Though it burst into public consciousness only with the 1999 World Cup, women's soccer has been around almost as long as its male counterpart, flourishing in England during and after World War I. From the rise of women's soccer following Title IX legislation in the early seventies to the watershed 1999 World Cup performance that turned the American team into instant celebrities, soccer is now the most popular sport for girls and women, with participation growing exponentially worldwide. Beyond "Bend It Like Beckham" presents the first in-depth global analysis of the women's game--both where it has come from and where it is headed. With commentary from key players, coaches, and administrators, Timothy F. Grainey follows the sport's reach into the unlikeliest places today, even countries where women were banned from playing soccer just a few short years ago.Though women in the United States and Canada still fight for equal treatment and funding, their situations differs markedly from the hostility, abuse, and even outright bans that some women still encounter in trying to pursue an activity they love. Through the prism of soccer, this book explores the struggle for women's rights abroad, in countries as diverse as Sweden, Russia, South Africa, Pakistan, Australia, and Iran.

Car is nice and shiny
The cleaner is very good by its self to use to get water to roll right off the car. The wax was a little more difficult than I thought but seems to be doing good

leaking from liquid container
From the outside of the box, it looked fine, but when I opened it, 3 out of 9 containers of liquid leaked out. It looks like the plastic container has a broken seal or a small crack. Please check the product and pack well in the next order so that there is no such problem.

Great product, very poor shipping.
Very disappointed in the shipping, the wash and wax leaked all over the rest of the products inside. Have to wash the towels due to them being full of soap. Great products, adds shine and water beading slickness.
