    Brilliant

    I am a 14 year old soccer player and I believed this book has everything you need to know about soccer. I learned more about soccer than I knew before. I am also a referee, and I believe this book is perfect for referee's, too. I recommand you read the book and join thousands of others playing soccer around the world.

    Very good - but some parts outdated

    When this book was published, it covered just about everything that you want to see covered. But that was 9 years ago, and there are parts of it that are severely outdated.

    Outstanding Soccer

    Soccer is a fun sport to watch and to play. But, if you want to get good then you need to practice which makes perfect. I love to play with my team called the Santos. Which means Saints in Brazil. I play on one of the best teams in the state of Georgia. It is very exciting to travel in soccer and I recommand that you try too.
