universidad, "la uni".
Hola Juan Federico
"varsity" is a familiar way of saying "university". Es equivalente a decir "la uni".
En ciertos países el ser un buen deportista garantiza la entrada a la universidad y en este caso se trata de un jugador de fútbol de primera división o primera línea.
Goooooool de Brasil!!!
