Article Photos: No title ever, but Ecuador team's fans remain true



In this photo taken Nov. 25, 2012, a soccer fan paints the Aucas team colors on the face of a fellow fan prior to a match at La Caldera del Sur stadium in Quito, Ecuador. Demoted to a lower league three years ago, the Aucas were returned to Ecuador's professional league Division B after the match ended in a tie. The small club founded 67 years ago has never won a title of any kind, much less represented Ecuador in international play. But its fans remain passionate, blind to defeats and failures that are synonymous with Aucas. (AP Photo/Dolores Ochoa)
