The Biggest Party on the Planet: An American at the World Cup

"The Biggest Party on the Planet" is equal parts sports book, travelogue, and comedy of errors. It is the story of one man's quest to experience first hand the largest and most celebrated event known to humankind. It plays out over eight years, three continents and two World Cups: Korea 2002 and Germany 2006.

It is a raucous, irreverent look at the wild times, spectacle and culture clash that can only happen when adventurous fanatics follow their National Teams to foreign shores.
