Spain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781682777701)

Score a goal with soccer fans age 12 and up in this new Creative Sports series. Since the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, only eight nations have won the coveted championship! Each upper-elementary title introduces the history of one of these national teams, where it plays home games, its big rivals, its star players and coaches, and its World Cup appearances and wins. Having won a FIFA World Cup, a UEFA Nations League, and three European Championships since 2008, Spain is likely Europe's most successful 21st-century national soccer team. With soccer stars like Andres Iniesta, David Villa, Sergio Ramos, and Carles Pyuol, this national team is known for its "tiki-taka" play style: short passes grouped together to build an attack. This upper-elementary title follows Spain through thrilling soccer action as "La Roja" strives to recapture the World Cup. Vibrant layouts spotlight players of different eras, and an "About the Team" section recaps important facts. Includes a glossary and index.
