This Thursday night, Green Apple Books welcomes the editors of the new book Glorious World Cup, the definitive and humorous guide to this year’s international phenomenon.
If a guide book was a riot, then this is it. The Glorious World Cup is a smash and grab read with propellant laughs and wicked satire. Expect some crunching tackles on the establishment with profiles on hooligans, World Cup villains and serious national grudges. Stuffed with country and player profiles, bags of footie history, and all you need to know about South Africa.
On hand at the event will be editors Allen Black and David Sterry. Stop by Green Apple (506 Clement Street) at 7pm to meet them and pick up a signed copy of the “balls-out guide” to the 2010 World Cup.

Does anyone know which bars in Richmond will be showing the games? I’m guessing Ireland 32 will, are there any others?
BTW, there will be a 13-by-18-foot screen at Civic Center plaza.
