Sinopse

ESSAY ON THE INFLUENCE OF SOCCER IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF BRAZILIAN CULTURE. BY THE AUTHOR OF LETTER TO HER SON In *The Country of the Ball*, Betty Milan presents soccer as a mark of a national passion and exposes its dimension in the construction of identity and expression of a society and a culture. Milan recalls memorable matches, impressive plays, great players, and songs sung by the fans. And, if music is the end of the match, samba and Carnival appear as inseparable manifestations of soccer: spaces of celebration, joy, mythification, and fulfillment of the belief in victory and make-believe, fantasy, imagination, improvisation, freedom, beauty, and play. For Betty Milan, *The Country of the Ball* is a Brazil of players, fans, and the people, marked by political independence and the ability to express popular strength.
