Riassunto

Former World Cup Golden Boot winner Gary Lineker provides his insider account of England's World Cup campaign in South Africa Starting with the qualifying process under new manager Fabio Capello, Gary Lineker shows how the England side evolved and improved after the disappointments under Eriksson and McClaren. He also assesses how the key players performed in the build-up to the tournament, and which ones managed to bring themselves to the fore during the hard-fought Premiership season. Once the squad is selected, Lineker provides a day-by-day account of England's progress. Based on his own experiences of two World Cup tournaments as a player, plus his ongoing role hosting the BBC's World Cup coverage, Lineker gives a fascinating insight into the unique pressures of the World Cup and assesses England's performances. With plenty of behind-the-scenes drama, this first-ever African World Cup is sure to be one of the most dramatic sporting stories of the year, and who better to record what happened than Gary Lineker?

Recensione:

'Doing a book on England's lamentable performance at the recent unpleasantness in South Africa may feel like exhuming a corpse while it's still twitching, but Mr Lineker brings an ever so BBC suaveness to it all, which is part fan's rant, part socially aware documentary. The message seems to be, don't panic, we've been here before'
Belfast Telegraph 28/9
