This book recommendation is on SOCCER IN SUN AND SHADOW by Eduardo Galeano. From the cover: “In this witty and rebellious history of world soccer, award-winning writer Eduardo Galeano searches for the styles of play, players, and goals that express the unique personality of certain times and places…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 that is exquisitely rendered in the magical stories of this collection.”
