    The official book by Kier Radnedge

    It's a good read as always, with a couple of pages on each of the 24 finalists, their history in the tournament, how they qualified, who their star player is, etc. Worth the cover price - it's under a tenner on Amazon - for the graphics, which I found most interesting of all - symbolic representations of all the host cities, to introduce each group in turn.

    I was only a little let down that they couldn't find space for a more in-depth statistical summary of all previous finals. They've gone with picking out "magic moments" from 1960, 1976 and then all the ones since 1988 (not 2008, though, curiously) and just describing the final itself (not 'the finals'). I suppose nowadays so much of that is a click away online it's superfluous to republish it; but I'd have liked it. Also, Virgil Van Dijk is written up as one of the fifteen 'superstars', but I don't think he's going to be there is he?
