Fútbol: El Juego Infinito / Football Infinite Game: The New Football as a Symbol of GlobalizationEl futbol es un juego emocionante que, sin embargo, no tiene corazn. No existe ningn otro fenmeno social que, como el futbol, se haya adaptado con ms naturalidad a la globalizacin. A pesar de tratarse de un juego en apariencia tan primitivo y alrgico en su prctica a la tecnologa, se ha incorporado con enorme facilidad a todos los vehculos de comunicacin: prensa, radio, televisin, internet y todas las variables de redes sociales existentes y por venir.

«El futbol es un juego emocionante que, sin embargo, no tiene corazón.»

No existe ningún otro fenómeno social que, como el futbol, se haya adaptado con más naturalidad a la globalización. A pesar de tratarse de un juego en apariencia tan primitivo y alérgico en su práctica a la tecnología, se ha incorporado con enorme facilidad a todos los vehículos de comunicación: prensa, radio, televisión, internet y todas las variables de redes sociales existentes y por venir. En este proceso, se ha convertido en un negocio planetario que explota la emoción, que necesita de héroes y al que ya no le alcanza el resultado para seducir. Un juego de pobres que mueve una industria de ricos.

En Futbol: el juego infinito, Jorge Valdano repasa los diferentes actores que participan en este espectáculo, y describe cómo cada uno de ellos se ha adaptado a esa nueva realidad global del futbol. Cómo el juego en sí mismo ha cambiado, transformando el papel de los entrenadores y de los jugadores, a quienes ha convertido en nuevos héroes planetarios. Explica cómo, en definitiva, el futbol es hoy un negocio sin fronteras que genera una emoción en perpetua renovación, y que convierte a los aficionados en clientes.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Soccer is an exciting game that, nevertheless, has no heart."

There is no other social phenomenon like soccer that has adapted more naturally to globalization. Despite its appearance as a primitive game that is practically alergic to technology, it has been incorporated with ease into all means of communication: print, radio, television, Internet, and all the variations of social networks that are around now and in the future. And in this process, it has become a global business that plays on emotion, that needs heroes, and that never ceases to seduce. A poor man's game that moves a rich man's industry.

Not the same rubber.
I just received these today. I already have two of the same size direct from the local pet store. The one thing I liked about them that made me want to buy more - my 13lb dog could chew on them all night and never leave a mark. The red one I received was as expected. The blue one I received was not made out of the same rubber. It was softer. We played catch a few times and it didn’t bounce the same. I looked away for 5 minutes and she had it already starting to shred. Not sure what happened but 1 of the 2 balls I was sent was not up to par, possibly defective.

Great
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
I need something that was soft for my three year old and this ball is super great, it not only is the right size but it also fits in his mouth just right. Although he is a super aggressive chewer, the ball toy hasn't been totally destroyed yet and it is easy on his gums. The ball is so durable that got two of these toys just for fun.

The best!
UPDATE: 08/05/2025 - This is still one of my dog's 2 fav training/play toys. A couple of notes: 1. This is not a chew toy. If your pup is chewing up the rope, that's on you. That being said, you can get 100' of the poly cord rope at Home Depot for like $4.98. You can make nearly 100 ropes out of 100'. How hard is it to replace the rope????? 2. My pup is a now 15 month old Malinois. His original balls, purchase in September 2024 are still in everyday, multiple times per day, play. I did get careless and leave one where he got it and chew the rope. Easily replaced. Nothing to fret over. Yes, that was on me! 3.The foam ball is virtually indestructible! Replace the rope! 4. I noticed the price for the yellow large went from $12 each to $24. THIS will cause me to go elsewhere if they doubled in price. I LOVE these balls but not that much. I noticed they have a new yellow ball that has a strap vs. a rope. I might try that if I need one, but I have 6 of these balls, 2 never used yet, 2 that are virtually new looking, and 2 that have been in play since september 2024. I don't think I'll be buying more any time soon, but if I do need more, I hope they haven't gone up to $24 each. One of my top, go-to training tools. Quality is great other than the shrink wrap around the string joint. It's junk but not essential. Great tug and fetch toy. Essential to teaching a good "out" command (2 are recommended for this).

Best dog ball
This is our go to dog toy for our German shepherd. its great for training in sports as well as outings at the beach, considering it floats! Never had him destroy one, so its extremely durable. I like that its a bright color so its easier to locate when i accidently let go of the rope too late and end up whipping it 20 ft into the woods. Easy to clean, all around just a great toy. Also love the large size as having a dog accidently lodge a ball into its throat is a real fear of mine, I do not have to worry about that with this toy. I should also mention the rope is a must, as touching a slobbery ball isn't the greatest feeling in the world and it puts your hands out of harms way. I will forever order these.
