Reviews
"Argentina's narrative is complicated, and Jonathan Wilson mines all of it ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES. What sets Wilson's book apart is the depth to which he goes to show how soccer weaves through Argentina's political and economic turmoil. He finds that the country's most celebrated moments and players are never as great as they seem." -- Bloomberg Businessweek "Mr. Wilson is the Lionel Messi of world football writing. Few writers in his genre are on the same literary pitch. His latest work is an integral read for those love the Argentinean style of play, its rich history and why football is the true soul of Argentina." -- World Football Commentaries "[A] comprehensive, but immensely readable and wonderfully-researched history of a nation and its long-term love for the beautiful game... After reading this excellent history, you'll be as convinced as Argentina's football-loving population that it won't be long before the Carasucias add to their two World Cup titles." -- News North Wales, "Argentina's narrative is complicated, and Jonathan Wilson mines all of it ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES. What sets Wilson's book apart is the depth to which he goes to show how soccer weaves through Argentina's political and economic turmoil. He finds that the country's most celebrated moments and players are never as great as they seem." - Bloomberg Businessweek
Synopsis
The Masterful, Definitive History of Argentinian Soccer Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Alfredo Di St fano: in every generation Argentina has uncovered a uniquely brilliant soccer talent. Perhaps it's because the country lives and breathes the game, its theories, and its myths. Argentina's rich, volatile history--by turns sublime and ruthlessly pragmatic--is mirrored in the style and swagger of its national and club sides. In Angels with Dirty Faces , Jonathan Wilson chronicles the operatic drama of Argentinian soccer: the appropriation of the British game, the golden age of la nuestra , the exuberant style of playing that developed as Juan Per n led the country, a hardening into the brutal methods of anti-f tbol , the fusion of beauty and efficacy under C sar Luis Menotti, and the emergence of all-time greats. Praise for Inverting the Pyramid "Here, for the first time in decades, is a top-notch soccer book on how soccer is actually played on the field." --Simon Kuper "An outstanding work. . . . The soccer book of the decade." -- Sunday Business Post, The Masterful, Definitive History of Argentinian Soccer Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Alfredo Di St'fano: in every generation Argentina has uncovered a uniquely brilliant soccer talent.

- e***v (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI ordered a disc from the seller. Came very quickly and the packaging was nice. Minimal wear to both the disc and the case, and even had a little message for me to enjoy my discs. Product came as described, and I think I had a bang for my buck with the condition this DVD was in. I’ve checked some other DVDs and they go for around $7-10 plus shipping. Really happy with my experience and would order from this seller again if he had something else that I needed.FIGHT CLUB Two-Disc Collector's Edition & Slipcase Brad Pitt Edward Norton Wide (#267138730257)
