<p><b>A Sports Book of the Year in the <i>Irish Times, </i>the <i>FT</i> and the <i>Mail on Sunday</i></b><br><br><b>'Kuper is one of the best sportswriters in the English language today' <i>New Yorker</i></b><br><b><br>'Unmissable ... T</b><b>he ultimate book for anyone who loves football' <i>Mail on Sunday</i></b><br><b><br>'A brilliant evocation of the joy of the football carnival and the absurdities of the global spectacle... an essential companion' David Goldblatt </b><br><br>It's the biggest competition on Earth. A four-yearly chance for the world's greatest footballers to realise their ultimate dream. A month-long media spectacle that's watched by billions. <br><br>The World Cup has changed beyond recognition since the early days, when the players were semi-pros and the trophy went missing. Today, it's a corporate-led bonanza of dark money and dubious ethics. Simon Kuper, bestselling author of <i>Bar</i><i>ça</i>, reflects on every tournament since Italia 90 to reveal a captivating portrait of sport in a globalised world. Entertaining and compelling, <i>World Cup Fever </i>is the definitive story of football's greatest drama, and of how the tournament can touch - and even change - our lives.</p>
