Soccer players speak

Soccer is truly an international game; a shared passion played all over the world. A Beautiful Gamecelebrates this popular sport through the stories of some of the world's most well-known players - David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Gilberto Silva, Claudio Suárez, and others (42 in all). What these men all share is an abiding love for soccer, played as often as possible: on streets, dirt, grass, gravel or any available surface. In fact, their stories are so similar that some of them are less than compelling. However, the wonderful photographs scattered throughout the book more than make up for it.
