Here we are in the match.

The American team owns the football field.

They pretend to pass the ball to their opponents.

Like saying:

"You can have it, kiss it."

They own the soccer field.

The Mexican team looks desperate.

They're giving it their all, but the American players

are moving from one side to the other

and the Mexicans are not getting the ball.

The Mexican team is playing hard.

That was a foul! The American got hurt for sure.

He was almost flying.

The game is restarting now.

The American team has the ball again.

The ball is kicked hard.

The defense gets the ball. He starts to tap it.

He takes it to midfield but he loses it right away.

The American team is in charge.

They're controlling the action on the field.

Another foul!

They really screwed it up this time.

They start to tap the ball but they lose it soon after.

They can't put two moves together.

The Mexican team isn't playing well.

The American team is in charge.

Spectators are desperate.

Their discomfort and annoyance is obvious.

They own the soccer field. They own the ball.

They have a strategy and more skills.

They're playing quick...

with long shots and individual technique.

There are some mid kicks.

McAllister is coming from the other side.

He kicks the ball into the area.

The Mexican team kicks it but it's not effective.

The Mexican team isn't awake yet.

He gets the ball.

He owns it and...

Red card!

Hey, he almost killed him!

- He deserves a red card! - He's faking it!

- He's not faking it, uncle! - He didn't do anything.

Are you blind, referee?

Accept it, uncle.

He didn't show him any card.

What a bad referee.

I'll give him the number of my eye doctor.

The game is restarting now.

Annoyance and discomfort are evident.

Pass it. Pass it.

The Americans are in charge.

He's got it again.

They kick it and they move along

from one side to the other.

The ball is kicked into the area.

The Mexican team gets it back.

- Here he comes! - Go, spin.

Fiera is coming.

Go, right there.

A drag and then a cutback. He aims and... goal!

Goal!

Goal!

- What a great goal! - Goal!

What a goal, what a goal!

Goal, goal!

Goal, goal!

See that? See that, uncle?

In your face, uncle!

A great own goal.

Who's laughing now, uncle?

Remember: if I watch the Mexican team play,

- they don't lose. - They don't lose.

What can I say, uncle? I'm their lucky charm.

Lucky charm.

Stop!

Matches last 90 minutes.

- What's the score? - One, one.

- How did it go? - Good. Oh, I missed the goal.

Hello, uncle. Hi, honey.

What's the score?

- Baby... - What about those--?

I'm so glad you're here.

Now that you've arrived,

could you run to the store to get another bottle?

Poncho sucked it like a sponge.

No.

No, baby, I'm tired. I was working.

Go, darling.

I'll go with you.

He was hit badly.

The American player was flying.

The game is restarting.

Who scored the goal?

Mrs. Lupita, the apartment is awesome.

I envy you.

Living with other people is tough.

I know.

It's close to a park so it has a great location.

I think that one day we can even have a dog.

Right? Wow, this looks tasty.

Isn't the match over?

That's it, that's it!

Go ahead, kill them!

Mr. Pancho, how are you doing?

A bottle of tequila, please.

The referee is blowing the final whistle.

Yes. Yes, sir.

It's a draw.

Sing and don't cry Because by singing

They're brightened up Darling, our hearts

- Hurrah for Mexico! - Yes, sir!

That explains our bad situation nowadays.

So mediocre. Such an underdeveloped mentality.

Now you're going to celebrate a draw.

Come on.

Don't be so bitter, uncle. Just accept that you lost.

I didn't lose.

It was a tie.

For an American with some dignity. Not for me. It's a tie for me.

You lost because I said it would be a tie.

You must pay then.

There you go.

Thank you, uncle.

Oh, dear God.

Don't forget that when Mariano Cárdenas

watches the Mexican team, they don't lose.

The second leg hasn't been played yet.

And then we will tear you apart.

What? Will you go for payback?

Or are you too afraid?

Please stop fighting.

If you continue swearing, please go somewhere else.

Do you want me to serve dinner?

Please take mine to my room.

I'm not feeling well.

Didn't you say that the American team would win, uncle?

You were sure about it. That happens for being a traitor, a bad supporter.

All you have to do now is help those damn Gringos to build their wall!

Being a good loser. Suffering for your defeat...

Go suffer for your defeat somewhere else.

Stop it!

Just to show you that I'm nice,

I won't be glad about your defeat, uncle.

We are broadcasting from the neighborhood

where Fiera Sanabria

was first seen kicking a humble ball of rags.

His mastery could be seen from those early days.

Here we are at the neighborhood

with all these people who are celebrating the tie.

In the back, we can see some celebrities.

Let's see if we can talk to them.

We won!

What's up?

What do you think? Did you see that goal?

Darling, darling! We won!

Baby, we won!

No, no, wait. Wasn't it a tie?

That's what I mean, baby. We won.

See, darling?

- Sir, a word please? - What?

An interview, please.

But... but... what channel will I be on?

For what channel?

Just in Mexico. All of Mexico will see you.

Great.

You're Fiera Sanabria's father.

He's a national idol.

As his father, what do you want to say?

The only thing I can say is that after this game,

we must improve here in Mexico City, right?

Sure.

One question.

Will Mexico be at the World Cup?

Well, of course we'll be there.

Am I right, my friends?

- Hurrah for Mexico! - Hurrah for Mexico!

- Ask your wife for the bottle. - Yes.

Hey...

Don't leave her alone, man. Don't ignore her.

- Can I ask a favor? - Sure.

Stay out of it.

You can't tell me how to treat Luz Dary.

Alright, alright. No problem.

Baby, and the bottle?

Oh, good.

Go home now.

Things will get ugly in here. There are many drunk people.

- Many what? - Many drunk people.

Including yourself.

