The purpose of “La Roja” is to let know the reader more about a sport that took over Spain. It was a sport that many people from Spain enjoy playing. Their favorite sport was soccer, it changed many peoples life’s in a positive way. It says that “millions of people view the sport and many of them gather at the capital to welcome their team back.”(page 1) They welcomed Spain’s team back because they went to the 2010 World Cup. The people living in this country were very excited and happy to be recognized as one of the best teams to go to the world cup. It takes a lot for a team to get to this level. This book would get anyone interested and wanting to keep reading it. It teaches you a lot about the importance of soccer and the way people got popular through it.

This book will have a positive impact on the audience. It will have a positive impact on the audience because it talks about the important teams of Spain. It also talks about the teams that lead the country to the champion leagues and the world cups. One of Spain’s most important team is Barcelona. In the book the author talks about its rival real Madrid which is also part of Spain. These teams are both part of Spain but when it comes to soccer they are rivals. The book says that “no matter where they faced each other, the sport was always an intensely partisan.”(page 195) The people supported both team because they are both great teams but at the end the sport that they were playing is what matter. They loved to be entertained by 2 of the best teams in the world. Each year both teams had their records, but what matter was that they were both part of Spain. It can teach the audience about how important the sport was to the people in Spain.

The book was well written; it caught people’s attention to keep reading it. The people that are interested in the soccer are really going to enjoy this book. It takes people back to the time the sport was first played. It takes them back to the 1880’s and the people that were involved in the sport. It talks about the cities that the sport was played in. The cities that they played in were Madrid, Barcelona, Busque, Catalan and more. This book also talks about the way each city had its own country and their language. It also talks about the legends that made the sport very famous and exciting. I believe the books main focus was on the people that played the sport, politicians and mainly their fans. It gives interesting biographies about each good player. It lets the reader know about the amazing people that existed during this 80’s. The sport would’ve never been as famous if it wasn’t because of the fans. They are the ones that come out and support the players playing the beautiful sport.

I would recommend this book to many of my friends. They enjoy playing soccer and they also have their favorite players. One of my closes friend favorite players is Beckham. In the book they talk about Beckham going to play at Spain. He is one the best players in the world and also the highest pay. Real Madrid was willing to pay for as much money as he asked. They talk about Beckham going to play in Spain. It says “one question is if Beckham would ever be part of Real Madrid.”(page 295) I’m sure my friend would enjoy seen Beckham play for Real Madrid. That is his favorite team and his favorite player. Beckham been part of Spain made history. He helped Real Madrid and he also helped Spain become more famous.

I enjoy this book, especially because it was soccer and that’s my favorite sport. It talked about how Spain made history in soccer and so many of soccer’s good players. It gives you history of every important game that Spain was part of and the games that were won by them. It would’ve been better if the book had more pictures so I could see the people and the teams. I was still able to visualize what happen during certain events and I also visualize the players. I knew half of the ones mentioned in the book and that helped me more. It was a very interesting and great book about the way soccer was spread all over the world. I enjoyed it and I know whoever else reads the book will enjoy it too.
