By Alex Bellos, Ben Lyttleton
Age Group: 9 - 12 Years
Description:
What's a vomitory (stadium exit, not puke-fest)? When do stars wee mid-match? Why chickens invade keeper zones? How women kicked off the beautiful game? Awesome true tales reveal football's world-saving magic—from biology (super lungs for sprints?), maths (penalty probabilities?), to history (suffragette scorers?). Hilarious cartoons burst with gags, diagrams, and superstar antics like Ronaldo's rocket shots.
Dynamic coaches Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton blend journalism savvy, sports wizardry, and infectious fun—netting knowledge goals every page. Laugh loads while learning how the pitch conquers planets!