Look, I saw you, I saw you. Careful.

Careful, Mariano.

- I'll see you home later. - Yes, baby.

How can people get so dumb because of soccer?

I'm just worried that Pedro might get a heart attack

because he suffers a lot in every match.

The doctor told him that he must be careful.

But he just doesn't listen.

Poor girl.

What a sad life.

Do you think it's different from the one we had to live?

I don't know.

Sometimes I think that Rafael's death

may he rest in peace...

made his memories nicer

because at least we are in our country,

with our people.

But her...

she's all alone in Mexico.

Well, you're right.

Next!

EVERY DOCUMENT MUST HAVE DATE AND BE SEALED

Good morning.

A notarized copy of your birth certificate.

A notarized copy of my birth certificate?

Nobody mentioned that.

Do you have it or not?

No, I don't.

I've been standing in line for four hours

and nobody told me anything.

- Who's next? - Wait, please.

I'll go home to fetch my birth certificate

and I'll bring it.

Please let me continue working. Please?

- Next? - Listen.

Please show some respect.

I'm here to pay the government some money.

Don't talk to me like that. Jerk.

That explains this country's situation.

Dumbass.

See that grouchy man?

He just wants to take it out on us.

Damn!

I'm out to a meeting with the congressman.

That doesn't mean

that you can start a party here at the office.

No, don't worry.

What a hangover, Cárdenas!

I can smell your alcohol breath from here.

Oh, Cárdenas.

Get your act together.

I don't want to get any other complaints about you.

Are people complaining about me?

Of course they complain.

Do your best.

Don't give me any more reasons, Cárdenas.

Because I would really like to let you go.

Really... really.

See you later, gentlemen.

- What's up? - Jerk! I'm fed up.

- They won't open until tomorrow. - Don't worry.

I got you the suadero meat tacos you like.

Thanks, I'll have dinner at home.

No, hey! It's not possible.

- What? - I can't stay, Poncho.

- Mariano! - Poncho, I feel awful.

Don't you believe me?

I went to the doctor.

Look. I was given a sick leave.

Look.

My blood pressure was low.

I almost fainted, you can't imagine.

I still have cold sweat. I feel bad. I swear.

The doctor told me to rest.

No way. Don't give me that excuse.

- Poncho. - Be fair, Mariano.

I can't stand in line here all night long!

You can also sit down.

Poncho, listen.

Who paid for the tickets?

You did, Mariano. But just for that reason?

So? Let's be fair.

Besides... I told you to buy the tickets online

a long time ago and you didn't do it.

That's life.

Some of us have the money, some others do the job.

Some of us are the bosses, some others have to sweat it.

You're in the second group, Poncho.

Tomorrow I'll bring you that torta de tamal.

Thanks.

Oh, baby!

Baby! Oh, darling!

I love you. I love you!

Don't make so much noise!

- Now, baby. Here it comes! - Don't stop, don't stop!

I love you, I love you, I love you...

Go, baby, go.

I love you, baby. I love you.

Oh, God, oh, God.

Yes, yes, yes!

Yes, yes!

No, no, no, no!

Not inside! No, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, God.

Oh, God...

Oh, God.

You're just looking for trouble, aren't you?

If we're not careful, I might get pregnant one day...

to top it off.

You know what? I would like to have a son.

It's about time, baby.

But... I'll teach him very early how to play soccer.

Can you imagine?

What if that's the solution?

He could learn the technique from the beginning.

Then we make him practice.

After a while,

he could become Mexico's best player.

And then, we could sell him to the European leagues.

That means tons of money.

That would be it for us, baby!

Lionel.

His name will be Lionel...

or Cristiano...

or Lionel Cristiano.

Spain... that's our future.

Wait, wait. Stop dreaming, honey.

- What? - What do you mean?

We must first talk to Mr. Vicente.

Baby, that apartment is very nice

and you haven't completed the loan request.

We won't have the chance then.

Our future is somewhere else.

In Colombia?

Do you want us to go to Colombia?

- No, no, baby. - So?

Listen.

Our future is thinking big.

OK, think big, but not here.

I can't... I can't wait anymore.

I'm tired of being here, Mariano.

Listen, Luz Dary.

Is there anything you don't have?

Is there anything you need? Tell me.

No, no.

It's just... that's not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying

is that we need a house of our own.

We've been saving for a long time.

But, baby, all of this is yours.

No, you're wrong. No.

I don't even know how to explain.

Luz Dary...

I have the highest position I can at my office.

Remember that I didn't go to college.

What do I have to do?

Put up with my boss my whole damn life.

You don't know how hard it is for me to look through that little window

and see those never ending lines of people.

Day after day...

without the hope of a change.

I want something else for you, Luz Dary.

I want to give you what you deserve

and treat you like a queen, damn it!

Don't react like that.

It bothers me, it bothers me. Don't you think I suffer too?

Don't you think I feel bad when I realize...

that my life is going nowhere?

When I realize that this is it for me.

A man without hope or future.

Let's see.

Do you really want to have a child?

I don't want a child, Luz Dary.

I want a soccer star.

The future Messi...

Cristiano...

Fiera Sanabria.

Trust me, darling.

Please, baby.

I swear I'll do anything

so that you don't miss your country...

to give you everything you want...

To make you the happiest woman in the world.

Will you give me that chance, baby?

Please, darling?

I love you.

Mariano, I wanted to ask...

since we have to pay the property tax...

Again? Damn it.

Payments and more payments.

Son, you should be more considerate.

Your uncle Pedro can't afford all the house expenses.

What about the money I give him every month?

That barely covers food expenses.

I should pay some monthly installments for an apartment then.

At least it would be mine.

Why don't you do it?

