520    "The definitive book about the national identities, heroes,
       and dramatic stories from Latin American soccer throughout
       history-in time for the 2014 World Cup. "Golazo!" means 
       "amazing goal!" And the word perfectly captures the unique,
       exuberant, all-encompassing, passionate role that soccer 
       plays in Latin America. Andreas Campomar offers readers 
       the definitive history of Latin American soccer from the 
       early, deadly MesoAmerican ballgames to the multi-billion 
       dollar international business it is today. Golazo! 
       explores the intersection of soccer, politics, economics, 
       high and low culture, and how passion for a game captured 
       a continent. Latin American soccer will be in the global 
       spotlight more than ever in the coming years-both the next
       World Cup (2014) and the Summer Olympics (2016) will be 
       hosted in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, a country for which 
       soccer is not just a passion but a way of life. The 
       triumphs, the heartbreaks, the origins and the future, the
       political and the personal-Golazo! is the perfect book for
       new fans and diehard followers around the world"--
