"Refreshingly, women get equal page time in this volume in the On the Pitch series, part of Black Rabbit's high/low Bolt imprint. This infographic-driven book provides a survey of records set on the soccer field. Kicking off with the World Cup and Europe's Champions League, the text presents such team stats as the most victories and championship appearances by both men's and women's teams. Next, individual player records report expected fare, such as the most goals scored, but also feature a comparison of the youngest and oldest World Cup players and a fact-studded time line of Pelé's career. Toward the book's end, a collage spread displays a variety of factoids for added interest. The uncluttered layout and visual elements make this an ideal choice for reluctant readers and browsers alike."
