A thrilling picture of Brazilian society and its football which neatly combines reportage with sporting analysis
Observer
Magnificent ... Bellos has managed to perfectly capture the chaos and corruption and the romance and obsession and the feeling of what it’s like to live in a genuinely football-obsessed nation
FourFourTwo
Hugely entertaining ... Required reading for anyone who intends to visit Brazil
New Statesman
An affectionate and shrewd account of the game ... Full of intriguing sidelights on Brazilian popular culture; its hedonism, piety and wondrous absurdity
Guardian
A hugely enjoyable account of a nation obsessed with football
The Times
Bellos unearths some wonderful stories and tells them with humour, warmth and humanity.
