2002 FIFA World Cup Viewing Guide: The World Cup Clash: 2002 FIFA World Cup Viewing Guide (Full-color copperplate illustration book)

Author: Li Dan
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2002-04-01
Features: This book (or booklet) was compiled by three of the youngest editors of China Football Daily in a short time with close to the facts. Because they are young, the authors did not include the typical formulaic content often found in such books. As a result, this book is closer to readers—more precisely, closer to the things that fans care about. Similarly, books related to the 2002 World Cup have either been published or are still in production. In short, the total number of such publications is likely in the hundreds, but only a few truly have the "encyclopedia" quality. This book is one of them. "Encyclopedia" refers to something that can be referenced, which implies accuracy. And what is accurate is the essence of football. Not everyone can attend the actual "Millennium Match" at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, but everyone (as long as they love and follow football) can see this relatively recent "war" through other media.
