pretty good reads. It's been a few years now since I read them...Brilliant Orange, Futebol (Brazil), Tor! (Germany), Morbo (Spain). Guess you could include a season with Verona as that had some brilliant stories with Italian football culture. Of all those books, my memory is the most hazy on Tor! to be honest. Enjoyed the sections about the 50's if I recall correctly...that was particular good.
