LINGERIE ELSA:

THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR LIFE

What are you doing?

No idea. Everybody does it.

Supposed to bring luck.

And the game starts.

"Mangy" Cuevas passes to Amadeo,

who passes back to Ferrero.

Ferrero a right to Hormona

Dominguez, who's not paying attention

Double-axle calls, asks,

begs for it, finally she reacts.

- He centers it back to Quintana.

- My son!

The priest shows up on the left

- Father!

- Center it!

- Cut in!

- Shoot!

- Two short, one long.

- Shoot!

Long pass to Gonzalez.

McAntony intercepts without

even mussing his hair

Long pass to Sampietro.

Assaidi rushes up,

to Van der Luvin.

Back to Ayrton, deep to Assaidi,

a set-up for Bubaye.

They leave the priest

and Kracorian behind.

Steadies the ball!

A cross deflected to the net.

Got it, got it, got it!

I don't got it!

Goal!

Goal!

El Grosso makes the score 1-0

by the 1st minute of play.

Come on, guys! There's still

89 and a half minutes left.

Amadeo kicks off to Cueva,

Cueva to Ferrero.

Ferrero to "Speedy",

who has an open field

"Speedy" runs off.

Wait a moment! This is unheard of!

The Deputy Commissioner trips

and serves up a counter

attack on silver platter

A hard, high kick by Assaidi.

Bubaye receives it. Emo Kracorian

clings to him like a nettle

It's a feast for

Absoluto Sports Club.

El Grosso stops it with his heel.

He shows it, dribbles, kicks,

spins. Rabona cross-kick.

Bubaye shoots

Crossbar! By a miracle!

I got it, I got it!

- Boot it out!

- I'm buying time.

- But we're losing!

- 1 - 0, not more.

- They're ignoring me.

- Guys...

All week preparing,

and now this! Amadeo!

Here, Eusebio!

Eusebio clears it wide

looking for Amadeo.

El Grosso intercepts that

pitiful pass and advances.

Gets past Ferrero

Marvellous loft over the defense.

Time, referee!

Goal by el Grosso!

Oh, please! Goalie's error!

Goal!

No, it's too easy.

This game's a massacre.

- Not engaging.

- Boring.

What are you doing?

What? I'm destroying them.

Don't destroy them so easily.

There's no suspense.

What do I care?

I'll bombard them with goals.

There's the whole 2nd-half for that.

Dance awhile. Have fun.

Don't forget, after all,

this is a business.

That's a sin, you animal!

Didn't touch him. It was the ball.

Double-axle, you Ok?

Beto doesn't know this situation.

Beto knows triumph, glory, applause.

He has no words for this.

I too am out of aphorisms.

What's it called when

you'll do anything?

What's it called when

the rules don't matter?

When what matters is friendship,

our home, standing up for each other.

And the 'me'. Don't forget the self.

What's it called when you

know there's only one option?

Winning.

What's it called?

It's called:

Passion!

Boys! They're calling us!

Follow me!

Bubaye advances.

A real nightmare

for the mid-fielders

Bubaye in control of the ball

Sidesteps Father

Leguizamon's reach...

for his chance to score!

Bubaye collapses inexplicably.

Keep calm. It's alright.

The game is over.

The WAR just started!

Renewed attack by Absoluto.

Through the "Emo" Tunnel.

Come on!

McAntony gets it and

passes to Grosso.

Hold on! They advance in control.

Hang on! He prepares to shoot!

This'll be an execution by

firing squad. A massacre!

El Grosso sets up his shot.

The defense is unable to block him

He won't be denied

He lets fly an impressive right foot!

Oh, stunning save by Carmio!

A monumental let-down!

This'll keep him up at night!

- Useless!

- Come on!

The home team coming up the right

in their 2nd attempt

to cross the midfield.

Double-axle shoots!

Sends the ball into orbit!

Look, Loco!

Who'd have thought

we'd get this high?

I can't go back to foosball, Capi.

- Ok, shall we go?

- Alright.

The ball drops,

the action resumes.

Assaidi attempts a header...

What happened?

Get up!

Get back in the game, coward.

Don't anyone dare shoot.

Just follow my lead!

You're here because of me.

Don't you forget it.

Watch out! 'Speedy' Navarro

steals the ball.

Gives it to Cuevas.

Mendiguri intercepts...

but makes a beginner's error

Navarro fakes. Centers it to Emo.

Foul! Against Grosso!

For the first time, the

home team has come close

Not even a yellow card?!

He should be jailed for that!

Amadeo!

Amadeo kicks.

The ball flies over "The Wall"

Towards the goalie.

An easy save for Said.

Goal! Goal! Incredible!

Yes, yes, goal!

Goal for the town team!

Amadeo Gonzalez with a free kick.

An incomprehensible

mistake by the goalie!

You Ok, Cordovan?

The horror, bro. The horror!

No victory songs, yet.

This is just the start.

Come on, you useless lot!

Grosso puts the ball in play and

- discusses strategy with Assaidi.

- Where you going, stupid?

Eusebio gets the ball.

Assaidi chases him.

Eusebio shoots it forward

it slips by McAntony.

Ayrton mis-steps.

"Mangy" gets it

Dubigny blocks his shot.

"Speedy" appears out of nowhere

You can't elude that wimp.

"Speedy" to Amadeo. Danger!

He does a belly-flop

thanks to Mendiguri.

Amadeo.

What are you doing here?

Kick it around easy, Amadeo.

We'll take care of the rest.

The Malparittis got some

wicked barbed wire.

No!

No tripping, no traps!

None of that.

Are you crazy?

You'll lose the town!

We're going to win. Properly!

You'll lose everything.

The town, Laura.

We'll beat them!

With what team?

That team!

Take that! Come on!

Guys! Let's go back!

Hormona takes it.

Perfect block by Armando.

"Speedy" receives.

Pass to the Deputy Commissioner,

then back to "Speedy"

A devastating cross!

Here comes "Mangy"

An utter jungle of legs!

Goal!

Goal!

Goal for the town team!

The home team evens the score...

with an impossible

diving head-butt by Emo Kracorian

'Emo'tive!

'Emo'tional !

- How much longer?

- 7 minutes.

- How much longer?

- 7.

What happened? I didn't see.

How much longer?

7 more. 7 ! Lemme alone!

The home team defies them to win

Look out! Carmio and the defenders

abandon their posts and go after the ball

The town's heroic effort, seores!

Again to Amadeo.

Again "Speedy" on the right

How this team passes!

"Speedy" overtakes the

Commissioner, on the inside

A scoring opportunity!

Cross and goal! Cross and goal!

Amadeo fires at the corner

Crossbar! Crossbar!

Would've been the winning goal!

A criminal kick by El Grosso

on Amadeo's humanity...

that the referee didn't notice.