Stay out of it, uncle. It's none of your business.

I'm sorry, Mariano. It's everyone's business.

When you are bored with the life you're living,

you try to change it.

Easier said than done...

when you make excuses not to do anything.

You just criticize and bother the others.

Mariano, please.

Mom, let's be honest.

Uncle has been living for free for the last few years

with the excuse that he has a heart condition.

Right, uncle? That's the truth!

Son! Show some respect to your uncle!

That would be asking for too much.

Lupita, please...

One of these days you'll kill him because you make him mad.

You're not considerate.

We're leaving that house, baby.

I'll ask for my work benefits,

we'll use the money from the savings account

and we'll give the down payment to Mr. Vicente.

Honey, are you sure?

What did I tell you last night, darling?

Yes, but you have promised many things

that you haven't delivered.

Yes, baby. But things are different this time.

I don't know what I'll have to do, baby.

I'll get that loan to pay for the apartment entirely.

Trust me, darling.

You'll see that sooner or later we'll be in our new home.

You're with Mariano Cárdenas, baby.

- Darling, drop me off here. - Yes.

Bye, baby.

- See you later. - Be careful, darling.

Beautiful!

Gorgeous!

Bye!

- What do you think? - You're a very bad supporter.

You're like that just because they're foreigners.

Statistics don't count. It's eleven against eleven.

That's what you think.

Statistics are very important in these matches.

Statistics were made to be changed.

To be changed.

You said it yourself. To be changed.

So you're giving some value to statistics.

You must admit that in the last few years

American soccer has evolved more than Mexican soccer.

Uncle, you're confident

that those damn Gringos will win, right?

- Absolutely. - Alright.

And I need a payback.

What do you say if we bet a high amount of money?

A high amount? Come on...

Don't make me laugh.

What? I bet 1000 pesos that Mexico will win

and the Americans will be left out.

A thousand pesos? Don't be stupid.

We'll talk about it

when you have a dime to your name.

"A high amount..." We'll bet our usual 500 pesos.

I have saved some money for the apartment

that I'm going to buy for Luz Dary.

- I'll bet it. - Hey, hey! No way!

That money isn't only yours.

Listen, I can't afford that.

My pension barely covers my expenses.

And with so many scroungers around...

- Are you afraid, uncle? - Stop it.

What? Are you afraid, uncle?

You're a coward, aren't you?

Are you afraid because I will win?

I'll bet it on the house.

- This house is my mom's. - It's like your own, uncle.

Right, grandma?

It's very easy, uncle.

If you win, the money is yours.

If you lose, you deed the house to me.

Mariano, you heard uncle. The house is not his.

- Don't insist. - Aren't you listening?

He's very confident that the American will win.

Are you confident that we are going to win?

Go ahead, uncle.

Let's bet the house on it.

You'll sort things out with grandma later.

So? Are you a coward, as usual?

I'm not surprised, uncle.

You always pretend you're the best, right?

Alright.

Enough. Stop the nonsense.

The house isn't yours and you can't use that money.

I'll bet on one condition.

If I win, I'll keep the money and both of you will leave.

- What? Why me? - Deal.

But also the other way around.

If we win, you'll have to leave.

The house would be yours.

It's a gentlemen's agreement.

Deal. Like gentlemen.

Wow, boss, I think you're wrong.

Honestly, what match did you see?

Mexico was the best.

We killed the Americans. Come one!

Don't say stupid things.

Nowadays, the US team is better.

- Admit it, Mariano. - Better? For God's sake!

What are you saying? They can't be better.

Mexico was better.

We didn't win because of the referee.

Wait and see what will happen at the Azteca.

Mexico won't be classified. It won't.

- It won't. - No?

Listen, boss.

You're confident that the Americans will win, right?

Yes, absolutely.

Are you confident enough to make a bet?

A bet with someone who doesn't have a dime?

Someone who could only afford a sandwich?

In your face, jerk!

Well, believe it or not... I have some savings.

Let's bet on the match.

How much are we talking about?

You want to know how much?

You're writing it down so he doesn't see?

That's a considerable amount, Cárdenas.

What, boss?

Don't tell me you don't have that amount.

You're always surrounded

by high officials and congressmen.

Just look at your suit... your expensive watch...

Boss, come on.

Considering your salary, this is nothing.

Listen, I have it.

But betting it on a soccer match...

I don't know.

Listen, I'll make things easier for you.

We can deposit the money in Gutiérrez's account.

On Monday, we'll give the money to the winner.

What do you think?

- No. - What, boss?

Don't disappoint me.

Boss, I thought you were a badass.

I thought you didn't fear anything.

Now I see that when the time comes, you back out.

That's not it, Cárdenas. Stop messing around.

- Stop messing around, Mariano. - So what?

I apologize if I offended you, but

I thought that you were up to it...

but now I know that when someone is afraid

it's better to avoid problems...

Afraid? Afraid, jerk?

Deal, we'll bet.

- Come on, Gutiérrez. - Wow, cool!

I knew that my boss wouldn't disappoint me.

Let's bet and deposit the money into Gutiérrez's account.

May the best win, boss.

What a great boss I have.

How cool is this?

Someone else fell for it.

You are nuts. No kidding, man!

- Cárdenas? - Yes, boss?

I need you to stay tonight to update the monthly records.

- Tonight, boss? - Yes, sir.

Unless you prefer to come Sunday?

No, on Sunday? Sunday is sacred.

You know I have already bought the tickets for the match.

I don't give a damn about that.

Do it tonight, then.

Remember: if you want to keep your job,

on Monday, first thing in the morning

I want those records on my desk.

Remember that you have been reported twice.

A third report means a red card.

I warned you, jerk.

Hello, darling.

Hello, baby.

