Going back to the past 50 years 10 of the last 13 world cup tournaments were won by Latin Countries.

What is it about the Latin style of soccer that makes them so dominant?

Bruh, you are ignorant, you are referring to Romance languages but trying to lump catennaccio in with jogo bonito and tiki taka.

Soccer is a European sport.  Europeans are generally better at it and their 
Western European domestic leagues are generally better than those of non-European countries.   When speaking about South American culture, colonialism is just part of the conversation, it cannot be avoided.  Although a few South American countries have embraced the soccer as their national pastime, it is not the case for all.  Note Venezuelans are more inclined to follow baseball than anything else, Peru and Paraguay are not seen as soccer hotbed.

Namely Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay in South America are the most dominant countries and produce soccer stars as well as sought after players in all positions.  While each of these countries has won the WC and are consistently expected by their countrymen and pundits to make deep seeded runs in global and continental tournaments, to say Latin countries as a whole are "so dominant" in world soccer is ignorant at best.[/quote]

Italy, Spain and France are very much Latin countries. The country with the most world cup tournament victories is Brazil which is also very much a Latin country.[/quote]

Tracing soccer style to the Roman Empire?  Give me a break.

I am Latino, and the general definition of a Latino is someone from Latin America (South America, Central America and the Caribbean). I am pretty sure the Census defines it the same way. Spain, France and Italy are not Latin American countries.
