"Dark goals" tells how personalities like Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Pablo Escobar, Joseph Stalin, Jorge Videla or Augusto Pinochet have used football to improve their image and distract the people from their atrocities. Bribes, death threats, assassinations and bombings are some of the cruel tools adopted by dictators and drug traffickers to take over football, to win games and tournaments and manipulate the passion of the crowds. Despots and politicians of the 20th century got into the game not for fun, but for convenience.
They manipulated all kinds of situations in order to obtain advantages for their regimes.

Without abandoning the remarkable sporting feats, heroes and outstanding records, "The most incredible Olympic stories" emphasizes the most surprising curiosities and anecdotes that, at the same time, amuse and pose a more human profile of the protagonists. Many of the stories are based on situations generated by politics, economics or complex sports regulations. Others, of countless eventualities. Like any other "normal" person, elite athletes, modern "gods of the Olympus," suffer injuries and illnesses, robberies, lost luggage at airports, get drunk, hit rivals or referees, fall in love, get married or divorce, have children, fall asleep or lose some essential component of their competition equipment. Some succumb to the power of money, others prefer not to sell their honor.
They also live adventures that seem designed by Hollywood scriptwriters: a target shooting champion who lost his right hand in the war and educated his left-one to win the gold medal; an exhausted marathoner who had to run quickly in the opposite direction for more than a kilometer chased by a fierce dog; a Portuguese runner who was hit by a car, and ten days later won the Los Angeles marathon, with record included; a sailor who left his career to rescue two drowning rivals; an athlete with two penises; a shooter ejected from the Olympic team for his noisy farts and a twin who replaced her sister star are just some of the more than 400 stories that feed this powerful cocktail of Olympic adventures.

"Why is football played eleven against eleven?"
explains a hundred mysteries related to the origin and evolution of the most popular sport on the planet. Why eleven players and not nine, ten or fifteen?

What motivated the emergence of the referee, his whistle, his cards? Who invented the penalty, who the definition by penalties? Who created the goal nets? Why do we say "goal", "derby" or "hooligan"? Why do the champions receive a cup and not another object? Written in a friendly and flamboyant language, this book not only offers answers to all these enigmas, but also includes incredible situations that forced to reconsider the rules, as the case of a footballer who scored a goal ... without having stepped on the pitch!
