    essential reading
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2013*

Let me start with the negatives: it is not made clear on the amazon site that this book written was written in 1999, then with a 2011 edition, containing just an Epilogue extra. The 2011 'Epilogue' has typos and punctuation errors - see on p 430 where the important name of Julio 'Grondona' is misspelled as 'Gordona' - an efficient and knowledgeable proofreader (I know of just such a one!) could have rectified this kind of mistake.That said, I found Yallop's book to be one of the most fascinating books I have ever read - it opened the eyes of this reader further than wide open. The detailing of Joao Havelange's, the ex-FIFA president's, dealings while in office (and out, as a supporter of Blatter) are astonishing and I have no reason to doubt the varacity of the book's findings - it is a very well-researched book. In fact, to quote a trite cliche, it was 'unputdownable'. The beautiful game has indeed been bought but the way Pele for example has tried to rise above the seedy, the sleaze and dubious deals shines through. Others should be ashamed of themselves.I had long thought a certain soccer match between Argentina and Peru was a rather 'remarkable' and 'convenient' result in the circumstances for the host country and I am now even more convinced. It is all so sad that the romance has gone out of the game and the 'prawn sandwich' brigade/suits have taken over (and not just football).I will be investing in Yallop's other books.

Great to see the truth exposed. Pity about the beautiful game.

    How they stole the game review
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2013*

The current FIFA president and his villainous predecessor are shown up for what they're worth. How did the football world put up Havelange for so long? And his successor is cut from the same cloth.
