Treinta y seis años después, milagro: la selección peruana regresa a un mundial de fútbol. El periodista Toño Angulo echa la mirada atrás y, con la excusa del fútbol, hace un delicioso repaso a las filias y fobias que le despierta su país: en este relato hay derrotas, goles milagrosos, reflexiones estéticas, supersticiones caseras, mucha ternura y un sueño: que el nuevo Perú respondón e ilusionante no se quede solo en la cancha de juego.

No sé si el fútbol es como la vida, pero a veces se solapan. Todas las historias merecen ser contadas. Las del desamor y también las derrotas. Un estadio como metáfora de la existencia.

El ruido de las máquinas que arreglan el césped, el chasquido disciplinado de los escobones en las gradas, el acople del micrófono en la prueba de la megafonía. Somos el estadio vacío a la espera del gran momento.

From then on, the Yankees became a golden team. And the Red Sox? For more than 80 years, they just couldn’t win another World Series. Then, in 2004, along came a scruffy, scrappy Red Sox team.

My childhood had been cool enough. Horses and four-wheelers to ride, farmland to explore, good friends. The one blemish: a school bus bully. A year older and always bigger, this guy we'll call "Larry" started picking on me around kindergarten - flipping my ear, frogging my leg, reminding me how much of a wimp I was - and I let him get away with it. With literally hundreds of chances (every miserable ride to and from school), I never fought back. And while I’d done a stint in the military, earned a fancy degree, and started a family, I was always haunted by the lingering shame.

El Murcia ha visto mucha España, excesiva, y eso ha traído consecuencias: hay aficionados del Murcia a los que ya no les queda España por ver, hay aficionados del Murcia que ya han marcado todas las casillas.
