"There are two types of people in this world," declares the elder Munez, "People in big houses, and people like us who cut their lawns and wash their cars. "When Santiago is spotted at a local match by Brit scout Glen Foy (Stephen Dillane), he gets a chance to play in the big league with Newcastle United. However, muddy fields, cold winds and crunching blows from teammates -- not to mention personal woes, injuries, and the temptations that face all footballers these days -- are just a few of the obstacles Santiago must overcome to reach his ultimate GOAL!
