Perhaps it's because the country lives and breathes the game, its theories, and its myths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Argentina's rich, volatile history--by turns sublime and ruthlessly pragmatic--is mirrored in the style and swagger of its national and club sides. In \u003ci\u003eAngels with Dirty Faces\u003c\/i\u003e, Jonathan Wilson chronicles the operatic drama of Argentinian soccer: the appropriation of the British game, the golden age of la nuestra, the exuberant style of playing that developed as Juan Perón led the country into isolation; a hardening into the brutal methods of anti-fútbol; the fusing of beauty and efficacy under César Luis Menotti, and the emergence of all-time greats.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bold Type Books","offers":[{"title":"Angels with Dirty Faces: How Argentinian Soccer Defined a Nation and Changed the Game Forever | Jonathan Wilson | Paperback | 9781568585512 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1783168","offer_id":67579638186136,"sku":"1783168","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81--uRD-WiL.jpg?v=1790363661","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/angels-with-dirty-faces-how-argentinian-soccer-defined-a-nation-and-changed-the-game-forever","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
