From the Author

gives a description of the book's coverage.
This is the first published assessment of the 1998 World Cup in English. It puts the organisation of the World Cup in the context of French society and French football in general. It contains contributions by Gérard Houllier of Liverpool FC, and by the French academics Pierre Bourdieu and Patrick Mignon, and half a dozen other authors. There are chapters on the history and current organisation of French football, on the French national team and national identity, the fans and French fandom in general, the economics of the Finals, the building of the stadia and its local and national politics, issues of policing and security during the finals, the reporting of the Finals in the new and old media, and the national impact of the World Cup in France. There is also a diary of the Finals and 14 photos.
