Description

The day the best football player in the world played in the mud of a village for the sake of a child, the man whom football saved from a genocide, a child who sees with the eyes of the soul, the first female star of football who "could do everything men can do," a dog that became the symbol of a team... These and many more well-known and, mostly, unknown stories about the planet's favorite game, which, despite what you may have heard, is not just 22 lads chasing a ball on some grass.

Stories from 20 different countries take us on a journey through the magic of football and illustrate how it touches the lives of millions of people. Argentina in 1978 was combined with a dictatorship and an event filled with many gray areas, unfair to an outstanding national team with players like Kempes, Luque, Pasarella, Hausmann, and Ardiles. The latter has indeed said a great phrase: "It hurt us very much when we learned that we were a means of distraction for the people while atrocities were happening."

Coach Menotti adds: "I was used. Unfortunately, the use of the sport by the powerful is as old as our world." Football is intertwined with society. It can influence it, change it, but it can also be exploited. That is why it needs people who will serve it with love.

    Enjoyable, unique, authentic original content with extremely interesting stories. I hope the creators will release a second one with even more unpublished stories.

    Favorite stories from our favorite page el Sombrero. If you are a fan of the page, you will love the book instantly.

    P.S: I would have liked a few more stories in the book, I liked it so much that I finished it relatively quickly.

    A book full of stories about football in the same style as the website. Anyone who reads the website will not be disappointed at all. For those who have not read articles from the sombrero.gr website, this book narrates some stories related to football, where through them you can examine football as a social phenomenon, how it can change someone's life, and much more. It is enjoyable, it doesn't tire you at all, and it definitely worth its money. The only negative is that it doesn't have more stories.

    Well-written and very interesting with stories that I doubt many know. Football fanatics will love it. Others will understand why football is the best and most popular game in the world.

    A wonderful gift for a football enthusiast, but also enjoyable for anyone. It contains articles - short stories from the world of football, featuring mainly players and fans of teams from around the world. If you follow the corresponding page, buy it with your eyes closed. You may have already read several of the stories it contains, or know that you can read them there for free, but a book with them is a gem.