Guess what I'm wearing tonight.

Baby, this isn't a good time.

What happened?

Nothing. Problems, baby.

No, no, baby.

Don't tell me you were leaving the bank

with all that money...

Oh, no!

No, no, don't worry.

No, I gave Mr. Vicente the money.

I just had an argument with my boss.

He made me work tonight.

What time will you be home then?

I don't know, baby. I have a lot of work.

And our plans for tonight?

I know, baby. What can I do?

Either I have to stay tonight or come to work on Sunday.

You know that I have already bought the match tickets.

Thanks for joining me.

Cheers!

Absolutely.

Everyone at your house is very nice.

I'm having a great time.

Me too.

Let me show you how Colombian women dance.

You just have to hold me like this...

Listen, Gutiérrez. You just don't get it.

I swear to God.

If for any reason I can't go to the stadium to see our team,

we always lose.

But when I'm at the stadium supporting our team,

I swear to God we win.

- No kidding. - I mean it.

Honestly, I have never ever seen Mexico lose

at the Azteca Stadium.

That's how things are.

Listen, Mariano. Let's just finish this soon.

It's very late

and you're just talking about that damn game.

You know what, man? I have to go.

Mariano, we have to deliver this on Monday.

Yes, I know.

But I have a very important commitment.

I'll finish later.

I'm great at working under pressure.

Careful, Cárdenas.

Our boss wasn't kidding.

I'll deal with him later.

The most important thing now

is to celebrate my anniversary with Luz Dary.

I want to give her the celebration she deserves.

I don't even know why I'm here, man.

You're in charge now. Work hard, man.

- See you later. - But...

I know how to dance. I was kidding.

But I have to practice a bit...

I'm not used to drinking that much.

You made me drink too much.

Oh, no.

You look very beautiful... when you are happy.

How do you know that I'm happy?

Your eyes.

Your eyes tell me that.

Oh, we're here. Pay the driver.

Pay, pay.

Where were you?

I was at the bar with Poncho.

I was there and I didn't find you.

Maybe we just missed each other.

I arrived over an hour ago.

We went to grab a bite.

You could've called me.

I haven't received the cell phone yet.

Talk to those people.

They've had your phone for over a week now.

Do you think I'm stupid or what?

Are you jealous of your brother?

No, but I'm upset.

I left the office before finishing.

I went to look for you. I didn't find you.

Really? I'm more upset than you.

I got my hair and nails done. I got a nice dress.

I got ready to celebrate our anniversary,

but you preferred to work late

because you must go to a match on Sunday.

So you decided to go party because of that?

I need to have some fun, Mariano!

I need to do something! Dancing and having fun!

I'm tired of being stuck at home.

Do that with me!

No, sir.

You don't get to yell at me.

Sorry, baby.

Baby, I'm sorry.

Many things went through my head.

You look really beautiful.

You got it for tonight, right?

You know what the problem is? I'm crazy about you.

I don't feel like it, Mariano.

Good night.

I haven't had time. I haven't been with her.

She loves dancing and I had too much work.

She told me that you guys went dancing.

Dancing, of course.

Man, I felt for her. She was waiting for you, bro.

We went to dance together. That was it.

- What did she say? - Nothing, man.

She said she's tired of being stuck at home.

All those things that women say.

- What did you tell her? - Well... what do you think?

I spent the whole night

saying wonderful things about you.

That's my buddy.

Thanks, man.

Alright, father, let me cut to the chase.

Listen. We would like to know

what promise we should make to the Virgin

for the national team to classify tomorrow.

We have great devotion to the Virgin.

- Right, Poncho? - Yes.

We light up a candle in her honor every day.

We know that she makes miracles and she...

never fails us.

The important thing is the faith

you have in your promise.

Listen, father. Look at it this way.

If Mexico wins, you win.

Who will be the goalie for the Americans?

Howard.

Who will be in the forward line with Fiera Sanabria?

- Chicharito. - Chicharito.

On the American midfield they will have Bradley.

No, he's still injured.

And the referee? Where's he from?

- Guatemala. - Hernán Silva?

- Yes. - No...

He didn't help las Chivas

to classify at the '89 World Cup.

He gave away a penalty favoring Panama in a classifying match.

Minute 50 of the second half.

- It wasn't even a penalty. - It was a hand ball.

No, no. He gave it away.

Our Father, Who art in heaven Hallowed be Thy Name.

I think that...

nine Sundays guarantee a tie.

But a tie isn't good, father. We need to win.

Then include a considerable donation.

That's all we have to discuss.

That'll make us classify to the World Cup.

Listen, father...

That considerable donation... how much are we talking about?

Well, that depends on your good will, my sons.

Listen, father. Let's do the following.

What if... we give you a down payment.

We'll wait for the match and once Mexico wins,

we'll give you the rest.

What do you think?

What?

You can't sleep either?

I can't sleep, I'm too nervous.

Wanna play cards?

No. I couldn't focus.

- I can't wait for tomorrow. - Me neither!

Have you ever looked at the sky at night?

Never, man.

That's when I realize that we're almost nothing.

That's when I realize that life is worth living.

Well, you're right.

- Do you have the tickets? - Yes.

- Uncle! - Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

- Lupe, where's uncle? - In his room.

Don't wake him up.

It's been a long time

since he hasn't rested like this.

Besides, it's too early.

What's wrong with uncle?

He really is a deep sleeper.

He's just fooling us.

Uncle!

Hey!

Uncle, enough!

Uncle, stop it!

Uncle, I mean it! Wake up!

We have to go! The stadium will be crowded!

Come on, uncle!

We have to go!

Come on!

- No way, he's... - He's what?

No way, he's dead.

- No kidding, Mariano. - He's dead, damn it!

