Book

Why Soccer Matters

Author: Pelé and Brian Winter

Genre: Sports

Comments

This book was a perfect complement to my obsession with the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The memoir is fun, enlightening and offers a viewport from Pele that is thoughtful and reflective of how the beautiful game has been the catalyst for his growth on and off the field. As a self-proclaimed "soccer head," it was fun to read while watching the sights and sounds of the tournament from his home country of Brazil.
