An Outline for a Book
An excellent overview, neither too simple nor too technical The rest of the book focuses on various other aspects of the game, mostly set pieces.Several different options are given, and easy to read diagrams are provided for each of them.The authors also talk briefly about the style of play of different regions of the world (South America, Europe, Africa), and make some observations about each, but this section is really very limited, as the discussion mentions only those general characteristics of each (For example, the South American style is generally characterized by players who are highly skilled with the ball, and teams who try to score as a result of possessing the ball.) and does not really compare and contrast their merits or deficits to any real extent. Also briefly mentioned are topics such as player psychology, coaching philosophy and methods, and other game situations like penalty kicks.These topics are also relatively limited in scope, although the information they provide is worthwhile. Overall this is a very good book on tactics, one that is certainly worth reading for the systems of play portion, but the other sections, while they are adequate, fail to live up to that measure of quality.An additional critique of the book is that the Danish style of long ball direct play does tend to predominate some of the discussion in each area.Notwithstanding these elements, however, I do recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning more about tactics and systems of play.

Editorial Review Product Description Sir Bobby Charlton is widely acknowledged as the greatest player ever to wear an England shirt. He won a record number of caps and scored a record number of goals. Here, in the second volume of his bestselling autobiography, Sir Bobby talks in detail about his phenomenal career with England. During the 22 years he played for his country, he was involved in some of the greatest England games of all time, the 9-3 thrashing of Scotland, the 1962 and 1970 World Cup games against the Brazilians, the classic 1970 World Cup quarter-final against West Germany and, of course, the triumph of the 1966 World Cup. Here, for the very first time, Sir Bobby talks openly about his international career and his views on the game. From breaking into the squad at 21, to the highs of '66 and the lows of '70, his story encompasses drama, passion, goals, controversies, classic matches, world-class players, and moments of soccer genius. A truly inspirational story from a true sports legend. |

Editorial Review Product Description At Liverpool in the early 1970s Kevin Keegan won three First Division titles, two EUFA Cups, two FA Cups, and the European Cup. At Hamburg he was crowned Footballer of the Year two years running, won the Bundeslinga title in 1978–79 and reached the European Cup Final. At Southampton he was voted PFA Player of the Year and was awarded an OBE for his services to Association Football. In his debut season with Newcastle United he helped the club to promotion and he captained the England team for six years from 1976–1982. As a manager his career has been no less newsworthy, although not always for the right reasons. Five heady and successful years at Newcastle from 1992–1997 were followed by more controversial spells with Fulham, England, and Manchester City. In 2005, Keegan announced his retirement. Then, in 2008, he made headlines by returning to Newcastle United, the scene of his greatest triumphs—an announcement which was greeted ecstatically by Newcastle supporters—and no less sensationally resigned in acrimonious circumstances only nine months later. A revered sports journalist with unparalleled access to insider exclusives, Ian Ridley is the perfect man for the task of understanding what it is that makes Kevin Keegan tick. Training his brilliantly incisive and penetrating gaze on Keegan, Ridley offers an unprecedented insight into the mind of this most enigmatic of men. |

Editorial Review Product Description What does Graham Poll, England’s highest profile referee of the last two decades, make of some of the biggest rows in soccer through the years, how and why key decisions were made, and how would different outcomes have radically reshaped soccer history? What was the real reason for the linesman giving Geoff Hurst’s "goal" in 1966 at Wembley? In the infamous Maradona "Hand of God" game, why did the behavior of certain England players influence the decision of the referee? How does Kim Milton Nielson, the official who red-carded David Beckham against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, view the decision now? And why would Luis Garcia’s goal that knocked Chelsea out of the Champions League not be given today? Framed with other fascinating facts, personality profiles, and colorful anecdotes, these stories and more—including the big news from season 2008/09—provide a rich seam of material for Graham Poll. |
