you can't be ashamed

of who you are.

- I couldn't believe it.

Not only did he keep

the fight a secret

but he knew all about

the tournament.

And he even said he hoped I'd

become a pro football player.

- Wow, that's great, Dico.

- What happened to your glasses?

- I don't want them

to call me names.

- Bingo!

- What? They're used.

And gigantic, you kidding me?

- Any other complaints?

- Senhoras e Senhores,

welcome to the final

of the bout Juventude!

Today's match, the Kings,

led by Captain Jose Altafini

versus The Shoeless Ones

led by Captain Pele!

- Acalme! Hey! Acalma!

They're just trying

to get you mad.

- It's working.

- And please,

give a warm welcome

to football legend

Waldemar de Brito!

He is scouting for

the Santos Football Club!

- Wow.

- Teams, take the field.

- Kings!

- Okay, everyone know the plan?

- When in doubt?

- Do what they do!

- Alright, boys.

May the best team win!

- Block the angle!

Block it!

- Goal! Jose Altafini.

And the Kings,

off to a quick lead.

The Kings up, 2-0.

- Watch where you're going,

Thiago!

- The Shoeless Ones,

all tripped up!

- Goal! The Kings

in perfect form!

A beautiful give-and-go!

Goal! Altafini 6-0.

- Nice moves, Pele.

- Hey, hey, let it go.

It's not worth it.

- Acalme, Dico.

- Dico, what are you doing?

- I hate these boots.

- Hey, Dico!

- Goal! Goal! Goal!

Goal!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Shoeless Ones!

- Freedom! Yeah.

- Okay.

- Come on, come on,

no time to waste.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

- Senhoras e Senhores,

hold on to your hats.

Ten minutes still on the clock

in the second half.

Let's samba!

My, my!

Goal, Pele!

5 minutes still on the clock.

G-G-Goal!

Oh my, what a move!

- Yuri!

- I'm over here, I'm open.

- Thiago!

- Yuri!

- Caramba! Goal!

The Shoeless Ones!

Goal it is.

The Shoeless Ones again!

Down to one goal!

- Come on! Come on!

Let's go!

- And that's the final whistle.

The Kings win, 6-5.

- We should have

beat those guys.

- Don't worry, Dico.

It's okay.

- Pele! Pele!

- Listen.

- Wow.

- I bet you don't mind being

called Pele now!

- Hey, boys, come here.

- Say cheese.

- Dico, Dico, Dico.

- Guys, I think someone wants

their peanuts back.

- Uh-oh.

- Come back here!

- I'm gonna get you!

- This way!

- Hurry!

- Come on, guys, jump it.

Thiago!

- Thiago, come on.

Come on! In here.

Down there, down there.

- You okay?

- I think it's sprained.

- You could get outta here,

you know?

- We're both getting outta here.

- Just give it a minute to rest.

- No, not the cave.

I mean, you could get out

of here here, Dico.

What you did today...

- Come on!

It's gonna collapse!

- Help, Dico! Help!
