4.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but doesn’t have all the official World Cup roster

I purchased this book knowing that i will find the official 2014 World Cup roster but that didn’t happen. The book it’s ok, has good information about the history of every team like qualifiers and all that stuff but you don’t see the official rosters. It seems to me that they made the book way before the World Cup begin.

1.0 out of 5 stars WHERE is the book?

This book was ordered in early April and delivery was expected by the end of May. The World Cup starts in TWO DAYS and my big soccer fan is quite disappointed that this book -- which was a gift -- is a no-show. Now that I am reading the other reviews that cite incorrect information included in the book, maybe it would be better if it didn't show at all. I may want my money back if it does. Not happy!

I bought this guide on May 15, 2014. It said that it will ship in 1-2 weeks, so it should be here by now. According to my account, the guide has not been shipped yet and the current ETA is between July 13- July 25, 2014. This was supposed to be a Father's Day gift. Very disappointed!

Everyone, don't buy this book, it will not be ready before the world cup, Amazon screwed up on the supply. I went to Barnes & Nobles yesterday and they have other world cup books which are as good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Information is wrong in it
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2014
It's ridiculous. The OFFICIAL guide has wrong info in it. It claims Mexico lost to Panama in the Azteca in October 2013.... NOPE Raul Jimenez won that game with a bicycle kick. Couldn't be bothered reading past that, I waited for this book for MONTHS and then for it to have incorrect information is really really sad.

Sigh.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why does it take 2-3 months to ship this paperback?!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014
Today is June 4. World Cup competition starts in a week. It will be over on July 13th. If I ordered this book today, estimated arrival is July 8th to July 25th.... by which time it will be worthless as a preview or guide to the competition.

I bought this in May and now they are saying it won't deliver until July 17 - August 11. It's pointless to receive a preview magazine after the World Cup is already over. I canceled my order.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good glossy guide!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2014

This book is nicely presented and is an ideal accompaniment for the world cup about to be shown on our screens. It contains a nice introduction and a brief history of brazil as a football nation. There is also a section on how all the teams qualified, a complete guide to all of the 32 participating teams, and a world cup history lesson at the end of the book with all the statistics on show- did you know for example that Ronaldo is the all time top goal scorer in world cup history with 15 goals?!

With its colourful presentation, nice pictures and facts and stats, this book really does wet the appetite for the upcoming tournament and is compact enough to rest on the side of the couch while tucking into a pack of crisps! If you are a football fanatic and looking forward to the world cup than this will be a great purchase! I can't wait for the football to begin!

4.0 out of 5 stars As essential as beer and snacks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2014

This is a solid introduction to the world cup in Brazil. It covers all the usual bases: a bit about Brazil and the venues; a summary of qualification and the tables; a double spread on each team; and some great stats from previous tornaments- including all the results from every world cup game; and loads of records to date.

I liked the fact every team who qualified gets equal treatment, instead of giving extra space to the favourites. I'd have prefered more detail on the qualification matches, as it is relevant to the build up to this tournament, and perhaps the comments of a variety of expert pundits on their take on the chances for each side. It also suffers from the fact it was printed before the squads were announced so not all the players mentioned will be at the tournament.

Over all for £5.00 this is good value and I imagine by July 13th it will be very well thumbed.
