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 its 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. * Jon Culley, The Sports Bookshelf *
