Del autorLa increíble pasión y el poder del fútbol, el mundo unido como uno. Esta es la historia de Clifford y Olaf, dos grandes superestrellas del fútbol internacional. Sus familias navegan desde Europa en busca de un futuro en él, Nuevo Mundo después de La Primera Guerra Mundial. La frustración por amor de Olaf lo impulsa a unirse a la Werhmacht. Clifford regresa a Inglaterra y a la R.A.F. Un campo de prisioneros de guerra alemán encuentra a Olaf un oficial y Clifford un prisionero de guerra. La miseria de los prisioneros y el dolor de la guerra son olvidados temporalmente por el amor al Balón Mágico. Es indudablemente una linda y gran historia de amor, el mayor poder y fuerza que siempre triunfa contra todo pronóstico. Desde principios de 1900 hasta hoy, el poder del Balón Mágico sigue vibrante y muy vivo. El mundo se une cada cuatro años para ver a las naciones jugar la final de este increíble evento y más a través de los años, en todas partes, en cualquier momento con intensa pasión, aunque alguna guerra podría interrumpirla, pero nunca podrá detenerla. Me regocijé y lloré al escribir esta historia. Espero que mis emociones sean compartidas y que finalmente entendamos que todos pierden en guerras.
