520    "From the wildly popular soccer pundits, a hilarious and 
       informative guide to the ever-more popular game.  For more
       than a decade, the "Men in Blazers"--two balding 
       transplants from Britain named Rog and Davo-- have stood 
       at the center of our growing national obsession with 
       soccer. Hundreds of thousands of fans tune in weekly to 
       their podcast and television broadcast to get their 
       analysis of the previous week's matches and soccer news. 
       But for all their passion, many American fans are new to 
       the sport: they weren't following it (or weren't yet born)
       when, for example, Maradona scored two of the most 
       remarkable World Cup goals of all time in 1986, or when 
       George Best was leading Manchester United to glory on the 
       pitch and boozing and rampaging off of it. Now, Rog and 
       Davo fill in all the gaps with this hugely entertaining 
       and idiosyncratic guide to the sport they--and we--love. 
       Published on the eve of the 2018 World Cup, this will be 
       the book every soccer fan will need to have"--|cProvided
