Booklist
“Following the same attractively designed format as the authors’ Long Ball: The Legend and Lore of the Home RunSwish: The Quest for Basketball’s Perfect Shot (2009), and Touchdown: The Power and Precision of Football’s Perfect Play (2009), this well-written book explores the nuances of scoring in the world’s most popular sport. . . A strong choice to dovetail with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but with plenty of staying power well beyond that.”
