READY for the World Cup? Got all the facts and figures at your fingertips?
If not, they’re all here, and there’s still plenty of time to swot up – the teams, the tactics, the clubs, the fans, the rituals, the stats and the results.
The game provides moments of sublime beauty and others of crushing disappointment and The Football Book celebrates its diversity in full, from the relative merits of zonal and man-marking to the most amusing terrace chants. You can even find out how to fix a match...
not that England will need to, of course.