He's not breathing and his eyes are looking up.

We killed him.

We killed him, Mariano! We killed him!

We bothered him too much.

We screwed with him, we killed him!

We killed uncle!

Uncle, I'm sorry! I didn't want to kill you!

Shut up! Shut the hell up!

Shut up.

Listen to me. Calm down, calm down.

People...

people die.

Just like that. All of a sudden.

Uncle had some heart problems.

But besides...

Well, dying like that is nice.

In your own bed,

sleeping, without noticing anything.

- Man! - Shut up!

Why did you lock yourselves in?

Why so much noise, Mariano?

I had told you not to play that damn trumpet in the house!

Excuse us, Lupe. We didn't mean to!

Go open the door. We'll be downstairs in a while.

Alright, I'm coming.

The best way to honor uncle is...

by going to the stadium.

We'll be at our seats to see the match.

That's what he would've wanted.

He even told me that once.

I mean it.

I remember that we were watching

the Mexico vs. Costa Rica match and...

and he said:

"Mariano, if I ever die... you guys go to the stadium."

Stop talking nonsense!

I'm not stupid!

Uncle hated the national team.

What do you want me to say?

I can't miss that game.

Come on!

If I don't go to the stadium, our team will lose.

You know it.

I know, Mariano. But...

Precisely today... he died precisely today?

I'll say it openly.

Uncle screwed this day for us.

He's screwing with us even now that he's dead!

Sorry, uncle.

Sorry.

Why don't you open the door, damn it?

Uncle...

is getting changed.

I told you not to wake him up.

Open the door!

I told you, Lupe. Uncle is getting changed.

What a mystery.

Any of you, come downstairs.

Big guy Sanabria needs you at the door.

What's up, baby?

Are you going to the Azteca stadium?

Are you waiting for Christ to come back down again?

What's up, bro? We said 11.

Look, it's late.

Yes, but uncle...

isn't ready yet.

What's up, man? What's wrong?

I'm just excited about the game.

Hurrah for Mexico!

Is that why you're acting girly?

Let me just say this.

Go and tell Mariano that we'll wait for you guys

at Mr. Lucho's store until 11:20.

If you don't arrive...

we'll leave, man.

Deal?

Alright.

Uncle.

I hope I didn't offend you

with the things I said a while ago.

I just told Poncho that to convince him

to go to the stadium.

Uncle, I've always thought that you were a great guy.

And... if I'm not crying

it's just because I'm not like that.

But I...

I swear on our Virgin of Guadalupe

that I...

I feel a terrible pain, uncle.

It hurts...

that you died on a day like today.

But on the other hand... it was good, uncle.

After the game,

things would be very complicated for you.

Hey, and the bet?

Uncle? A bet is a bet.

I have already promised Luz Dary the house.

I hope grandma heard everything.

Geez!

Why didn't I make you sign a document? Damn it.

Uncle!

I know you're dead.

But I hope you keep your word!

Lupita, no!

- Why not? - No, no.

Don't bother.

Let me help you.

- But... what got into you? - Let me help you.

- Lupita! - Yes?

- Can you help me with the coffee? - Sure!

OK, thanks.

- Let's go. - What do I do with this?

Sure.

Eggs and chilaquiles for him.

That's the kind of thing that makes me mad.

- What do I do with this? - Just leave it there. Let's go!

Mariano!

Mariano, where are you?

Mr. Pedro, your breakfast is out here.

Mr. Pedro!

It will get cold.

Mariano, I can't.

What do you mean? Let's go!

- What will we say later? - Anything. Let's go!

What if they go to the stadium to find us?

Come on!

Mr. Mariano and Poncho Cárdenas.

The Police requires your presence

for murdering your uncle!

You know what, man?

I won't beg you to go.

See you after the game.

Here.

- Alright. - Let's go.

That's it, man!

I like that.

You must know what's important in life.

Mariano!

It was useless.

Hail Mary...

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women...

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Optimism is in the air.

A while ago we talked to the team coach,

who says they are ready to give their all.

The players are focused.

Their energy is high and the team is articulated.

They play together nicely and they're ready to win.

Mariano?

We'll go to the funeral home in 15 minutes.

Let's go, team!

Let's give it everything we've got!

The match is about to start and we're still here.

No way, Mariano.

What do you mean? Listen to me.

On our way to the funeral home,

we'll take the front seats of the hearse.

We'll say it's in order to make way.

When they're not paying attention, we'll go straight to the stadium.

Mariano!

Listen, we'll later say that we got lost...

that there was a lot of traffic...

or that the car abandoned us.

I'll say that I don't have a cell phone

so I couldn't call anyone.

You'll say you ran out of batteries, OK?

- There's plenty of excuses. - I can't believe you.

Are you still thinking about going to the stadium?

Listen, Poncho, I won't abandon my team today...

no matter who dies!

Sorry, uncle.

We need you to help us

move uncle from the bed to the coffin.

Yes, baby, we're coming.

Aren't you going to get changed?

Listen.

I was just telling him that, baby, but he's too stubborn.

Help me, help me.

I got stuck.

Pull him down!

Alright.

I'll fix it later.

Poor uncle.

At least he died

without going through the embarrassment of defeat.

Stop it!

Show some respect.

What are you doing?

I would have wanted someone to do this, if I had died.

So that uncle can listen to the match...

even from beyond.

Man, they're already singing the anthems.

You know what?

You killed me with that.

Mariano, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

- Poncho. - Mr. Vicente.

Thank you.

When is the burial?

We don't know yet.

We're going to the funeral home.

Alright, see you there.

Aren't you going to the stadium?

They were just singing the anthems a while ago.

Well, Mariano... first things first.

I have to be with your uncle.

