Description
The definitive sports periodical for several decades, El Gráfico shaped the discourse of soccer commentary in Argentina. These entries focus on several themes: fans, violence, tactics, playing styles, social classes, the international gaze, and identity.
Aimed at a middle-class audience through its coverage of sports, tactics, and fandom, its celebrated writers frequently offered biting criticism towards uniformed sports fans, coaches, and inept administrators.
