"I know in my heart that soccer was good to me, and great to the world....I saw, time and again, how the sport improved countless millions of lives, both on and off the field. For me, at least, that's why soccer matters." The world's most popular sport goes by many names--soccer, football, the beautiful game--but fans have always agreed on one thing: The greatest player of all time was Pel . Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, Pel had a stunning twenty-year career, where he was heralded as an international treasure. His accomplishments on the field proved to be pure magic: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals. Since retiring, he has traveled the world as soccer's global ambassador, relentlessly promoting the positive ways soccer can transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations. Now, for the first time, the legendary star and humanitarian explores the sport's recent history and provides new insights into the game. With unparalleled openness, he shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories, and hard-won wisdom. This is Pel 's legacy, his way of passing on everything he's learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pel details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful high quality book
Format: Hardcover
This book is just what I wanted. It is very high quality: heavy paper, book sleeve, many photos. The book is about the museum: its development, architecture, design, configuration and exhibits.

Great Experience !
Format: Hardcover
Received this book as it was described - in new condition! I ordered the book the American way (at the last moment and OMG I need this tomorrow for a gift mode - LOL) and this seller was sooooooo accomodating. Before he had written consent that I would pay extra for postage, he had mailed it. Of course i paid a little extra - well worth it- thank you sooooo much!
The book was a huge surprise for the person I gifted it to and so thank you again for allowing me to give it to her on her special day!
I would do business with them again!

Format: Paperback
I purchased this book as a gift for someone I had taken to the Holocaust Museum. (I have had a hard copy of the book for years.) It is a wonderful book about a remarkable place that EVERYONE should visit when in DC.
