Yeah, super post Vinestalk, thanks so much for the effort.
Topical to this thread, I've been slowly working my way through Futebol: The Brazilian Way. It covers the history by distinct chapters that tend to cover individual players across different eras, it's a cool format. For example, the first chapter covers the scattering of Brazilian players across the smaller leagues of Europe by following the first 4 Brazilian players to play in the Faroe Islands league, how they have to work in local industry to make ends meet, etc.
Good book, worth checking out if you get the chance.
That book should be a lot better than it is, tbh. Like, there's so little about Brazilian club culture or tactical history, and so much about some random amateur tournaments in the Amazon and Brazilian footballers in the Faroes or Finland; it's less a book about Brazilian football and more a book about global football through Brazil as a prism. Pretty good at that, but it lacks an interesting connecting narrative.

Great game, two brilliant goals, Almeyda is such a beautiful man, but most importantly: how many people died?
