Passion and endurance: Boca Juniors was eliminated by a semi-professional physical education teacher.

Gastronomic Patagonia.- A few hours ago, Boca Juniors was eliminated from the Club World Cup, delighting virtually everyone, except for half the population of Buenos Aires.

The elimination came after a draw with Benfica, a loss to Bayern Munich, and… a draw with the mighty Auckland City of New Zealand . Yes, you read that right.

“Boca Juniors”

Because they drew 1-1 with Auckland City and were eliminated from the Club World Cup. They couldn't beat a team from New Zealand, they're leaving the tournament winless, and on top of that, they're being held hostage by a school teacher. Xeneize are a tall whore. pic.twitter.com/1PpAc4w1et

But it doesn't end there: the goal for the Mordor team (also known as Auckland ) was scored by Christian Gray, a physical education teacher at a local school, who headed the goal in and sent the Xeneizes straight to... emotional Patagonia.

The good thing was that Boca had thousands of fans in the stands.

Gray is not only not a professional player, but he had to ask permission from his school to be able to attend the game, which makes the phrase "passion and endurance" sound more like a cookie slogan than an epic Libertadores quote.

“Of course. It's the most important moment of my career. It means a lot to the club. We're a very small club. I'm very happy because we deserved it,” declared the coach, without turning to look at the whining of the Gauchos, who, in the stands, were already rehearsing speeches about “we invented football.”

As expected, this result has been traumatic for the Argentine team's fans, who now prefer to talk about "mystical cups won in other eras" to avoid uncomfortable topics like boxing, gastronomy, or general knowledge.
