El alma

Santos is the desert's team, La Laguna, the cotton and dairy country of Torreon out in the northern scrub where nothing grows easy. The Guerreros, Warriors, punch way above the size of their market and have the titles to prove it, a small city that refuses to be small on the field. Green and white, a proud regional identity that does not care what Mexico City thinks. The kind of hard working, no excuses club that earns respect the honest way.

El Tío opina

Now here is a team that earns my respect the honest way, nephew. Santos Laguna. The desert's own, out in La Laguna, the cotton and dairy country around Torreón where nothing grows without a fight. Los Guerreros, the Warriors, and the name is not for decoration, primo: this is a small market that punches so far above its size it has the trophies to embarrass clubs three times bigger. Green and white, a fierce regional pride that does not care one bit what la Ciudad de México thinks about anything. Hard-working, no-excuses, the kind of club that shows up in the desert heat and just refuses to lose. Chico en el mapa, grande en la cancha, nephew. Así se hace.
