{"product_id":"angels-with-dirty-faces","title":"Angels with Dirty Faces","description":"The Masterful, Definitive History of Argentinian Soccer\n\nLionel 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 Perón led the country into isolation; a hardening into the brutal methods of anti-fútbol; the fusing of beauty and efficacy under César Luis Menotti, and the emergence of all-time greats.\n\nPraise for Inverting the Pyramid\n\n\"Here, for the first time in decades, is a top-notch soccer book on how soccer is actually played on the field.\" -- Simon Kuper\n\n\"An outstanding work. . . .
