Super Soccer series.
Men's and women's soccer fans should enjoy the variety of topics covered (in a somewhat cursory way) in this series with examples spanning the sport's history; however, the World Cup Heroes title is misleading since the examples are all men. Five brief, accessible, sports-action-packed chapters in each volume, with accompanying clear photos and occasional brief sidebars, should grab fans' attention. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review coveres these Super Soccer titles: Champion League Legends, Great Moments in Olympic Soccer, Women's World Cup Heroes, US Men's Professional Soccer, US Women's Professional Soccer, and World Cup Heroes.

The well-designed layouts feature "Fast Fact" sidebars, sharp color and archival photographs depicting soccer game action and players, and a statistics page. There are four other fall 2017 books in this series. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. Review covers these Europe's Best Soccer Clubs titles: FC Barcelona, Juventus FC, FC Bayern Munich, and Chelsea FC.
