Miracle of Castel di Sangro
Football Against the Enemy
I assume it is The Damned United which the movie was based on?
You might also enjoy Walking on Water, Clough The Autobiography and I personally look forward to this, Nobody Ever Says Thank You.
> Any suggestions of other soccer related books is appreciated as well.
Would highly recommend Fever Pitch, Miracle of Castel di Sangro, Inverting the Pyramid, Brilliant Orange and Behind the Curtains.
I was hoping for this http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Miracle-Of-Castel-Sangro/dp/075152753X but there are a few other good reads there
Futebol: The Brazilian way of Life - really good compilation of articles covering the history of Brazilian football and the penetration of football into various aspects of Brazilian life. The brilliance, madness, personalities and passion are all here, accompanied by sound research and reflection. Very good.
Passovotchka- the tale of Dynamo Moscow's trip to play friendly matches in the UK in 1945. Really interesting story and as much about the east west culture clash in post-WWII as the football story. Fascinating and funny with it.
The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro - the story of one of the most unlikely teams to ever grace the upper echelons of Italian football. This is a great story and a good insight into everyday Italian football life, but the author (a somewhat presumptive American) intrudes a bit too much, to its detriment.
I'm not much of an autobiography reader but one of the few I have read is Tony Cascarino's, and that was excellent. Brutally honest, and one of the first football books that let us see how the stars of the game wrestle with their own demons.
> not sure what you mean by 'what-about-ing' (still working on my english) but if you are referring to "it can't hurt" argument
I'm not. I mean, your response to some criticism is "ok but what about...". I didn't mention America or Christianity, nor do I represent them, so why is it relevant :/
> it has nothing to do with you. If I'm going to spend $100 on an amulet knowing that the proceed will go into fixing the temple, feeding the homeless or whatever (as mention in previous comment that proceed often go to some great causes) hoping for some good karma, how does that concerned anyone? same goes for following astrologer. if I follow his/her advice without having to crazy/harmful things, again how does that concerned anyone? This is how most Thais think. They don't follow it blindly as they will say "ฟังหูไว้หู ไม่เชื่อแต่ก็ไม่ลบหลู่"
I'm sorry, but changing a child's name when he's old enough to be confused is not harmless. Politicians running the country based on lucky dates is not harmless. A taxi driver scraping by a living covering his cab with amulets instead of educating his child is not harmless. Monasteries asking for donations so they can build yet-another-massive-orange-and-gold-temple is not harmless. They might not be as bad as "risking your kid getting measles" but they add up.
> I was comparing that they're all important part of the culture and religion. However for those magical abilities you're referring to, I believe in Christianity (or catholic), they are called miracles and I believe they're mentioned regularly in mass media. I see it all the time.
'Miracle' is mostly a metaphor for something really, really unlikely. For example, a low football team beating a good one might be described as a miracle, but it's not meant in a theological sense. Actual miracles are associated with Jesus himself, or with saints (i.e. the Catholic equivalent of 'lesser' Buddhas). The "Jesus appeared in my toast" stuff is pretty fringe, tends to appear in specific sects of Catholicism such as Spanish Catholicism and usually mentioned in a widercontex tas a joke.
>> one special part of the Moon
>well that's a new one. I thought we're just talking? why the mockery?
It was a joke, but there really is a free Bible on the Moon. The Americans left it behind them in case anyone 'needed' it. I'm not sure how you'd think it was mockery, I'm just saying how available it is.
[You should read this book]
