The World Cup

by Tyler Omoth

Overview

A forward dribbles upfield and works to get into position to score, but a defending player covers too well. Then the forward fakes, and the defender overreaches. One swift kick and . . . gooooaaaallll! The crowd roars. Soccer's ultimate prize is on the line. Readers will delight in discovering the legendary players, thrilling games, and long history of the World Cup.
