With Cesar’s skills and Padre Esteban’s support, the boys hone themselves into a competitive team worthy of international competition. When the team arrives in America, they are met with racism, a language barrier and visa troubles. Though the underdogs, the team scores a series of victories that endear them to the media, and new fans. They befriend a sports reporter, Frankie (Emilie de Ravin) and the groundskeeper, Cool Papa Bell (Lou Gossett, Jr.), who then assist the boys in reaching the final game. |