He would've done the same for me.

Unbelievable.

Missing the game where his son is the idol

to go to... a funeral?

Life is full of surprises.

Let's go.

I need you to go with grandma.

There isn't room for her in the other cars.

Open up, Poncho. Please.

Let me help you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Start it, Poncho!

Again!

Son of a bitch!

It had to be precisely today! Piece of trash!

I've been telling you for over a month, Mariano.

The car is broken, but you didn't--

Put on your headphones and tell me the score.

I'm coming.

- No... - What?

- No! - What?

I ran out of batteries.

For real, Poncho?

Mariano, what could I do?

I was so nervous last night that I forgot to charge it.

And this morning my uncle...

How will we listen to the match then?

Get a cab.

Quick! Go!

Oh, please.

What are you guys doing here?

Not much, baby.

We're parking the car.

It's parked already.

- Let's go. - Yes, it wasn't well parked, so...

Please don't leave Lupita alone for too long.

Right now is when she needs you the most.

- Yes, mom. - Yes.

Let's go.

Come on, Mariano!

- Let's go. - Yes, baby.

Where were you going?

It was Mariano's idea.

What idea?

Look at him, Mariano.

See how he looks?

So peaceful.

He even looks younger.

He doesn't look like a dead person...

It seems he's just sleeping.

But I have to tell you something.

Now that Pedro has died,

may his soul rest in peace...

you must be the one who represents this family.

- Understand that. - Yes, uncle.

You must be the chief,

the boss,

the man in charge.

You must be a badass.

A badass.

A real badass. OK?

Just like Pedro was... may his soul rest in peace...

You must be a badass.

Yes, uncle.

A badass, a badass, a badass...

A badass, a badass...

- Understand? - Yes, uncle.

A badass, son.

A real, real badass.

My head is about to explode.

Listen, uncle, talk to Poncho.

This boy needs lots of encouragement.

Luz Dary...

Can you do me a favor?

Lupita has a bad headache.

Could you go to a pharmacy and get her some aspirins?

Yes, I have some money.

Don't worry. I'll be back soon.

Just look at him...

I don't want to see him.

I don't want to anymore...

Understand?

You must be a badass, Poncho.

A badass.

A badass.

Everyone in this family is a badass.

Understand?

Badass, badass, badass.

But not just any badass.

A real, real badass.

A badass.

Everyone is a badass.

Boss, come on.

I wouldn't play with such a delicate matter.

So it was a coincidence, right?

Precisely today one of your uncles dies...

right when the national team is playing the qualifying match.

Right, jerk?

Also by coincidence that happened on the same Sunday

when you have to work.

Yes, boss. I also think that this occurred

at a very inconvenient time. But that's how things are.

I have to be here with my mom and all my family.

No, no, no.

Who do you think I am, dumbass?

But let me warn you.

You're running out of time.

So be careful.

Careful.

Your team is also running out of time.

Listen to me, the score is 0-0.

But the Americans are more likely to score a goal

than your team.

They're all mixed up.

Don't say that, boss. Really?

Yes.

It must be because you're not at the stadium, right?

Yes, of course, it must be because of that.

Oh, Cárdenas.

I pity you.

I can already envision your money in my account.

I want you to be here in 30 minutes.

Otherwise, you know what will happen.

- Listen, but... - No, no, no excuses, Cárdenas.

I told you to come to do your job,

to complete the registers and you didn't do anything.

You must learn the following...

Some of us were born to be leaders,

some others were born to sweat it.

And you, my friend, are part of the second group.

No, no, no, don't answer.

It's Cárdenas. Always looking for excuses.

Now he's saying that one of his uncles died.

- Unbelievable. - Come on.

I'm not staying, man.

- Just play along. - Got it.

You're not feeling well, grandma?

- Come with me. - What happened?

Grandma wants to go to the bathroom.

- I'll take her. - No, no, mom.

Stay here and take care of people.

Don't worry. I'll take her.

She can do it by herself. Come with me, grandma.

She'll come later.

Don't worry.

Help me.

Let's go to the bathroom, grandma.

Poor woman.

Come here, grandma.

Mariano, you're crazy.

We can't take grandma to the stadium.

We still have uncle Pedro's ticket, right?

- Mariano! - Mariano what?

Poncho, haven't you realized?

If we can't make it to the stadium, the team will lose.

If the team loses, I'll lose everything.

I'll be ruined, Poncho.

Besides, if mom knows that we're with grandma, she won't look for us.

We'll go to the stadium to see the remaining part of the match.

We'll be back and she won't even notice.

But I can't picture grandma in the stadium shouting:

"Eh... loser!"

Come on, Poncho.

At this point, grandma doesn't mind

being at a funeral or a soccer match.

Grandma! Grandma, walk faster! It's just that...

I think she's doing it on purpose.

- Mariano! - Grandma! Help us out, please!

You know what? I have no choice.

What are you going to do? Mariano!

- Let's go. - Mariano!

- Hello. How are you? - Hi, blondie.

Do you have something for a headache?

- This is it. - Really?

Great. I think...

Let's see. This is OK, right?

At your service.

Thanks.

Mr. Vicente!

Oh, Luz Dary. How are you?

Well... so so.

Sit down, miss.

- A beer? A soda? - No, no.

It's...

OK, a tequila.

Hey! A shot.

Some Sangrita?

- Well, if you insist... - Hey! Some Sangrita too.

Luz Dary is gone.

- Where? - If you don't know...

She can go anywhere.

We just need to get to the stadium.

Hey! Taxi!

- No! - Damn!

Right when you need a cab, they're all taken.

- No way. - What?

Now she really wants to piss.

No.

No, grandma.

Grandma, hold it until we get to the stadium.

