Reviews

"Capstone's World Cup Rivals series (4 titles) offers reviews of professional soccer teams that have faced each other in championship matches. Often the profiled teams are both neighbors and longtime rivals, as in the case with this offering. Histories of both teams, profiles of their star players, and a running recap of the featured game are presented in brief chapters (chapter one is eight pages long, all the others run four pages). Pages are filled with straightforward text, fact boxes, graphics, archival photos, and exciting full-color, often full-page action shots. Back matter includes a glossary, index, and lists of suggested further reading and research resources. The book features an eye-catching cover, and the vivid interior photos plus the familiar subject should make this a popular choice.--Kathleen McBroom ""Booklist"""
