So incredibly proud of these boys today. Undefeated in their group and only knocked out after a penalty shootout. They played with heart, discipline and belief from the first whistle to the last.

A huge thank you to Coach Sean, who was absolutely brilliant. He believed in these boys before their results gave anyone else a reason to notice them. He coached with composure, protected his team from the noise on the sidelines and trusted the players he was given.

Funny how quickly overlooked talent becomes worthy of commentary once it starts outperforming expectations.

Today proved that children do not need everyone to believe in them. Sometimes they just need one coach who genuinely does.

Well done, Coach Sean. You gave these boys far more than a good tournament. ⚽👏🏽