- Mariano. - No, she must hold it.

Or let her pee herself. We'll change her later.

We can't ask grandma to hold it!

She has a sagging bladder.

Come on, she's saggy all over.

We have no time. A cab's coming.

Let's go, grandma.

That's it.

Come on, grandma.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Up!

Guys!

Uncle Justo!

Uncle!

That's it.

There you go, grandma.

Yes.

What a tragedy.

Mom! My lovely old lady!

I hadn't seen you in a long time!

How are you?

Shattered, uncle.

Where were you taking grandma?

We were... looking for a bathroom.

All of them were occupied back at the funeral home.

Uncle, grandma is having some bladder issues.

So... she wants to go often.

What about your mom and Lupita?

You can imagine.

When did you get here?

As soon as I got the call, I came.

Let's go, mom.

If we have to, we'll go to an office bathroom.

Let's go.

Hold it.

Let's go, guys!

I can't deal with her by myself.

Come on!

Mariano, help me with the bag.

The ball keeps rolling.

The second half starts.

It will be 45 minutes full of excitement

and very tense moments.

It's our last chance to go to the World Cup.

We must win!

We must give our all!

We must fight it! Let's go for it!

It's so unfortunate... what happened to Pedro, right?

All of a sudden.

Unfortunate?

When I walked into the room, I saw him lying there...

Oh, God.

May he rest in peace.

Mr. Vicente...

when will we sign the apartment contract?

Since we already gave you the money, we can sign...

What money?

The down payment for the apartment.

The one we bought.

The thing is that...

Mariano hasn't given me any money.

We had an appointment but he didn't show up...

so I got another offer and I sold the apartment.

I thought you weren't interested.

I'll get some fresh air.

Go ahead.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is on fire!

The local team is putting some pressure.

The visitors are defending themselves

any way they can.

They're even fighting them back.

Time is passing and the ball keeps moving.

The ball keeps moving.

Let's go, Mexico!

What? What's up?

- How much for your cell phone? - No, it's not for sale.

- Come on, take it. - Don't insist.

It's not for sale. I already told you.

With this money you can afford a better one.

Please don't insist. Aren't you listening?

It's not for sale!

Wow, so much dignity!

Well, yes, that's how things are.

Well, can you at least tell me the score?

Yes, sure.

No chance!

Damn guard...

Baby...

Everything is OK. Don't worry.

Mr. Vicente, I thought you were off to the stadium.

No, it's family time.

Yes, yes.

In fact, I'm brokenhearted.

Devastated, Mr. Vicente.

By any chance, do you know the match score?

Zero to zero.

The United States has backed down.

They're counterattacking

and we're moving forward fearlessly.

Five minutes before the match ends,

if we're lucky...

we will go to penalty kicks.

Zero to zero.

Oh, God!

- A round of penalty kicks. - No!

Yes.

- Guys... - Yes?

I need you to help me take your uncle to another room.

This one is too small and too noisy.

Uncle Justo just paid for room three,

which is bigger and quieter.

But... you'll have to help us move the coffin.

Please.

Yes, mom.

The referee blows the final whistle,

signaling the end of the 90 minutes.

The match ends, Mexico 0...

And now the classification will be determined by penalties.

What's wrong, Mariano?

Yes.

We must believe in and trust our goalie...

Let's hope for the best! Let's have faith!

Come on, guys!

We must give it our all!

- What happened? - What's wrong, man?

Push harder!

It's a very tense moment.

Despite the constant attacks,

cutbacks and zig zags made by Fiera Sanabria,

it wasn't enough to...

Poncho, let me explain the situation.

With my right hand...

I'll signal the penalties scored by Mexico, OK?

With my left hand

I'll signal the ones scored by the Americans.

- Poncho? - Oh!

Dude... it was the best idea ever

to leave that radio in the coffin.

Poncho, Poncho!

Stop it, man! Shake your monster and let's go.

- Come on, come on! - Come on!

That's OK.

Let's go.

What happened, honey?

That's what I want to ask.

What happened?

What did you do with the money for the apartment?

I talked to Mr. Vicente

and he told me that he sold the apartment...

But not to us.

What did you do with that money?

I bet it on the game.

I did it for you, Luz Dary. For us.

Listen, darling, I couldn't miss that chance.

It's the last one I'll ever have.

You're a son of a bitch!

Calm down, baby, don't react like that.

Listen, if Mexico wins,

we'll be able to buy the apartment we want.

Calm down, baby.

Instead of reacting like that,

you should send your good vibes and even ask God to help us.

From this moment on, this is a lottery.

Serenity is vital.

Jiménez will shoot the kick for the local team.

For the United States McAllister will shoot.

Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Holy Mary, Mother of God...

It's all set, ladies and gentlemen!

Everything's ready.

Come on, Mexicans!

Come on!

Our goalie is an expert in saving penalty kicks.

It's something to envy, undoubtedly.

The world's best players are here.

McAllister is talking to the referee.

Jiménez is waiting under the goal.

The referee goes away.

Here he comes...

the player takes distance

he gets ready, he aims...

fire!

It's a miss!

He stopped it!

In a Versailles kind of way!

Jiménez, you're huge!

You're huge!

You're the best!

A real giant!

For the next kick we have the Mexican team.

Here he comes.

The player takes distance.

He gets ready...

- And it's a miss! - No!

- No! - He missed!

I didn't think that Pedro's death would be so hard for Mariano.

Yes.

And they didn't get along.

No... life is nothing, Mariano.

He died... he died.

I know.

How could you miss it?

There won't be any tamales at your home today!

Jackson is getting ready.

He holds the ball.

- He kisses and places the ball. - Hard!

He runs towards the ball.

He kicks and... goal.

The Mexican player is next.

