Travels with Nelson - A Father-Son journey to the World Cup by David Smith

Father and son make a dream come true by going to World Cup 2014 for a month together, seeing games from day one all the way to the Final. Experience the high and lows with them, as Mum's country reaches the Final; as Dad's country goes out disastrously ; as Nelson's Team USA challenges the world's best; as they have their match tickets stolen; as they drive through a flood with fans of the opposing team; as they play Soccer in the Maracana, walk out on the hallowed pitch, and meet the next Messi; as they laugh, cry, celebrate and mourn. This is a book not just for all football fans -- but for every parent and child who dream of an adventure together. All of it written by Dad, a lifelong journalist, and son Nelson, a High School freshman.
