Paricutín — The Erupting Spirit of Michoacán

I, Pancho Villa, ride out of the dust to tell you that in Mexico, even the Earth has the spirit of a striker! Just like the legendary Hugo Sánchez erupting in the box, the Paricutín volcano burst from a quiet field in Michoacán in 1943. It grew a thousand feet in its first year—a rapid rise that reminds me of our 'El Tri' youngsters who debut with fire in their hearts. When the ground shakes, it is either the volcano or the thunder of the Azteca!
