- -This book is available in English only: Football. Fussball. Fútbol. The Beautiful Game. No sport has ever captured the human imagination quite so completely, or united so many millions across borders, languages and generations.
Football: The Impossible Collection distils the sport into 100 defining moments – not simply the greatest, but the most culturally seismic. Guided by the authoritative voice of Rory Smith, long-standing football correspondent for The New York Times, the collection moves chronologically through the sport’s extraordinary history: from Pelé’s arrival on American soil to Messi’s long-awaited coronation at the 2022 World Cup, from the birth of the Premier League to Zinedine Zidane’s infamous outburst on the world’s grandest stage. Across borders, genders and leagues, these are the defining moments that did not merely define football. They defined us.
True to Assouline’s commitment to the object as an art form, the volume comes in a sculptural, rubber-like clamshell case, its hardback rendered in a bold field-green that makes the iconic black-and-white ball leap from the surface. The three-dimensional football at its centre is not merely decoration; it is a statement. With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, there has never been a more electrifying moment to hold this book in your hands. For anyone who has ever felt the pull of the beautiful game, it is nothing less than essential. - -Author: Rory Smith
