World Cup Fever
A Sports Book of the Year in the Irish Times, the FT and the Mail on Sunday'The ultimate book for anyone who loves football, and plenty who don't ... Unmissable' Mail on Sunday'Kuper is a wry and sharp-eyed guide' New Statesman'A brilliant evocation of the joy of the football carnival and the absurdities of the global spectacle... an essential companion' David Goldblatt It's the biggest sporting competition on Earth. A four-yearly chance for our greatest footballers to realise their ultimate dream. A month-long spectacle that's watched by billions. But the inaugural World Cup, held in Uruguay in 1930, was semi-professional, poorly attended and haphazardly organised - so how did it become a bonanza of multinational sponsorship, dubious ethics and shadowy characters, and the ultimate stage for football's greatest drama?Simon Kuper is one of very few people to have attended every World Cup since 1990. In World Cup Fever he looks back at each tournament he's experienced - from half-empty stands at Italia 90 to the French triumph as hosts in 1998, South Africa's national dream in 2010 and the troubling legacy of 2022 - to reveal a captivating portrait of sport in a globalised world. World Cup Fever is the story of how the tournament touches and sometimes even changes our lives, by one of the best writers on the beautiful game.

Die größte aller Partys
Seit 1990 hat Simon Kuper keine Fußball-Weltmeisterschaftausgelassen, er war bei allen neun Turnieren vor Ort und hat seine Beobachtungen in 25 Notizbüchern festgehalten. Dabei legt er den Fokus nicht auf 1:0-Berichterstattung, sondern auf die vielen abseitigen Geschichten rund um das größte Fußballfest der Erde. So erfährt der Leser etwa, weshalb die deutsche Mannschaft ihren Bösewicht-Status als "Darth Vader" der WM verlor, wie ein Indigenen-Stamm mit dem 1:7-Desaster Brasiliens umging und auch, warum der Autor von der WM 1998 in Frankreich dermaßen begeistert war, dass er seinen topdotierten Job in London kündigte und spontan nach Paris umzog.Das einzigartige Buch zur WMin den USA, Kanada und Mexiko vom vielfach ausgezeichneten Simon KuperKeine 08/15-Erlebnisse, sondern Hintergründiges, Abseitiges, Literarischeszum größten Fußballereignis der WeltInsider-Wissen & große Erfahrung: Der Autor war seit 1990 bei jeder WM live dabei
