ARTICLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH:
“The Two Escobars” by Jeff and Michael Zimbalist
With 54 Days, 04 Hours, 40 minutes and 00 seconds left until the 2010 FIFA World Cup to be held this summer in Johannesburg, South Africa, many may really enjoy this fantastic film comparing the lives of two humble, yet powerful men born in the same city, Medellin, Columbia, who share the same last name, but have no relation to one another, except the fact that they both simultaneously had a major impact on the economic rise and fall of Columbia, South America. Columbian national soccer player, Andres Escobar (March 13, 1967- July 2, 1994), and Columbian drug lord, Pablo Escobar, (December 1, 1949- December 2, 1993), both helped move millions of dollars into the Columbian economy, one through soccer, the other through cocaine. As soccer has such an enormous impact on the South American and world economy, enormous pressure was placed on the Columbian national soccer players in the 1980’s and 1990’s to win, or be killed. When the players won, they were rewarded with large bonuses by the Columbian leaders with money made from drug trafficking, and when and if they lost, they had to face the consequences.

Con 54 días, 04 horas, 40 minutos y 00 segundos para la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de la FIFA 2010, que se celebrará este verano en Johannesburgo (Sudáfrica), muchos seguramente disfrutarán esta excelente película que compara las vidas de dos hombres humildes, pero a la vez poderosos, que nacieron en la misma ciudad, en Medellín (Colombia). Ambos comparten el mismo apellido pero no tienen ningún parentesco, aunque ambos tuvieron, de manera simultánea, un impacto enorme en el surgimiento y hundimiento económico de Colombia: uno de ellos a través del fútbol, y el otro por la cocaína. Debido a que el fútbol tiene un impacto tan importante en la economía sudamericana, así como en la economía mundial, los jugadores de fútbol de la selección colombiana de los años 80 y 90 eran coaccionados para que ganasen, o murieran. Cuando los jugadores ganaban, recibían recompenses exorbitantes por parte de los líderes colombianos procedentes de dinero Ganado del tráfico de drogas, y cuando perdían, tenían que afrontar las consecuencias.
