Overview
Overview
Score a goal with soccer fans age 12 and up in this new Creative Sports series. Since the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, only eight nations have won the coveted championship! Each upper-elementary title, translated into North American Spanish, introduces the history of one of these national teams, where it plays home games, its big rivals, its star players and coaches, and its World Cup appearances and wins. The first FIFA World Cup winner was not a soccer powerhouse like Brazil or Germany. Tiny Uruguay not only defeated its mighty neighbor Argentina to win the first trophy in 1930, but the country also won every match it played in that tournament! "La Celeste" also won the World Cup 20 years later in a final against Brazil. This upper-elementary title, translated into North American Spanish, follows the thrilling matches of Uruguay's golden era, sharing Luis Suárez and Federico Valverde's hopes for future glory. Vibrant layouts spotlight players of different eras, and an "About the Team" section recaps important facts. Includes a glossary and index.
