they can't go far,
there's talent here,
but somebody like me,
and they'll go out and play,

there's no income.
Street Legend: Yeah, you need to eat,
you need food.
Do you feel that people here really
appreciate the World Cup in Africa?
Local: Yes, it brings unity,
it brings everything,
it brings to joy even.
What are you recording?
Ah, the African team!
Every, every time!
Who's better:
Nemesti?
Or Christiano Ronaldo?
Edgar: Listen, I want to thank you
for your hospitality.
Promise me something,
you will do everything in your power
to really work on a lot of things,
and don't do stupid things along the way.
Vaantje: Maybe your dream will come true,
and you become a big soccer player,
maybe one day we see you
on the poster like that.
Local: We're willing to
give our commitments to you.
