school love nonfiction like this. A true story about a group of boys who build their own floating soccer field and start their own football club. It's an opportunity to learn about the popular sport, places in Thailand and the language as well as perseverance. #everybodyboooks #weneeddiversebooks

Highly recommend this true story of resourceful Thai boys who, having no soccer pitch in their floating village, build their own floating soccer field! Picture book with vivid illustrations & info in the back about the real boys. #nonfiction #kidlit #Asianprotagonist #5stars #problemsolving

El Diego: The Autobiography of the World's Greatest Footballer | Diego Maradona

#WanderingJune #Dontcryformeargentina
Like many today, I realized I haven‘t read any Argentina-set books!
So #notbookrelated , I cannot wait to see this documentary, but I have to wait until September to see it here in the US.
Asif Kapadia is such a fantastic documentary film maker. I loved both ‘Senna‘ and ‘Amy‘ so much, & Maradona should be a fascinating subject.
Asif was interviewed on my favorite movie podcast this week (link in the comments)

#DontCryForMeArgentina #WanderingJune
Peter Shilton needs to get over the whole Hand Of God thing. The real question should be how did Maradona beat him to that goal when he's 2 feet shorter than him.

Why Soccer Matters: A Look at More Than Sixty Years of International Soccer | Brian Winter, Pel�

⚽️ Not book related - but I‘m so excited that I had to share. We just found out tonight that my younger son (14 yo), Keegan, made the 2005 Ohio South Youth Soccer Olympic Development Team (OSYSA ODP). He also made the team 2 years ago, but not last year ☹️. The team will compete against other USYSA Region 2 teams at the end of the month. #proud 👍🏻🎈🎉😄⚽️
