Mundial

If you write a book called Soccernomics: Why England Loses, Why Germany, and Brazil Win, and Why the U.S., Japan, Australia--And Even Iraq--Are Destined to become the Kings of the World's Most Popular Sport, you are probably due a hearing on a day when England are already out, and at the end of which Brazil or Germany will be in the final.

Futebol: The Brazilian Way of Life - Updated Edition and One Night in Turin: The Inside Story of a World Cup that Changed our Footballing Nation Forever are two other  football books I have read in the last few breathless weeks. Both are recommended.
