soccer is often called "the beautiful game" and in this book you get to meet scores of the "beautiful people" that have made it what it is (not the least of whom is Galeano himself) ... not the current superficial, narcissistic definition of BPs but real BPs (and even a few not-so-BPs) who have contributed to an international cultural ecosystem. I continue to send copies around the globe because i haven't found anything to replace it ..... David Beckham's (what ?) third, fourth, fifth autobiography ? don't make me laugh !! "How soccer explains the world" - wannabe stuff !! need to know if you've got a pulse ? READ THIS BOOK !!!!!
