Product Description

If football is “o Jogo bonito”, the Beautiful game, how can something so beautiful sentence a practitioner to 50 years jail term for playing the sport? What If the world press did not view the 1950 World cup from the eyes of Brazil, and tag the match the Maracana Tragedy but instead call it “The Miracle of Maracana”, “A Victory for Football” or “A Tragedy of Expectations?” If other underdog victories are tagged “Miracles”, why has this been different? “I am not guilty. There were 11 of us.” “In Brazil, the maximum sentence is thirty years, but I have served fifty.”Moacyr Barbosa Goalkeeper for Brazil, 1950 World Cup final match between Brazil & Uruguay. *** You may see this book as a collection of individual stories each of which illustrate one or more aspects of life where the awareness of arrogance, conscious or unconscious can be put to great personal benefits. Each section can be read and enjoyed alone.
