Futbol is Mexico's National sporting game. The stage is the playing field, the players are the Team members and spectators are the audience cheering for the winning team. The local community watches as the two teams perform in the hot 32+C° (90+F°) afternoon Yucatan humid heat. Jaguares and Venatos (not seen today) are arch competitors in this league.
