Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Football Book of the Year 2022 One
of the Financial Times Top 5 Best Sports Books of the Year The 1970
World Cup is widely regarded as the greatest ever staged, with more
goals per game than any World Cup since. But more than just the
proliferation of goals was the quality of the overall football, as
some of the finest teams ever to represent the likes of West
Germany, Peru, Italy and England came together for a tilt at the
world title. But at the heart of the tournament were Brazil;
captained by Carlos Alberto and featuring legends like Pele,
Gerson, Jairzinho, Rivellino and Tostao, the 1970 Selecao are often
cited as the greatest-ever World Cup team. Using brand new
interviews alongside painstaking archival research, Andrew Downie
charts each stage of the tournament, from the preparations to the
final, telling a host of remarkable stories in the players' own
words. The result is an immediate, insightful and compelling
narrative that paints a unique portrait of an extraordinary few
weeks when football hit peaks it has seldom reached since. This is
Mexico 1970. Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth.
