Worth because of the Tunisia vs. England conflict, Sometimes in the book the guy seems more than a yuppie with a hobby than a football fan, his feet stuck into the bourgeoisie , so I missed the proletarian style of hooligan books. But there are good points too. Some words of every single WC match he watched and the book seems very honest, is a guy telling things he really saw, not trying to make a best-seller. Also, I like the intelligent way he analizes the loyalty of fans on small clubs agains the "football consumers" of the big ones who may desert as soon the teams go shite. But again, he looks much more like a football conoisseur who studies sociologically the game than a ordinary passionated supporter. The description of the conflict in Marseille beaches between Tunisians and English is a gem and the best chapter of the book, a shame that it´s in the very early stages of reading, so the rest of it looks like an anti-climax. Recently ordered "Eurotrashed" from the same author and didn´t read yet, but, to be honest, I expected more from "Tear Gas". |
The true story of France 98,
By A Customer
An excellent account of the World Cup in France. This book, and 'Toulouse or not to lose' by Jamie Mash, represent the true story of following England at France 98, never mind all the sensationalist and distorted reporting in the media.

A great way for France '98 fans to reminisce,
By A Customer
This book is a must buy for all fans who went to France '98. The stories are so true that your eyes start to itch again after reading about the teargas of Marseille. Another great read from Brimson.
