Goal! : The Fire and Fury of Soccer's Greatest Moment by Mark Stewart and Mike Kennedy

Goal!: The Fire and Fury of Soccer's Greatest Moment
This informational book gives a brief history of soccer, how it developed, and some of the best players of the game. Filled with plenty of pictures, the reader can read about some of the most memorable games and goals. I would recommend this only for fans of the sport, because as a novice to the sport, I found the descriptions of game-winning goals and world-famous players repetitive and boring. I'm sure true fans would enjoy reading every detail, though. C+ rating.

Score! : The Action and Artistry of Hockey's Magnificent Moment by Mark Stewart and Mike Kennedy

Score is a history of scoring in the game of hockey. It describes different kinds of shots, the stars of the sport throughout the years and the most memorable shots. 
Not knowing much about hockey, I found it most informative and interesting. There are plenty of pictures, but not an overabundance of them and they don't distract from the information in the text. Hockey fans and newbies like me will find much of interest here. B rating.
