Marta, before "that goal"
On the eve of the showdown between Brazil and the US, I thought readers might enjoy looking at a
couple early profiles of Marta - material produced before "that goal" (scored against the US in the
2007 World Cup).
John Turnbull's 2006 profile of the player is one of the best out there:
'Tis the season for tears: The extraordinary, untold story of Marta Viera da Silva (The Global
Game)
Almost everything on Marta tells the same story and was no doubt shaped by her press kit.
