The World Cup And International Football

The World Cup, European Championship, and Copa America are among the greatest sporting events in the world, while football plays a role in the Olympic Games. This is the first book to outline the history of all the major international football tournaments, and their place in the development of the game. Stretching from the first international match in 1872, to the eve of the Euro 2016 finals, a combination of narrative, statistics, and photographs tell the story of the Beautiful Game. This book is a successor to The World Cup, which was published in 1990, and widely acclaimed. Andrew Godsell is the author of several other books, including Europe United: A History of the European Cup / Champions League and Planet Football.
