OverviewEvery language has its sports-related phrases: in English one communicates through metaphors originating in boxing, horse-racing, cricket and even fencing. Why do Argentinians almost exclusively express themselves through football? Dame Bola takes us on a journey through the many intriguing words, phrases and concepts used by Argentinians not only in their football but also in everyday society. The book explores identity and the inextricable link between football and life. Enjoy a deep dive into the cultural, historical and linguistic context of football terminology and the concepts unique to the Argentinian beautiful – and sometimes not so beautiful – game.
