Simple and effective
These are by far the simplest drills I've seen and practiced with my team. Real easy to do and remember for those who don't want complicated practices...good book!

Soccer practice made simple
I used to think soccer didn't require much strategy...you either had the skill or you didn't.The drills in this book helped me overcome my lack of skill.It also made me appreciate the sport a lot better.

I recommend this to parents who have kids playing soccer and who themselves have very little background in soccer like me.

These drills were a great way for me to get involved with my daughter's love for soccer.Now, I feel like I am participating in the sport with her.

It helped me understand!
I knew little about soccer before buying this book. The drills in it are very concise and "practical." They're real easy to perform and I can see immediate improvement after repetition. Great gift idea for someone you know who should learn more about the game.

Highly recommended
This book breaks down soccer skills into a variety of drills.Many ofthese drills can be performed alone, with another person, or in a teamconcept.I found them to be very practical while having enough variety tokeep them fun as well. The Olympic section documents the history ofOlympic soccer in a concise and entertaining manner.A good book to readif you want to fully enjoy this years' Olympics.

Product Description
In the late 1920s, Frenchman Jules Rimet had a grand vision for a global soccer tournament: he named it the World Cup. Just 13 teams contested the inaugural tournament in 1930, and the hosts Uruguay were to emerge as the winners. From these tentative beginnings, the World Cup has grown exponentially into a truly all-embracing international competition, involving some 200 countries and spanning every continent on the planet. It has provided the stage for such soccer legends as Bobby Charlton, Eusebio, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and the incomparable Pele, and has furnished many soccer fans with their most cherished sporting memories. It is the biggest prize in competitive team sport.

The Treasures of the World Cup tells the story of the quadrennial festival of world soccer. It comprises an authoritative narrative account of each of the 17 tournaments to have taken place to date. The reportage is complemented by features on the superstars and the memorable moments for each of the finals, together with maps of the venues and results boxes. It also contains over 30 facsimile items of rare soccer memorabilia integrated into the pages of the book. The reader can relive the dramatic events that have entranced the watching millions by holding and examining soccer programs, game tickets, posters, stickers, postcards and items of correspondence, which until now have remained filed or exhibited in the National Football Museum in Preston, England, and other private collections around the world. Many of these items are newly researched and previously unpublished. ... Read more

Excerpt: Palau competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Palau's Olympic delegation was led by Frank Kyota, the President of the Palau National Olympic Committee, and consisted of five athletes, three team officials and four coaches. This was an increase from the nation's two previous appearances at the Summer Olympic Games; four athletes had been sent to both the Sydney and Athens Games. Palau's Olympic team was one of the 117 that won no medals at the Games. Palau was the 119th national team to enter the Beijing National Stadium in the parade of nations during the Opening Ceremony. The country's flag bearer was freestyle wrestler Elgin Loren Elwais, the first Palauan athlete to have qualified for a Games based on his own performances. At the Closing Ceremony athletes entered in a less formal style, led by the flag bearers of all the competing nations. The Palauan flag was carried by swimmer Amber Yobech. Palau had two competitors in the sport of athletics, one in each of the men's and women's 100 m sprints. Jesse Tamangrow finished seventh out of eight competitors in a heat which included eventual bronze medallist Walter Dix. Despite setting a new personal best time of 11.38 seconds he did not advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.
