El futbol latinoamericano no existe ni como un relato único, ni como un desarrollo homogéneo, ni como un modo colectivo de jugarlo o de mirarlo, ni siquiera como un origen común y mucho menos como un destino. Narrar una historia de ese futbol exige construir una historia de la complejidad, las divergencias y los desgarramientos que lo fueron inventando.

Soccer has been the world’s most popular sport for the last century, and an irresistible game for political and social leaders seeking shortcuts to the hearts of their people.

The 1923 FA Cup final—aka the White Horse final—was the first football match played at the British Empire Exhibition Stadium. Although best-remembered for non-playing reasons that afternoon marked the historic opening chapter of the stadium’s long and eventful history, of the stadium soon to be known simply as Wembley. Nige Tassell chooses 100 matches—from the well known to the unusual—that have shaped Wembley's legacy and tells a lively and original alternative history of the past 100 years of football, and of Britain.

A New Formation is not a book about football and racism. Jacobs and his co-contributors—including authors Musa Okwonga and Aniefiok Ekpoudom and sports broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye MBE—eschew the standard frameworks of trauma and oppression that are foisted upon Black narratives and seek to move beyond discussions of diversity, identity and representation. Featuring interviews with legendary players such as Ian Wright, Anita Asante and Andy Cole, they draw upon broader social and cultural history to examine Black footballers in contexts larger than themselves.

En este libro, que incorpora treinta nuevos textos, se habla de jugadores y aficionados, entrenadores y presidentes, derrotas y triunfos, de emoción y vergüenza; también del carácter casi cinematográfico de este deporte, de la cuidadosa memoria y el rápido olvido, del patriotismo, la celebración de los goles, los himnos, los andares y gestos llenos de significado. Y vemos el fútbol como lo que seguramente es, en el fondo, para millones de aficionados: un interminable desfile de héroes, villanos, figurantes y gestas, un espectáculo que quizá merece la pena tomarse en serio.
