Meh. Not really anything I would buy again.
Not really any helpful soccer info in this book. I bought it for my niece for Christmas, but after going thru it before wrapping I decided to just donate it to the library. It was too much of a dud to gift to her. I was looking for soccer info that would help her develop her understanding of the game. This wasn’t it.
Heather –
Excellent value. My grandson applies his mathematical knowledge to most things and, as he is a football fan, this book is the perfect gift.
