Why is Argentina the most thrilling place to watch football on Earth?
Oh, San Lorenzo: A journey Through Argentine Football Culture drops you on to the fabled terraces of South America -and beyond, exploring the behaviour and psyche of the game’s most fanatical supporters.
Falling in love with San Lorenzo de Almagro takes the English author on a unique groundhopping journey, from the barrios of Buenos Aires to the souks of Marrakech. Getting to the heart of terrace culture, Oh, San Lorenzo recounts the chaos of clásicos, dramatic nights in the Copa Libertadores, and a mass pilgrimage to the Club World Cup.
Along the way, we meet leaders of the feared barra brava firms and players who encountered both the beauty and brutality of Argentine Football. Meanwhile, delving into San Lorenzo’s chequered past unearths extraordinary tales of club and country intertwined, including a clash with the military junta that leaves the club displaced to this day.
