Against All Odds Summary

Against All Odds: The Greatest World Cup Upsets by Rob MacDonald

THE GREATEST TOURNAMENT. THE BEST WRITERS. THE BIGGEST SHOCKS. Join football writing's biggest names for a definitive journey through the most unlikely results in World Cup history. Discover the stories behind the tournament's biggest ever upsets - how they were achieved, what really happened and what, if anything, really changed as a result? Featuring four previous Telegraph Football Book of the Year winners, Against All Odds goes deep into the tales of these storied fixtures, with each author giving their version of events from their unique perspectives, whether it be player and manager testimonies or their long association with the teams or games themselves. This book represents the full spectrum of World Cup history, adding colour and context to results that have echoed down the ages. It celebrates the teams who, faced with seemingly impossible odds, found the collective strength to overcome them. It also shines a light on the inherent relationship between football and socio-political climates, making it not only a comprehensive history but a must-have companion to the 2022 World Cup.
