      abstract = {"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"--},
