But one day, they allow the wrong man to join their ranks: Sergio Jadue, the president of a small soccer club, in a country that has never won anything.

2. RosaritoIn soccer, dodges or feints are admired and applauded, but there is one problem: if you can’t pull it off, you’re risking major ridicule. Sergio Jadue is about to pull off the feint of his lifetime, but something goes wrong. Cornered by an FBI agent, he is left with two options: he can collaborate with the investigation, or go to jail. He can either be with the gringos or against himself.TV-MACC1 h 0 minJun 5, 2020
3. Las pelotasLuck is for losers. A true winner doesn’t hope for results: he makes them. With this in mind, Sergio Jadue prepares to televise the Copa America group draw to the entire world, as a sort of kickoff event for the tournament that will be held in his county. But there’s no reason to be so serious: first comes a CONMEBOL family tremendous celebration, with the FBI infiltrated at the party itself.TV-MACC56minJun 5, 2020
4. En el paloMoney is exciting. Grab it, make a stash: a new car, caviar, and why not, buy a soccer team. Pink Floyd said it, not Jadue. With bank account figures he’s never seen before, the La Calera native splurges on himself, followed closely by a reporter. Meanwhile, the FBI is pressing him to deliver some concrete evidence: the time has come to be a rat, or perhaps a monkey, the smartest animal of all.TV-MACC49minJun 5, 2020
5. Padre NuestroJadue resorts to the celestial plane to ask for divine intervention before the moral crossroads he finds himself at: Will God have space amongst his flock to accommodate the sinful CONMEBOL family, or will he unleash his heavy punishment onto them? Jadue hopes that his sacrifice as a Lamb of God can cleanse his sins, although he fears that at the end of the road, he might end up crucified anyway.TV-MACC58minJun 5, 2020
6. FifageitJudgment day has arrived for Jadue, but Agent Harris arrives just in time to rescue the president from the vultures circling around the entire CONMEBOL family’s deathbed.

7. MentiraAs the joy brought on by the Copa America tournament spreads throughout Chile, a dark shadow falls over the Jadue Facuse family and the CONMEBOL.

People say there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, but what no one told this man is that some tunnels are blind alleys.TV-MACC54minJun 5, 2020
8. Everything passesAs Julio Grondona used to say, “Everything passes.” Marital difficulties triggered by lies pass. Financial problems pass. National embarrassments pass. The great triumphs that, for an instant, elevate completely unknown countries to the highest of heavens – those too, pass. Money passes. Justice passes. But what happened to Sergio Jadue? Everything.TV-MACC1 h 4 minJun 5, 2020
