Football: The Impossible Collection captures 100 defining moments that shaped the sport and the world. From Pelé's arrival in America to Messi's 2022 World Cup victory, this chronological journey explores the flashpoints that transcended the game itself. Curated by Rory Smith, The New York Times football correspondent, the collection spans borders, genders, and leagues to reveal the cultural significance behind each moment. Presented in Assouline's signature style, the book arrives in a sculptural rubber-like clamshell case. The bold field-green hardcover features a three-dimensional football that commands attention—a declaration, not decoration. Perfect for football enthusiasts and collectors alike, this is an essential addition to any library.
