What is "botineras"

Botineras ( WAGs: Love for the Game) is an Argentine telenovela produced by Endemol and Underground. Airing on Telefe, it premiered on November 24, 2009, and was broadcast until August 25, 2010. The show revolves around the theme of football players and their romances, whilst also dealing with the different police investigations they stumble across during the show. When it first aired, the telenovela was originally a comedy, before later becoming a police drama. The original stars were Florencia Peña and Nicolás Cabré, who played Giselle López and Cristian "Chiqui" Flores. Peña resigned after the genre shift, as the shift caused her character to lose importance, which, compiled with Peña's general dissatisfaction with the show, saw Romina Gaetani's and Isabel Macedo's characters (Laura Posse/Mía Alberdi and Margarita "Marga" Molinari respectively) gain superior notability in contrast to her own.
