‘We want to go to Chile but not just for the trip. Think about the generations after us! The stories would be told and retold, how some guys from their barns in Serbia sat on a plane and went to Chile. That’s what we live for!’
I loved this quote.
But also so much of this piece had a familiar resonance to it. Having grown up outside a small Kentucky town, this desire to find some meaning, some ritual to keep things going, the push to leave the pull to stay, finding connections across the globe over some shared thing...so much feeling here.
New here! Great post. Throughly enjoyed. I happen to be Chilean!. Greetings from NJ, USA.
Ps: I think you were looking for the term barras bravas. Though Colo Colo's main set of fans is called garra blanca [translates to white claw]. Cheers abd great piece!

Wow, thank you for such beautiful words! Happy you enjoyed it so much.
