/Sounds like "soo" (as in "soup") + "PLEHN" (as in "plenty") + "teh" (as in "ten")/
A substitute player who does not start the game but is ready to enter at any moment. Across Spain and Latin America, being a suplente means waiting for your chance on the bench, and sometimes that wait ends with the most important play of the whole match.
“The sub came on at minute 60 and scored the winner.”
“He has been on the bench for three games in a row and is already losing patience.”

Follón
A mess, a chaotic scene, or a noisy scandal in Spain. A follón can be a street fight, a heated argument, or just complete disorder and confusion. The word originally referred to a coward who fled from chaos, but today it IS the chaos.
