199:, Brazil's first visibly black goalkeeper since Barbosa, Dida, asked the country to forgive the old man. Dida notes that Barbosa was voted the Number One keeper of the 1950 Cup, a testimony to his outstanding skills. "He did a lot for the Brazilian team but then he was crucified after the match. That was terrible," said Dida. "The fact that he was the number 1 shows he did a lot for Brazilian football.

181:"It continues being the most famous goal in the history of Brazilian football...because none other transcended its status as a sporting fact...converting itself into a historic moment in the life of a nation." 168:"Football's shrine was as quiet as a tomb. Gigghia said many years later: 'Only three people have, with just one motion, silenced the Maracanã: Frank Sinatra, Pope John Paul II and me." 177:
The book details the soccer culture of Brazil often unforgiving of men it puts on a pedestal, and the absolute shock to the country and its people at the loss of the game.
