From "?Vaya pepinazo!" ("what a great big cucumber!"), used by the Spanish to express delight at a particularly impressive long-range, curling shot, to "Cola de vaca" ("cow's tail"), a Mexican term used to describe a player able to repeatedly change direction quickly, this unique book celebrates through more than 200 entries the rich, quirky, and highly imaginative language used to describe the football's different goals, incidents, actions, and tricks.After reading the book's comprehensive collection of terms from more than 14 countries readers will understand that if a German fan describes a goal as a "Wembley-Tor" ("Wembley goal") they think it was somewhat dubious and probably shouldn't have been allowed (in reference to the 1966 World Cup Final) and if you hear an Italian supporter exclaiming "patate!" ("potato!") they are describing a truly emphatic goal scored from long rangeWith entries chosen for the vivid and entertaining imagery they conjure up, this is the first book to explore the global glossary of football.
