The Soccer War #5

Reading this twenty pages I couldnt imagine a war could be determined by a soccer game. I am a soccer fan and I watch every game possible and now that I am reading this novel I wonder how would it be if things like this happened in real life. I cant imagine Colombia for example going to war with Paraguay beacuse they defeated them last game. The war between Honduras and El salvador started because of a soccer game, but a war needs some backgroung misunderstandings for it to occur. I war cant just start because of a loss in a soccer game, it has to have something behind it and this was exactly what happened in this ocassion. Honduras and El Salvador had some misunderstandings since the some peasants, due to the high population on El Salvador, were movind to Honduras and were tehre was more space for them.
I also liked about this chapter the description they give us of Latin America, makes me remember of my country and be proud of who I am as a citizen.
