Synopsis
In the Heat of the Midday Sun is a love letter to the 1986 World Cup. A tournament viewed via the shimmering satellite images of an age before the dawn of high-definition coverage - which was introduced four years later, at Italia '90 - it was the last World Cup where the commentaries sounded like they were broadcast from the surface of the moon. Mexico took on the tournament after Colombia failed to deliver on their host candidature, relinquishing the rights in 1983. With a devastating Mexico City earthquake just eight months before the big kick-off, it was a miracle that the Estadio Azteca was still able to be the venue of Diego Maradona's greatest and most infamous hours. As well as Argentina's most gifted son, Mexico '86 was blessed by the presence of Sócrates, Platini, Francescoli, Butragueño, Belanov and Elkjær to name but a few of the icons on display. This is the story of an evocative World Cup that seemed to be held together by Sellotape., In the Heat of the Midday Sun is a homage to arguably the last truly iconic World Cup. Hosted with only three years' notice, and despite a devastating earthquake bringing Mexico City to its knees eight months before kick-off, Mexico '86 gave the watching world an unforgettable tournament, spearheaded by a certain Diego Armando Maradona., In the Heat of the Midday Sun is a love letter to the 1986 World Cup.

- h***- (60)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat book! One of the few with colour pictures. Because of the number of doll manufacturers, it only gives pictures of the key dolls produced for each company. It only covers US companies. Great for anyone starting to collect 1950s dolls.
