En Colombia, Arnoldo Iguarán es un verdadero héroe del fútbol. Nadie ha logrado lo que él. Iguarán es el máximo goleador de la historia de la selección de su país, con 25 anotaciones. Lo mencionan como uno de los jugadores a ocupar la selección ideal colombiana. Nadie hubiera pensado que ese niño que naciera en un poblado de Guajira, departamento de Colombia, llegaría tan lejos. Y es que su amor por el fútbol que nació cuando tenía 8 años, lo llevaría a ganar campeonatos con uno de los equipos más famosos de su país: "Millonarios". "Ya se retiró de las canchas, pero sigue activo en la escuela que se llama como él. Por cierto, la Academia Arnoldo Iguarán ha sido elegida como la escuela más importante de formación deportiva de Colombia.
In Colombia, the name of Arnoldo Iguarán evokes a respect that approaches veneration. Iguarán is the all-time leading scorer for Colombia's National Team: in 68 games between 1979 and 1993, he tallied 25 times. One of those goals helped Colombia beat Brazil to bring home the 1991 Copa América championship. Iguarán played his last professional game in 1997. But he has continued to contribute to the game and the nation he loves. The Arnoldo Iguarán Academia de Fútbol gives Colombian kids age 4 to 18 the opportunity to play soccer under the tutelage of experts, including the school's namesake. One day, a graduate of the academy may net a goal that brings another Copa América--or perhaps even a World Cup--to Colombia.
The story of the most remarkable--and controversial--World Cup triumph in history, told in a long-awaited firsthand account from Diego Maradona, its most legendary player. "This is Diego Armando Maradona speaking, the man who scored two goals against England and one of the few Argentines who knows how much the World Cup actually weighs" In June 1986, Diego Maradona--one of soccer's greatest and most polarizing figures--proudly hoisted the World Cup above his head. Since then, Argentina's World Cup victory has become the stuff of legend, particularly their infamous victory over England--only four years after the country's defeat in the Falklands War--which featured arguably the best goal in history (Maradona's "Goal of the Century") and the worst (the notorious "Hand of God"). But Argentina's victory came after months of struggle and discord within the team, including the Argentine government's attempt to remove the team's management, a lack of equipment that forced the players to buy their own uniforms, and an argument that caused the team's captain to quit on the eve of the tournament. Now, thirty years after Argentina's magical victory, Maradona tells his side of the story, vividly recounting how he led the team to win one of the greatest World Cup triumphs of all time.
Pablo Escobar had one obsession. Not drugs, not money, not power... football. Narcoball uncovers the incredible story of Colombian football during the early 1990s - shaped by drug lords, rivalries, and ambition. It uncovers a football empire backed by cartels - where victory was a currency of its own, and defeat, a matter of life and death. This is a different story of Pablo Escobar and his rivals. A tale of clandestine deals that reshaped Medellin's football clubs, where fortunes were won and lost. It unveils the extraordinary bonds that Escobar forged with football's luminaries and why his influence reached unprecedented heights, leading to the astonishing 5-0 victory over Argentina in Buenos Aires, the murder of referees, and the ruthless coercion of officials culminating in the killing of Andrés Escobar - the Colombian defender who paid the ultimate price for an own goal in the 1994 World Cup. It is also an examination of a people's relationship with both the sport and the nefarious leaders that brought both pride and terror to their communities. Set against the U.S War on Drugs, international threats, and government clampdowns, this is a gripping exploration of Colombian club football under Escobar's rise and fall.
