About
Euan McCabe is a football World Cup compulsive. Once a typical rugby-loving New Zealand schoolboy, he was mesmerised by his first sighting of Buenos Aires’ Monumental Stadium in 1978 and has since become besotted with the global phenomenon that is the FIFA World Cup ™.This book traces his growing infatuation with an event that he chooses to celebrate more for its flaws and its unique ability to accentuate the complexities of human nature and engross our planet, than for its more obvious role as a football tournament and sporting event.Incisive, punchy, emotional and humorous, this is a story of obsession. An absolute must-read for those people who spend four years of their lives waiting for each World Cup, not to mention those who have to live with them!
