From the hosts of the popular podcast and tv show Men in Blazers,
comes their completely scientific, 100% definitive,
defend-to-the-death list of the greatest soccer players of all
time. Every fan has their own list of the 100 soccer players they
consider the greatest ever to play the game. A list based on
triumphs, sublime moments of skill, superhuman tenacity, and
telenovela-esque backstories. To the list-maker, that 100 feels
objective. Unequivocal. An absolute truth. This is one such list.
Written with the same signature Men in Blazers humor found in their
New York Times bestseller Encyclopedia Blazertannica, and
accompanied by Nate Kitch's iconic photographic illustrations, Men
in Blazers share the stories of household names like David Beckham
and Alex Morgan, along with cult icons such as Garrincha, the
Brazilian star of the 1960s who was born with one leg six inches
shorter than the other, and Briana Scurry, a trailblazer who paved
a path for young Black soccer-playing women. Page by page, you will
revel in the depictions of players you adore, discover tales you
have never heard, and experience vivid stories of dreams, loyalty,
perseverance, creativity, and luck. Together, they form an
alternative telling of the history of soccer, tracing the evolution
of the men's and women's games around the globe, one unlikely,
unbelievable, unforgettable career at a time. Thanks to the
transcendent career arcs depicted within, Gods of Soccer is rife
with tales that will make readers' hearts soar. Encourage them to
dream. And then quickly rush off to make their own lists. FOR
