When you get time off from catching FIFA on the tube, flip through the pages of the just-launched World Cup 2010 Superstars. Authored by one-time ballboy for Watford FC-turned-journalist Paul Fisher, and published by UK-based picture book giant Parragon, this is a high-on-visuals hardback packed with team details and tricks, past performances and how they've affected this time's line-up, players to watch out for, with facts and vital stats few know. And yes, special style guides and the entire schedule.

The adrenalin-packed shots, like that of a jubilant Argentinian squad dripping wet on the windy night of October 10, after scoring a 94th minute goal against Peru to ensure a World Cup qualification, are worth the 695 bucks you'll spend on a copy. There's the game, there's the gloss, and it shouldn't take you more than 90 minutes to make it!


World Cup 2010 Superstars, published by Parragon, will be out at bookstores soon. Priced at Rs 695
