The final part of the book has every fixture, time, date, where the match is being played, boxes for you to fill out the scores and teams as well as when the quarter, semi and final is reached. All very handy – saves on getting your gigantic fixture poster you got free with your newspaper out and then struggling to fold it up correctly again. As with everything in this great read, this is straight forward, easy, and the author has even pencilled England in for you into the ‘final’ so that will save you having to complete that box and it gives us all hope and a chance to dream…

To conclude, light-hearted, packed with serious and humorous information about the teams and players you will be watching throughout the World Cup – this book has it all covered. If you want undemanding and enlightening and if you like the World Cup then you will love this page turner, it is a must have for football fans and anyone with a sense of humour.
