“As opposition boils up again today in Argentina, this riveting snapshot of popular outrage from below presents readers with a fascinating point of inflection to connect general strikes and dreams of revolution, past and present.”
—Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook
“Beautifully narrated.”
—Andreas Petrossiants, Stop Cop City United and coauthor of Diversity of Aesthetics

“. . . A kind of ballet. When anarchists and socialists began to better understand football, they saw it as a collective effort to achieve victory. That’s what football was for me, art and socialist sport.”
—Osvaldo Bayer, author of La Patagonia Rebelde
“Emma Goldman said that if she couldn’t dance, it wouldn’t be her revolution. If we can’t play [soccer], then it also won’t be ours.”
—Autonomous Football Club, Sao Paulo, Brazil
“Helps preserve the rich history of anarchism in Argentina, almost forgotten but once one of the world’s largest and most vibrant anarchist movements—and illustrates the unexpected and almost forgotten link between the anarchist movement and the nature of soccer clubs in Argentina today."
—Antifascist Action Buenos Aires
“Argentina serves a special place for the history anarchism, as well as fútbol (or soccer). Now, for the first time for English readers, we have a book that centers both in the same narrative. Once you pick up this book, you won't put it down—until the final whistle.”
