World Cup Fever by Simon KuperRead about the other titles on the list.
Kuper pops up again in our run-down with his latest book World Cup Fever, in which the veteran sports journalist recounts his personal experience of covering every tournament since Italia '90, thirty-six years ago. A fascinating and highly entertaining exploration of how the World Cup has changed and evolved over the decades - from half-empty stadia to international political protest - Kuper is the perfect guide to this ethically complex and ever-more glamorous competition.
