Meet the Starting Lineup of Netflix’s New Mexican Soccer Team, ‘Club de Cuervos’
Netflix’s first Spanish-language original series, Club de Cuervos, kicked off this weekend. The soccer-themed comedy follows a family fighting over their inheritance, a football club called Los Cuervos based in the fictional city of Nuevo Toledo. If you haven’t started watching Club de Cuervos yet, then you need to get on it. The 13-episode first season is filled with family drama, paternity suits, locker room pranks, shouting matches, dick jokes, and social media references, all while providing social commentary on Mexico’s current state of affairs, including corruption, homophobia, and class.
The mix of players that make up the starting lineup for Cuervos F.C. is perfectly curated to replicate the rosters of real-life, world-class club teams. There’s the highly-devoted hometown hero/team captain, a cut Argentine with a six-pack who looks like a male model, a Brazilian who speaks Portañol and no one understands, the rookie who asks other players for autographs, and the big international star they want to bring in but will probably bankrupt the team.
Just in time to get you binge-ready, here’s the official roster for Club de Cuervos.
