America Football Cup

 Before the depart of the C.A, people were already waiting what would happen in the cup, since it could be the rematch after losing to Brazil last year and be eliminated from the World Cup. And by the quality of the Chilean team players, many of them play in the biggest clubs in the world, everyone hoped that once in the history of the Chilean football we actually won a cup, and it happened.

The Chilean victory is the first in 100 years, filling the streets with crowds of people regardless of class, leaving aside all quarrels and differences.

 But this cup is nothing more than a mere show. Bread and circus for the people, alienating the people, since everything was related to football, aparting them from the national reality, the awake and discontent people, but this awakening was overshadowed by the media only talking about football, covering numerous cases of political corruption, the new reforms, protests against them, state repression, detention and torture of students and only criminalizing social protest and boasting the football as the solution that people need. To the political class that governs us, as the popular expression says it “fit like a glove” to them, so people would forget the country's problems, it was expected that all political parties focused on the president with his followers, robbers, celebrating goals, showing as if nothing had happened, boosting approval, which happened, at the end of C.A., the govern increased the approbation  taking pictures whit the players and inviting them to the govern palace to continue the show, while in the street people protesting and getting only violence by the state. For me it was nothing more than a mere show to return to the lethargy that has cost us so much to escape. This events are social control weapon.
