Aprašymas

Score a goal with soccer fans age 12 and up in this new Creative Sports series. Since the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, only eight nations have won the coveted championship! Each upper-elementary title introduces the history of one of these national teams, where it plays home games, its big rivals, its star players and coaches, and its World Cup appearances and wins. Soccer power Argentina won the FIFA World Cup in 1978, 1986, and 2022; a rarely matched feat. Two giants of "the beautiful game"--Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi--call the country home. Maradona scored the "Goal of the Century" in 1986, while Messi earned eight Ballon d'Ors, far more than any other professional soccer player. This upper-elementary title follows "La Albiceleste" through fast-paced matches as they "tango" their way into the hearts of fans worldwide. Vibrant layouts spotlight players of different eras, and an "About the Team" section recaps important facts. Includes a glossary and index.
