The book looks at an interesting topic but the author's lack of storytelling skills makes the entire book read like a huge almost never-ending Wikipedia article. Also a HUGE chunk of the book is devoted towards US national soccer team which hardly had any impact in world cup history. The author spends 4 pages talking about 1 group level match US national team had while devoting another 4 pages to a combination of 4 quarter final matches, 2 semi final matches and 1 final match.
I'm giving this 2.5/5 stars because I'm feeling generous.
