501 World Cup Moments is an astonishing journey through the rich history of the most important tournament in football. For almost a century, the World Cup has offered diverse stages on which artists, madmen and criminals – as the brilliant Argentine writer Osvaldo Soriano once said – have performed.
 
Within its pages, you'll find a compelling selection of gems from across World Cup history, brimming with heroes and villains and unforgettable moments. They include the striker who stayed on the pitch despite suffering a heart attack; the pitch-invading dog that urinated on a player; the triumphant team that took a lap of honour without the cup (which was accidentally left in a bank vault); the team that qualified by winning a match against no one; and the manager who, despite winning the championship, was sad because his team conceded two goals in the final.
 
This enthralling book is chock-full of incredible matches, amazing goals, astounding anecdotes, trivia, quotes, records and much more – from the inaugural tournament at Uruguay 1930 to Qatar 2022.
