Futebol.
von Alex Bellos
Futebol is sub-titled "The Brazilian Way of Life", and
if any sport can truly be deemed to be such a thing for any country
on the planet, then surely the sport must be football, and the country
Brazil. Alex Bellos's study of football in Brazil, its history,
its players, supporters and legends, works from the standpoint that
Brazilian football is one the modern wonders of the world, "the
beautiful game" being an art form in itself and a universally
recognised trademark and brand.
