Soccer Rules Explained
The essential guide to the game and the rules that govern it - with all of the newest rule changes instituted for World Cup 1998. Much more than a rules reference book, Soccer Rules Explained is an entertaining and enlightening in-depth appreciation of the world's most popular sport. Internationally recognized soccer authority Stanley Lover expertly covers each of the rules with analysis, historical notes, anecdotes, tips on play, and commentary, while stripping away the dry-as-dust legal language to reveal the energy and beauty of the game. Approximately one hundred photos and illustrations help illuminate all the rules. More important, this guide outlines all the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) rule changes instituted for the 1998 World Cup, the most significant changes in nearly sixty years. The result is an engaging, essential primer that can be enjoyed by newcomers and seasoned players alike, and is a must for anyone who wants to better understand the game of soccer. (51/2 X 81/4, 192 pages, b&w photos, illustrations)
