Uruguay: Spanish Edition - Library Binding

by James Barry (Author)

The first FIFA World Cup winner was not a soccer powerhouse like Brazil or Germany. Tiny Uruguay not only defeated its mighty neighbor Argentina to win the first trophy in 1930, but the country also won every match it played in that tournament! "La Celeste" also won the World Cup 20 years later in a final against Brazil. This elementary-level title, translated into North American Spanish, follows the thrilling matches of Uruguay's golden era, sharing Luis Suárez and Federico Valverde's hopes for future glory. Vibrant layouts spotlight players of different eras, and an "About the Team" section recaps important facts. Includes a glossary and index.
