I come from a country where cricket is not just a game but a religion they say, India it is. But thanks to my family, I am turning into an avid fan of football as well. Football too, is not just a sport but a language, culture and passion that united millions of fans across continents. The Legendary Soccer Quizbook is not just for those who are beginning to love the game like me but for die hard fans as well, a book full of trivia, the why, what, when and how of the sport presented in a very intersting fashion. The quiz book begins with a chapter dedicated to Greatest matches of all times which I loved lots. There are easy questions that carry one mark each, a set of normal questions that carry 3 marks each and then hard questions that reward you with 5 marks each. There is a Did you know section in between, a bonus section at the end where you pick a favorite player, learn more about a particular stadium and identify a football trophy from its silhouette. At the end of each chapter, come the answers so that we can check where we stand in our knowledge on the topic and what's our score, the experience of reading this made informative, interesting with a competitive edge. Other favourite topics were - Legendary coaches and tactics, Golden Boot and other records. Women soccer is not left behind with a chapter of questions dedicated to it. I learnt a lot from chapters dedicated to Fans cultures and traditions, Soccer and pop culture.

For instance, sample this - which match is famously known as The Miracle of Istanbul? Which match ended in Maradona's Hand of God goal? Not just these easy questions but more difficult ones are here, making a total of about 300 in this book. So let the Q and A session and some brainstorming begin, loads of learning and looking up more information promised in this amazing book of trivia for football fans of all ages. Don't miss it !!
