How long have people/kids have been playing soccer? Why exactly is it so fun? I personally love to play soccer, it is a game where you can play for fun or to win. For my upcoming book report, I chose this book because it concentrated on the lives of few men who have been playing soccer their lives and how it developed them. The setting of this book is Brazil, which is where the soccer games where played but of course it also talks about other places and different life stories. The Game Of Their Lives is based in the past because the book itself talks about a specific time period: 1950's but the actual story behind the writing could happen to anyone. The book starts out with explaining how lame the locker rooms of this one stadium are and explaining which teams are coming and their abilities. The Americans are described as a second thought because of all the losses and English/Brazilians the best ones. The part I liked the most until now was were it explained and gave example about passive and passionate players. Not only that, after a lot of explanations it goes into the character life's . The big idea at the beginning of the book was about how children started playing soccer with friends because they had nothing left to do so they would gather up and play "ball." Lastly, the first chapters I read through also told about how soccer was a side job for most players because it was the FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER WORLD WAR 2! But not only soccer, anything you believe in, can change your life.
In my opinion I think many people would like this book because already the first few pages are very persuasive and if you are a soccer fan, then it would be great to read about the happenings of miracles to some soccer players.
