Great stuff. Excellent to see the young guy so involved in the game, the corner, the pain of the missed goals and the jubilation of the scored goals.

I’m going to use this video in my lesson for deaf adults to show how these amazing people helped this guy have total access to the game. We have been looking at the World Cup and I have only just found this story. Amazing!
