Amazon.com Review:
The women of American soccer come to life in this snappy, photo-rich, magazine-style book for young readers. The very first women's soccer gold-medal game in Olympic history was held in Athens, Georgia, in 1996. Before that, 'people didn't know women even played soccer,' said star U.S. midfielder Kristine Lilly. 'You'd tell them, 'I play for the U.S. National Team,' and they'd say 'What's that?'' Today, there are more than 7 million women and girls playing soccer in the United States. The players featured in this book--from Miah Hamm to Briana Scurry to Julie Foudy--formed the core of the 1999 Women's World Cup team, and make up the team that will compete in the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. Team members are profiled with sports photographer Michael Stahlschmidt's abundant, full-colour pictures and with a brief essay describing their backgrounds, challenges, philosophies, and hobbies. Soccer fans will be inspired by the successes of the strong women athletes introduced in this light, accessible scrapbook. (Ages 8 and older)

This book does have good pictures. ....I bought this book hoping for much more. I am a huge fan of the womens game in America, and I know many of the players, but this book does not do them justice. The player biographies are about half a page for most, and they are not all profiled in-depth. The superstars are, but the lesser known players barely have a paragraph. ....It is only about 15 pageas of reading, the rest of the 48 pages are pictures.

The photographs of the women from the American World Cup are awesome! There is a summary on each player which is really cool! I especially liked Kristine Lilly's story because she's my favorite player. I loved the signatures of each player on the inside cover!
