Talkin' Soccer

by James Buckley Jr. (Illustrator), James Horvath (Illustrations)

The kit, the pitch, and the nutmeg are all as much a part of soccer as the ball and the goalie. In this fact-packed book, readers will strap on their cleats and jump onto the field to find out how to 'talk like a soccer player.' Additional features include a table of contents, a phonetic glossary, sources for further research, an index, and an introduction to the author.
