In the small ex-Portuguese colony of Guinnea-Bissau in West Africa--one of the poorest countries in the world--football is a passion. When boys are not kicking a ball around a dusty pitch barefoot, or watching their favourite Portuguese club play on a communal television set, they find ingenious ways to satisfy their obsession.
