CIDADE DE DEUS : A Review of City of God Kimbel Westerson Jose Konde Grand Canyon University- ENG 105 As a Portuguese speaker, it is with happiness and proudness that I see a beautiful work of art made in a luso-country; a work that makes the difference not just in luso-countries but in the eyes of all the world.

into midfield, the midfielder has his back to the opponents goal and will have to turn and look to move forward. This takes too much time in modern football. The ball needs to go to the strikers, so they can bounce the ball back to a midfielder who then will be facing the opponents goal and who can immediately attack.” “It’s a simple rule in football: the third man determines what you can or can’t do.
