The cardinal from Argentina comes to Guadalajara Mexico to preach peace and unity among all South American countries. A lifelong soccer fan, he has cleverly scheduled his visit to coincide with a championship soccer game between his favorite hometown team and the Guadalajara ‘Chivas Team’. The cardinal is convinced of a big win for Argentina, and his presence will most assuredly add to the victory dance.
The starting players on the Guadalajara team have been plagued with injuries. Their coach is desperate to find good replacements. He decides to call on an old friend, Alejandro Vargas, and ask him to travel from his small town to be a guest player on the Chivas team.
The media spread news of the event and the game quickly becomes the main attraction in all of Mexico. The stadium is saving a box seat just for the cardinal.
When Alejandro returns from the game, Pedro's coach tells The Soccer Boy about his Guadalajara adventure with the Chivas team and his life-changing meeting with The Argentine Cardinal, who would soon be on his way to Rome to help elect the new pope.
