During the final of the World Cup Deo seemed to utilize his journey that took place up until this very moment to imagine family, friends, and fellow refugees watching him in the stands. I can conclude that the adversity and obstacles Deo had faced was preparing him for this very moment in the world cup. I can infer this because he employs the skills he had learned throughout his journey during the most important soccer game of his life. For example, he uses the soccer move that Aziz had taught him all those years back in Beitbridge to trick the Russian striker. Deos utilization and imagination of his family in the stands gets him through and hardest and most challenging moments and in the moment it might not be seen, but I believe every little obstacle that Deo had to face and full through benefited him in the end.

Deo and Keelan have discovered the stop on where the billion dollar soccer ball and the Bix-box were. After they had returned to the YMCA Deo had opened his brother's Bix-box. Afterward, Deo seemed to find some sympathy for his father rather than anger. In the text Deo stated, "To Innocent and Deo. It's my name. It's from my father. He wrote something to me. I've never seen this before" (Williams 211). Deo had always believed his father had never loved him. He always thought that his father only wanted to love Innocent. After the event where he found something from his brother addressed to him. I can infer Deo had let go of some of his anger. I can predict this because he said he had never seen this before, and the fact of Deo only being one years old when his father left he where to believe he only remembered Innocent rather than him. The event of finding the book gave Deo some hope within his father and realized his father actually did in fact love and remember him.

Deo playing in the championship games requires him to be on television. The interview Deo and T-Jay had with the reporter, clarified how much technology the boys are actually aware of. As they are waiting to be interviewed the boys are having a conversation while the camera man frowns at the boys. The situation showed how much the boys actually know about live tv. The conversation they were having at the time was recorded since they were attached to the microphones. I can infer my previous statements because neither of the boys had really attended school. Based on both their stories they were mostly running. This backs up my previous theory because the little information they know doesn't include technology just survival. This shows how little they know about modern day technology otherwise known as the things we take for granted.

Salie encouraged all the soccer players who will be participating in the championship games to tell their stories. Deo had struggled to provide his story but in the end I can infer that it benefited Deo for the better. "Each story is like the black-and-white patch of a soccer ball. Each one makes the ball whole" (Williams 202). Deo has learned a lot about his fellow team mates and learning each and every story has brought the team together. Salie has faith in his team and provided the best for them. Learning new information about one another benefits them because they now understand that very few of them are actually South African, and each member of the team can relate to one another since they have all be through some sense of adversity. In the end their adversity makes them stronger.

During the game against the Russians a penalty shot took place. Deo is told to attempt to score but backs down from the opportunity. In the text Deo stated, "No Ernesto,  I think the goalie knows my right foot too well. You take the shot. He won't expect that" (Williams 224). I can observe that Deo felt allowing Ernesto to take the shot was an opportunity for him to show off his skills. He made the excuse of the goalie knowing where he scores too well. Some might say Deo was not confident in his attempt at scoring, but I think under the events circumstances he thought allowing Ernesto to take the penalty shot instead of him was more beneficial.

When Deo first hears a knocking on the window he ignored. Then his curiosity got the best to him and he looked out the window to see his old friends that would give him drugs. Deo knows he is not supposed to do anymore drugs. But he remember the pain that it took away from him and still snuck out the window putting his new soccer career on the line.

When Deo first enters the refuge camp he is miserable and depressed. He wants to leave and would rather stay on the streets then in that camp. Also he is thinking about killing himself in the ocean. Just like his friend because he is depressed and does not know what to go with himself.

When Deo find the note from his dad he was aggravated and realized that his life revolved around innocent and that was his whole world and that his dad really had a connection with Innocent and that is why he was so attached to him in the first place.

When Deo first enters the field all eyes are on him. The other kids don't like him and don't think he is a good soccer player. Even when he shows them there skills they are not impressed.

When they are talking with each other about there past they all realized that they belong here just as every on else does and they have all had a rough background.

I know in this moment it is hard for Deo to tell his back story. After he has lost all of almost his whole family he feels unconformable in this moment. He knows that is back story
isn´t the best but he gets comfort from the other people around him. He says it and feels better by doing so.

At the begging they arent start that good they are down 2-0 but after they the do good. I think the are just nervous and tense. They are a pretty good team I just don´t know if they have the best chemistry. They could probably win because that is just how the book goes but I dont know what will really happen.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought I was weird that the book didn´t say who won. Maybe there is another book with the ending. I would predict they won but I dont really know what would happen because the best teams usually verse each other and I know that they lost 5-1 already so they could of lost. But as I know so far they probably won.

I thought it was weird that the kids weren´t impressed by Deos abilities. I know I would but I also am not very good at soccer. The other people don´t really like him even though he is good with may just be because they don´t really know him or something.

On this page I like the quote,´´'Together, we play the game of our lives.´´ I like how Deo finally feels like himself. He likes who he is and his background. He wants to play for everyone that helped him his family/friends too.

It seemed like everybody on this team went through something similar to Deo, but everybody used soccer as thier way of peace and comfort. Deoś story was very heartbreaking, but he found peace about talking to people about his life. I can assume that Deo never really talked to anyone and really talked about himself because Deo is a very selfless person. And now that he is talking to his teamates it is a way of socializing and now he understands that he is not alone.

Salie seems like a very accepting person because these are all different players from different countries coming together to represent south africa. I think that it is good that Salie is giving them all a chance, not only on the team but another chance on life. Because all these players have been through so much and they just want to have a home and mean something in the world, but they need soccer because they are all different but soccer really brings them all together and they all find peace in it. and i find it crazy how Salie can already feel for these players and understand them, it makes me think that she had a past similar to thiers. Also the part where she exepted all the players was really good and bad because im sure that all of the players tried thier hardest to make the team, and that must of been a big relief for thm to know that they all made it, and as a coach this was a very heartwarming thing to do.

I feel like hes seeing them because hes not good but i feel sad because he is thinking about all of that and why now. At the end of the book is sad

I wonder if Deo feels accomplished in this parrt of the book because all this time he was a refugee and constantly moving around. Than Innocent died and everything went downhill because of that, which leaded him to get addicted to glue. But after all of this he ended out being succesful and making it to the street soccer world cup. I wonder if he is more sad than happy because when he sees his famly and everyone in the stands besides Innocent that must be sad.

Deo and innocent were always poor and never had Tvs and i know that this can improve your athletic ability. And Deo is still one of the better on the team i can amagine.

When Keelen, said they were running around like u had cement blocks for feet. T-jay, what happened to your sharp passing. Then they thought Alfabeto forgot working for the past three weeks and he was not okay with patterns.

Deo wants to tell his story but he does not know if he can because. He has been doing all these things to not remind him of Innocent, and what happened in Gutu. But he days all of his adventure with Innocent and what happens in Gutu.

When deo is walking into the stadium how does he feel? I wonder if he is feeling like he wishes Innocent was here to watch. Maybe he is feeling relief that this is what he wanted to do. He is in a situation of playing against other teams and with his team trying to

win.

On the page Deo saw Innocent asking for more batteries for his radio. Ever since he wen't to this world cup he saw people that helped him in his life journey.

Let me look at that. i take the bible from her and read the message on the front page. what is it deo? "Its from my father. He wrote something to me. Ive never seen this before." Deos story is depressing.

Deo and Keelan look inside Innocents Bix Box they a pocket-knife, whistle, two batteries,  photograph, soap, deodorant, earplugs, a letter from his father, and something interesting.
