Been trying to improve my Spanish since returning from Mexico recently, so I started watching Club de Cuervos on Netflix. It's set in a fictional Mexican city, Nuevo Toledo, and is about a brother and sister trying to manage a Liga MX soccer team, Cuervos FC, after their father's death. Pretty good and funny so far. English subtitles are available. I laughed out loud at this exchange between the club's sporting director and Chava, the superficial rich kid brother who becomes president of the club:
Giménez Cacho: “¿Cuál es el problema del futbol mexicano?”.
Chava: “Que no hay glamour, que todos están bien feos, que el ‘Piojo’ sale en todos los comerciales… que no tenemos un David Beckham”
("What's the problem with Mexican football?"
"There's no glamour, all the players are ugly, El Piojo [Miguel Herrera] is in all the adverts, we don't have a David Beckham.")
Also a good scene where he asks why they don't have a star on their crest like all the other clubs.
Anybody else watching?
