Customer Review: Removes the mystery from soccer, hockey, etc.
I wish I had had this book during the telecast of the women's soccer championship -- now I know what the commentators should have told me! Bartges's great illustrations and down-to-earth text likewise make the infathomable rules of ice hockey easy to understand -- I can't wait for the season to start so that I can test my newly gained expertise. My wife read the chapter on football and has already watched some exhibition NFL games -- and enjoyed them! With the proliferation of sporting events on television, this book should be sitting beside every TV set.
