Nothing exemplifies the spirit and hope of Juarenses more than the Indios, the city's beloved but hard-luck soccer team.

¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos del futbol latinoamericano?¿Se trata, apenas, de una coincidencia geográfica? El futbol latinoamericano no existe ni como un relato único, ni como un desarrollo homogéneo, ni como un modo colectivo de jugarlo o de mirarlo, ni siquiera como un origen común y mucho menos como un destino.
