How football (nearly) came home : adventures in Putin's World Cup
Ronay, Barney2019
Books, Manuscripts
The summer of 2018: England sweltered in the most sustained heatwave for 42 years, the government tore itself apart over Brexit, and hundreds of miles away, in a taciturn and strange state, the national football team did the unthinkable in the World Cup: they didn't screw it up. Barney Ronay was there through the whole tournament, criss-crossing Russia as he followed the England team, and the rest, on their quest for glory. Here, he captures the sights and sounds, the twists and turns, the bad food and the great football that contributed into making this World Cup one of the greatest of all time.
