00:00The players we will watch over the coming weeks
00:02have looked forward to this moment for their entire lives.
00:05Players like Senegal's Ismail Assar,
00:07who quit his apprenticeship as a tailor
00:09when he was a teenager in a small town
00:11on the Mauritanian border
00:12so he could chase his love of the beautiful game.
00:16Nothing about him stepping out onto this pitch was promised.
00:19Nothing about it was inevitable.
00:21Players like Panama's Jose Fajardo,
00:23who worked construction along the Panama Canal
00:25before he finally made it pro at the age of 24.
00:28When we celebrate the World Cup,
00:30we are celebrating a working class sport
00:32and the working people who play it.
