Powerful World Cup advert shows there's always something to play for

This is our favourite World Cup advert yet.

THIS IS THE best World Cup commercial we’ve seen so far.

It tells the life story of Nico Calabria, a 19-year-old soccer player who was born with one leg.

The ad is composed almost entirely of home video from his childhood. It shows him as a toddler, frustrated and struggling to grasp how to play sports with his disability, and then eventually as a high-school soccer player who’s deadly accurate at free kicks.

Nico has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and he’ll play in the Amputee World Cup in autumn.

Here’s the full commercial:
