El juego de la vida

This is a mexican soap opera about teenager, love and football. It supposedly is all about soccer, however, very little is shown. The cast is great (for the older cast), however some of the younger cast is really bad, my mom can act better! Anyway, this sopie can keep you entertained for the 30 minutes it lasts. Fridays are the best days.

I remember stumbling upon an episode of "El Juego de la Vida" when I was channel surfing one afternoon in September, 2002 and settled on KMEX-34(Univision's L.A./Southern California affiliate). What I saw of that one episode looked good. And after watching that one episode, I decided to start watching this novela. Although "El Juego" had been on for sometime, I continued to watch it but I would only watch it whenever I got the chance. This telenovela introduced me to the many actors(young and old) that comprised the cast such as Valentino Lanus, Ana Layevska, Sara Maldonado, Luis Gimeno, Mariana Karr, Tina Romero, Raul Araiza, Jr. and others for which I would see them act in other telenovelas post and even pre "El Juego de la Vida." For a long time, I had hoped that either Univision would re-air "El Juego" in their late night "Grandes Historias" series or Telefutura because that subnetwork of Univision usually re-airs old telenovelas from Televisa all of the time. And I even looked out for a DVD of this novela for a long time as well. Unfortunately, either network or a DVD of "El Juego" came about. Sometime this past August, I was able to watch "El Juego" on Youtube. I was glad I was able to see the novela from the beginning on this website for which I was able to watch the first 20 episodes. Then about a few months ago, I got word through the website, "Telenovela World" that Telefutura would re-air "El Juego de la Vida" on weekday mornings at 8 a.m. After receiving that information, I was happy that it was returning to TV and I even had the novela set to record on my DVR. And although I saw the first 20 episodes on Youtube previously, I decided to start watching the whole novela again for which I'm also glad I have the opportunity to watch "El Juego" from start to finish. "El Juego de la Vida" was not only the first telenovela for teens that I saw(others such as "Clase 406", "CLAP", "Rebelde", "Codigo Postal", etc. would follow afterwards) but this particular telenovela got me to become a fan of watching telenovelas in general(from either Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia) as well.

Nice story! First time seen woman's football on tv! After 20 years we can see profesional girls football teams on TV. No doubt this is prior that the boom of professional soccers female teams. Nice to see this group of girls doing their best to get inside of a male sports and doing well.

Mexican tv soaps always been entertainment, this telenovela it's the reflection of that! You can see it and don't get boring, love the trama, the characters, the script, and also, the female cast are so pretty, Mexicans, Argentines, Cubans, Russian girls! A lot of cultures going in the same way, keep the hearts of the audience inside. Bravo!

This is currently my favorite show on t.v. even though I do not speak a word of Spanish. Its easy to follow even if you cant understand what is being said. Margarita Magana is amazing in the role of Ferdinanda and she is also very hot, and Ana Layevska is equaly attractive. Not only is this show very entertaining there are also many hot Mexican Women to look at.

This is a spanish soap opera about a bunch of teenagers in love. Its very entertaining and it keeps you wanting for more.

It lasts an hour, here in New York. I watch it everyday, (well mon.-sat). I recommended it to anyone!
