Everyone loves a winner! Fans pay big money to see their favorite teams win big, and teams pay much greater amounts of money to get the best players. Big business at its best. What if money didn't play into it though? What if men played for the joy of the game? Aiden Williams takes a very different approach to sports writing in his book, Worst in the World. He introduces us to the five worst teams in FIFA and tells us some very interesting anecdotes about the teams and their players.
Williams is an exceptional writer and captured my attention with his style as well as his substance. His figurative language seemed almost out of place for the subject matter, but it quickly drew me in to life at the bottom. I loved reading about exploits of the American Samoa team. I became a fan in an odd sort of way. I enjoyed the chapter on the teams from Montserrat and Bhutan. He made the interesting point that no matter how big (or small) a town is, there are still the same amount of players on each team, and sometimes losing is winning if you hold the title of worst in the league.
If you are a Soccer fan, a Football fan or simply want to smile your way through a well written story about those who will never be in the World Cup race, BUT will always play with a full heart, then this is the book for you.
