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 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. Few national soccer teams can claim more records in the sport than Italy. The ＂Azzurri＂ won four FIFA World Cups--second only to Brazil! Italy is the only team in the world to win two World Cups in a row under the same coach. It boasts the oldest player ever to win a World Cup, goalkeeper Dino Zoff. This upper-elementary title follows Gianluigi Buffon, Nicolo Barella, and their teammates as they strive to recapture the World Cup. Vibrant layouts spotlight players of different eras, and an ＂About the Team＂ section recaps important facts. Includes a glossary and index.
