The heat in the Clásico del Pacífico between Chile and Peru can be traced back to the War of the Pacific (1879–1884) fought by the two countries. Another rival of Chile is Argentina, a nation against which Chile has always measured itself. And the Argentinians? They see their most worthy opponent in a neighbor that, like itself, has several World Cup and Copa América wins to its name: soccer giant Brazil. ¡El fútbol es pasión! Fútbol in the Spanish-speaking world is much more than a game. Regional and national rivalries are steeped in history and local lore, and may reflect deep political, social, or cultural factors. In Spain the greatest contest is between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona: natural rivals, as teams from the country’s two largest cities, but with a political angle. As Barcelona’s longstanding bid for Catalonian autonomy was quashed under Francisco Franco’s regime (1939–1975), matches between the two teams came to symbolize the rift. Franco is long gone, but the rivalry goes on. Latin America’s best-known rivalries are between teams within the same country—and often the same city. The biggest is in Argentina, where Buenos Aires clubs River Plate and Boca Juniors duke it out in the Superclásico, one of the greatest contests in soccer. Both clubs have roots in the working-class La Boca neighborhood, but River Plate long ago moved to a wealthier district with a new fan base. Class lines have blurred, but the rivalry is still fierce. On match day the nation stops to watch.
