Illuminates the connections between empire and sport by tracing the story of World Cup soccer, from the Cup's French origins in the 1930s to Africa and the Caribbean and back again. The author also recounts the lives of two of soccer's most electrifying players, Zidane and his outspoken teammate, Lilian Thuram.
