30 for 30: The Two Escobars

1. Soccer and the drug industry were connected because the team's performance depended on how much violence there was in society, Pablo Escobar used drug money to support soccer in the country, and people believed in soccer to be the freedom away from all the drugs/chaos.

2.Pablo Escobar is controversial because although he was the biggest drug trafficker in Colombia, he used the money he made to help his country, building homes and setting up community fields. I think Colombia was better off when Escobar was alive and dealing drugs because at least he was helping Colombia progress positively and there was significantly less violence.

3. Andres Escobar was a great soccer player and patriot of his country. However, I think he was asking to be killed the night he went out because he knew there was terror in Medellin and he tried to talk sensibly with drug cartel members who were angry with him.

4. I liked this documentary because it revealed to me what was going on behind the curtains of Colombia's national soccer team. People around the world may think that Colombia played poorly in their World Cup performance, but they do not know what kind of pressure and situation they were playing under.
