The Greatest Giant-Killings in World Cup History

The World Cup doesn't belong to the favourites. It belongs to the ones who refused to know their place. A dishwasher who silenced England. A soldier from a hermit nation who knocked out Italy. Nine men who beat the world champions in the opening match. A folded shirt on the grass in Seoul. A curling shot in the desert that brought down Lionel Messi. These are the days the giants fell — told as the camp-fire drama they always were, with original illustration and no highlights, no punditry, just the story. This is The Beautiful Madness — the stories behind the World Cup.