He crosses himself.

He looks at the sky and then the goalie.

Lopez kicks and... into the net!

Holy Christ!

What a great goal!

A goal!

Goal!

Goal!

Excuse me, Virgin.

Excuse me.

But please, make him miss.

I'm crossing my fingers.

Jiménez!

Goal.

The goalie throws himself to the left.

The ball moves to the right, to the corner!

What a goal! What a goal!

Huge indeed!

The score is 2-2.

Howard is up next.

Come on, Jiménez! You can do it!

Focus!

You can stop it!

He strikes it clean.

Goal from the Americans.

The third player is coming.

The third chance for the Mexican team.

He's got everything ready to kick it in.

He gets some power.

It's Chango Pérez.

Goal!

Chango, Chango, Chango Pérez!

Ladies and gentlemen.

Jiménez will stop the next one.

Fellow supporters,

Jiménez is ready for the victory!

The American takes a running start.

Jiménez is focused under the goal.

Here comes the kick.

He stopped it! He stopped it!

Cheer up, Mexico!

Cheer up, Tri team!

Cheer up, national team!

I'm very confident

because the next player specializes

in 36-feet penalty kicks.

He's acknowledged...

He's focused on it.

From 12 steps behind, here comes Fiera Sanabria.

He's got the key to classify the team to the World Cup.

Come on, Fiera! You can't miss it!

You can't miss it!

Kick it in!

Luz Dary...

why don't you and Mariano go out for a while?

He looks very nervous.

Very sad.

You should go home.

He should get some rest.

Right now he needs you the most.

He's never needed me, Mrs. Dolores.

He's never needed anyone.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.

The Fiera Sanabria is coming.

He's placing the ball.

He takes it close to his face.

He kisses it...

as if kissing his girlfriend.

Score, Fiera! Score it!

Holy Mary, Mother of God...

Come on, Fiera!

For Mexico, it's the most important thing.

The future of a crying country depends on your feet.

Don't miss it.

You're huge, Fiera!

Blast it into the back of the net.

Have some faith, Mexicans!

We can't miss.

Fiera Sanabria takes a running start!

He kicks the ball and...

- Goal! - Goal!

Fiera! Fiera! Fiera!

You're big!

You're huge!

Fiera, we love you!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we've classified for the World Cup!

We're going to the World Cup!

We're going to the World Cup!

Thank you, Lord! Thank you!

Thank you!

We're going to the World Cup!

Damn it!

Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!

We did it! We did it! We did it!

Luz Dary.

Luz Dary!

Baby!

Do you know where Luz Dary is?

You didn't notice?

Noticing what?

We were too drunk. I don't remember anything.

Luz Dary didn't spend the night here.

My secretary has your resignation letter.

Go sign it.

Let's solve this nicely, Cárdenas.

You knew perfectly well

that I had too many reasons to fire you.

This is because I won the bet. Right, boss?

Be a good loser. Don't be resentful.

A bet is a bet.

You were warned, Cárdenas.

I told you that I didn't come to work on Sunday

because I was at my uncle's funeral.

I can show it to you.

I don't give a damn.

The worst part is that you think I'm stupid.

I wasn't born yesterday, Cárdenas.

Anyway, good luck.

Whenever you need...

you have a friend in me.

Take care.

You know what? You can keep your damn job.

I was bored working here. I was going to quit.

But let me tell you this...

I'll sue you and you won't forget about me.

Or you can travel from Madrid.

It's your choice.

Excuse me, please.

Paloma, can you please help me?

What's up?

What are you doing here?

What do you mean why I'm here?

Where did you stay last night?

At a friend's.

Could you tell me why?

Don't play the fool. I haven't forgotten what you did.

What did I do, baby?

Can't you see? We won.

We are finally going to buy the house you want so badly.

All of our problems were solved, honey!

What if you had lost that bet?

- But, baby-- - No, sir.

You bet everything we have.

You bet our future on a soccer match, Mariano.

But we won, baby.

We'll be in the World Cup and we'll have a new house.

What else do you want?

You just don't get it. Do you?

I won't reproach you anymore.

No, sir.

I know that you did that,

with the best intentions...

but I understood that...

you're not the man

that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

But you love me and I love you, baby.

Living with someone requires more than love, Mariano.

I swear, this time I'm really going to change.

I just don't believe you.

I don't believe you.

Darling, please...

Give me the chance, please.

Stand up, Mariano.

Stand up.

I'm going back to Colombia today.

I think we can't see each other again.

Honey...

what I did was that serious?

It's just... it's not about how serious it is.

No, sir. It's just that...

That's who you are and I'm not interested in that.

I can't live like that.

Not even if I insist, honey?

What?

Are you going on a trip or what?

You're the one who's leaving, Mariano.

Grandma says that you can't live here anymore.

Mom, this house is mine now.

I won it on a bet with uncle Pedro.

Poncho was there.

Poncho told us all about it.

Grandma says that this is her house.

It never was Pedro's house.

He couldn't decide on it.

So you have to leave.

Go where?

Go live your own life, Mariano.

It's about time.

No, mom.

Not you.

You can't do this to me.

I can.

Get out of my house.

What's up with you?

What do you mean?

I'm coming with you.

I'm really sorry for you,

without a home, a job

and without Luz Dary.

But we won, jerk!

We eliminated those damn Americans.

And we'll be in the World Cup!

- Is that bad? - No.

Listen to me, Poncho.

This time, man... this time we must get ready.

It's not just about making it to the fifth game.

No.

This time we must be the world champions.

- The world champions. - The world champions!

- Hurrah for Mexico! - Hurrah for Mexico!

Hurrah for Mexico!

- Hurrah for Mexico! - Hurrah for Mexico!
