In backyards, dirt lots and even in the middle of city streets, children around the planet practice and dream about becoming the next Rossi, Pelé, Maradona or Falcao in the world’s most popular sport.
Re-live the magical, heart-stopping moments of the game’s incredible history in this loving tribute to Paolo Rossi and to a sport so many millions love across the globe.
