Lost in translation

Chatting with two Argentine backpackers, in Spanish, about football (what else?).

Argentine friend: I'm not a fan of the Boca club at all.
Me: Who do you support?
Argentine friend: Independent. ("independiente," in Spanish.)
Me: Oh, that's interesting. Is it like a moral stance against all the money in club football?
Argentine friend: .... No. The team is called Independiente.
