## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good survey on Soccer in Latin America, although heavy on 3 countries and not the whole continent.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019*

A really deep survey of Soccer in Latin America, although the majority of the book is spent chronicling the history of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. Mr Campomar does a good job in waving the histories of most of the nations he talks about with soccer (or futbol) and helps explain the changing tide of all of the countries within their economic, social and political sphere. The more modern chapters get really interesting, as we see the game becoming more interconnected, but the early chapters really lay the foundation for the last 5. Good read, and the chapters, while long, tend to flow really smoothly. Highly recommend.

    Joy to read.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2014*

The book that is long overdue. Major topic for anyone interested in the history of football, and history of South America. Unfortunately very uneven in its content, excellent and informative read up too the '70's and then somehow slips in the quality, seems almost rushed in order  to be delivered for the World Cup. My main problem is that history of some important teams like River Plate, Boca Juniors, Nacional, Penarol, are barely touched, others like Independiente, Racing, and Brazilian teams not even mentioned. With all these omissions  the book will hopefully initiate a slew others that treat the topic of South American football.

    Good but dense book on South American football
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2020*

The history of football (or soccer – this review will use the term “football”) in South American is not only rich with exciting players and teams on the pitch, but also colorful on how much it is intertwined with the politics of the continent’s nations.  This book by Andreas Campomar is a complete, detailed history of the “beautiful game” in that area of the world.While the title does state that the book is about football in Latin American, once the ancient history about the game with the Aztecs is told, football and politics in three South American nations make up the bulk of the material:  Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. While this would not be completely surprising as these three nations have won nine World Cup championships among them, the book does lack material on most of the other nations, with a notable exception of Chile and Columbia, and practically ignores Central American football.  While this can be understood to a degree with the author being a native of Uruguay, this felt to make the book slightly incomplete despite its wealth of research and material.There are times when the reading is slow and difficult as so many details are crammed into a passage, including many names of players that only appear once as that person’s last name. When this was happening, as it especially did when the discussion was about some of the best years for either Brazil or Argentina, I had to slow down and sometimes backtrack because I was getting lost.  Readers who are avid fans of these nations’ team or knowledgeable about the history may not have any trouble with these parts.  However, for a fan who either follows the sport in other parts or the world or is simply a casual fan who wishes to learn more about these legendary national teams, this might become a challenge.However, working one’s way through this is certainly worth the time and effort as the football is rich with history. The most enjoyable section of the book for me was the description of how the Aztecs played the game.  If American fans feel today’s game lacks offense, then they wouldn’t want to know how difficult it was to score at that time.  Other excellent sections of the book include how Uruguay became a soccer powerhouse in the 1930’s and 1940’s, winning two of the first four World Cup tourneys and how Brazil’s rise to power in the 1960s paralleled that of its government.Overall , this book is an excellent source of history on South American football and while at times is a dense and very detailed read, it is one that is recommended for readers who want to learn more about not only the game in the continent, but also about the politics of some of the bigger nations and how they closely related to the success or lack of success by the national football team.
