โฆ Synopsis
Every four years in June, the planet grinds to a halt to witness the pursuit of one of sport's greatest prizes: the FIFA World Cup. With a history populated by legends, scandal and diplomatic incidents, the World Cup has seen more than its fair share of triumph, heartbreak and intrigue โ not to mention dictators, temper tantrums and the tears of fully-grown men...
Join author Paul Hansford on a journey into the (sometimes dark) heart of The World Cup, where the biggest names in football โ Pelรฉ, Maradona, Moore, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Ronaldo โ forged their legends, and where the weird and wonderful side of the sport โ from shoeless strikers and stolen trophies to psychic Dutchmen and doggy disruptions โ captures the world's imagination...
