Soccer is a game that bureaucrats try to dull and the powerful try to manipulate, but it retains its magic because it remains a bewitching game—“a feast for the eyes and joy for the body that plays it"—exquisitely rendered in the magical stories of Soccer in Sun and Shadow.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 10:01:18 Boxid IA40138206 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier Galeano tells of the suicide of Uruguayan player Abdon Porte, who shot himself in the center circle of the Nacional’s stadium of the Argentine manager who wouldn't let his team eat chicken because it would bring bad luck and of scandal-riven Diego Maradona whose real crime, Galeano suggests, was always “the sin of being the best.” Yet soccer, Galeano cautions, “is a pleasure that hurts.” Thus there is also heartbreak and madness. In the revised and fully updated edition of Soccer in Sun and Shadow, Galeano takes us to ancient China, where engravings from the Ming period show a ball that could have been designed by Adidas, to Victorian England where gentlemen codified the rules that we still play by today, and to Latin America where the “crazy English” spread the game only to find it creolized by the locals.Īll the greats—Pelé, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Eusebio, Puskas, Gullit, Baggio, Beckenbauer—have joyous cameos in this book.
