Everything you never knew you needed to know.

Finally, after thirty two years of frustration and waiting, Australia will take it's place in front of several billion viewers in over two hundred countries at the 2006 World Cup.

Damien Lovelock, from Triple J and SBS television, brings you this irreverent, down to earth, and informative guide to the most popular sporting event in the world. From the history of the tournament, through the tactics and team strategies (such as the Pyramid, the Penguin, the dreaded catenaccio, and the development of total football) and including all the greatest matches and individual players who have made the World Cup unique for drama and sensational sporting action.

Damo has made a name for himself as a wry, alternative commentator who is deceptively well informed and asks the questions that the ordinary fan in the stands wants to hear. His segment Fan's Corner on SBS' The World Game and his many appearances on Triple J and ABC radio have made him a cult figure, especially to those who love the game, but are unfamiliar with much of it's history and technicalities.

With a special emphasis on Australia's long road to World Cup glory, including how we overcame the curse of the Socceroos, 'Damo's Bedside Guide' is packed full of stories, trivia, and fun for both seasoned soccer fans and newcomers to "the beautiful game".
