The book is recommended by a former editor for Books in Canada and Poetry Canada Review (check book's back cover)!
A truly unique, rare book not only on soccer, but on sports and the game of life. Tons of specific soccer content for any fan. An inspired work zooming into the mind, heart and psychology of athletes, of anyone.
With one long poem of 48 pages, dozens of short ones, plus the essays, it's like 3 books in one!
Written with enough clarity (unlike some poems), but not at all simplistic or unpoetic.
Includes a brief history of all the World Cups since 1930, Euro 2000, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Italian soccer, France, and much more.
You need not even like soccer, sports or poetry to like this book!
