read the book soccer and its greatest players. The author of the book is Sherman Hollar. This book was very good it is all about soccer. The players the rules and how changed the game. The book talks about some of the best players young or old in soccer in the world.
The book tells about 22 players old or new old what they did to soccer. First they shoe the legions of soccer and all the awards they got. Then they did the current star that has made the game by breaking the legions record. Now I’m goanna name some of the best current players Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, kaka, Thierry Henry, David Bechham. Now some of the legions Mia Hamm, Pele, those are some of the legions.
I thought this book is very good if you like soccer. The book also talks about the rules and the history. My favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo his best award probably is Fifa world player of the year.

This book told me all about the great players of today and of the past. It explains some of the rules for the game, a few of the leagues, and some of the best players to play the game of soccer. My favorite part in this book was reading about one of my favorite players Lionel Messi. Messi is a striker on Barcalona one of the best teams in the world. Standing at a mere 5'5, Messi is known for his scoring ability. Messi is still setting records and scoring goals today. Another player I enjoyed reading about was Mia Hamm who is a player on the USA Women's National Team. Mia scored the game winning goal in penalty kicks in the 1999 World Cup.
