Synopsis "Balon Dividido (in Spanish)"

Sin apartarse del principio conductor de Dios es redondo -"el futbol es la recuperación de la infancia"-, los retratos y las crónicas de Balón dividido abarcan a las figuras recientes del balompié actual -Piqué, Messi, Pep Guardiola, Cristiano Ronaldo, los hermanos Boateng- y, entre extraordinarias conexiones con la literatura, la historia y la psicología, como Juan Villoro nos ha acostumbrado, calienta el ambiente para los numerosos y encendidos debates que el futbol siempre concede, sobre todo en años mundialistas. o ¿De qué manera las dificultades entre idiomas condujeron a la invención de las tarjetas con que los árbitros dictan sentencia? o ¿Puede un balón tardar meses en llegar a su destino? o ¿Por qué los húngaros tienen un sentido más filosófico de la derrota que los mexicanos? o ¿Cuál es la función secreta de cada uno de los cuatro silbantes en un partido? o ¿Cómo intervino Javier Aguirre en la mediocre actuación del Tri en Sudáfrica 2010? o ¿Es posible que dos jugadores en épocas distintas anoten del mismo modo el mejor gol de todos los tiempos? o ¿Juegan futbol los muertos? Balón dividido es una divertida guía crítica para auténticos apasionados del "arte de las patadas".
