0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains strong language
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Nine teenage girls are on a trip of a lifetime. Oh, it's recording.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Us in the airport. ALL:- Yay!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13They're heading to Brazil to represent their country.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- ALL:- England!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17But this is a World Cup with a difference.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20- ANNOUNCER:- Welcome to Street Child World Cup.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23The players in this tournament have all grown up on the streets
0:00:23 > 0:00:26or away from their parents.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30And this is Team England.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34She's shit, she's shit, she's shit. I'm the best one on the team, yeah.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38A group of football-loving girls from London, all living in care.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I think I definitely felt like I had to grow up too quickly.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43There's so much I missed out on.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to go through what I did.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50They may be united by their tough backgrounds,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54but confidence and commitment don't come easy.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Come and shake hands. What is that going to look like to people?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00'A lot of the young people we're bringing out have lots of historical
0:01:00 > 0:01:04'baggage that they're carrying with them that they haven't resolved yet.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:06So what will happen when this group of girls
0:01:06 > 0:01:09leave their lives in care and face their biggest challenge?
0:01:09 > 0:01:14I do want to go home 100... I'm telling you now, I want to go home.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You all said I was shit in the beginning.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Just cos I've never been in goal, doesn't mean I'm shit.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19What?! BLEEP
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, I'm sorry!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Can the girls put their difficult past behind them...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25SHE SHOUTS
0:01:25 > 0:01:27..and pull together as a team?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31You see everyone and you see how hopeful they are for the future
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and if they can be hopeful, why can't I?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And can Team England win the World Cup?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I feel so overwhelmed.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It has to be the best experience of my life, you know?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46This is been like the biggest emotional roller coaster
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I've ever been on and I don't ever want to get off.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03My boots are a bit too big for me,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07cos you bitches, yeah, got me size five. What we doing?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Having a football coaching session.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Er, no. I'm sorry, Christmas is next like Tuesday.- Six days, guys.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Where's my present?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Christmas is next Wednesday but I still expect you here for training.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- What?!- You're funny(!) - You're taking the piss, in't ya?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21This is the story of how nine girls from London...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I can't even kick it!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25..who have never played football together before...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm not going to lie, I'm proper like dyin'.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29My hair's giving me stress and all that.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33..try to become Team England
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and, in just four months, head to Brazil
0:02:36 > 0:02:37for the Street Child World Cup
0:02:37 > 0:02:40to take on countries from across the globe.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Shit!- Unlucky.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Listen, yeah, when I heard, yeah, that these people, yeah,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49these girls in the favelas, yeah, run around in bare feet playin' football.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- They've played all their lives... - Imagine them with their crap on. - They're going to be...
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hopefully they ain't used to shoes
0:02:54 > 0:02:56and that makes them shit or something.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It's 6pm at a training ground in North London.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10The team have now been training for three months.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Coach Jack is waiting for them to turn up.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Training should be from six till seven this evening.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21No-one here as yet.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The girls haven't only been chosen for their football skills.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28They've all been removed from their parents
0:03:28 > 0:03:32and now live with foster families or in hostels and children's homes.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Hi, Jack.- Hey, Sam, you OK?- Yeah.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40First to arrive is 17-year-old team captain Sam.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Cos not everyone's turning up, we're not learning anything.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45We're not playing as a team.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So when we go out in Brazil we're going to look a bit like mugs,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49to be honest.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We're going to play a game called crab football.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, no, no, I've got dodgy nails!
0:03:54 > 0:03:5818-year-old Camille and her 17-year-old sister Olivia are both
0:03:58 > 0:04:01on the team and it's not just the coaches they're trying to impress.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05When I, um, was telling everyone in my school about it,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08all the boys just laughed and they're like, "You play football?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10"What position do you play?" And it's just like...
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And the worst thing is they'll like, "Explain the offside rule to me."
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'm like, "Can you even do that?"
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Oh!- That was right next to you.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23They leave for Brazil in just six weeks.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25That's a foul!
0:04:25 > 0:04:30You've got an hour in this session. You need to try and focus a bit.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32But with so many of the girls struggling to make it on time,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36or even at all, coach and education advisor Les
0:04:36 > 0:04:38is worried they won't be ready.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40If you can all work as a team, you've got to try and get here
0:04:40 > 0:04:43as much as you can and on time because otherwise, as a team,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45it's going to be very difficult for you to gel.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50'The young people we're bringing out, I know the difficult backgrounds
0:04:50 > 0:04:51'that they come from.'
0:04:51 > 0:04:54When we get to Brazil that'll throw up its own difficulties.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Leyla, can we have your phone away,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- please?- In a hot second. Is that all right?- No.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00'It's the unknown to all of us.'
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Come on in. Take a seat.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05'Taking a group out like this under these circumstances,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08'yeah, yeah, it's pretty tough. It's pretty tough.'
0:05:10 > 0:05:12All of you are good, man. Do you know what?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I thought everyone was going to be shit. I'm not going to lie.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15But you lot, you're good.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Basically, she's shit, she's shit, she's shit.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'm the best one on the team, yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I don't know what they think they're doing
0:05:21 > 0:05:23cos they won't make it to Brazil.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25If this was X Factor they'd be out first round.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- I was going to be positive about you lot!- I'm joking, I'm joking.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29They're actually really good.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Camille was 11 when social services removed her from the family home.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Well, when I lived with my parents,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47you were never really sure, like, if they would come home
0:05:47 > 0:05:50or if when they did, you'd be allowed to stay in the house.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53My dad especially was really temperamental.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56My dad was, like, "Get out, I don't want you in here."
0:05:56 > 0:05:57We'd have to walk.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It was literally what you had on then, get out the door,
0:06:00 > 0:06:01that's all you've got now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It wasn't easy,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09but I think it made it easier that I had my sister with me
0:06:09 > 0:06:14cos, you know, a burden shared is a burden halved, so...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Oh, you're my little munchkin. You have to come and shop with me.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- No, cos I'm not little. - Yes, you are. You're my little...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Cam and younger sister Oli now share a bedroom
0:06:23 > 0:06:26in their foster carer's house.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28This is Oli's bed and this is mine.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32And, erm, that wardrobe there, that's meant to be for Oli,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35but apparently there's my stuff in there as well.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Not only is it like going from living with family to living
0:06:38 > 0:06:41with strangers but like everything was just different.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I cried for like the first like week straight.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Even though it's been like a year or something, I still don't feel
0:06:49 > 0:06:52like comfortable here, I don't feel like it's my house.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53I still feel like a guest.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I don't even eat here.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I won't even go and get a drink from the fridge like.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00If I want a drink I'll go to the shop and get a drink.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Brazil is a chance for the sisters to leave their lives in London
0:07:06 > 0:07:08even if it's only for ten days.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14In Brazil it's like a whole new continent and a different world
0:07:14 > 0:07:16and there's so much to experience, like, I don't know,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19at times, like, I know I have so much to be grateful for
0:07:19 > 0:07:21but I do feel really ungrateful.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24And because I haven't experienced something else I feel like,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I don't know, it'll be an eye-opener.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- You kicked me!- She kicked me. She kicked me. She kicked me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I was trying to kick the ball!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I'll put you in A & E if you carry on.- All right, bitch.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Tonight, Camille and the rest of the team are heading to meet with
0:07:44 > 0:07:46the organisers of the tournament.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48How do you feel about being in something
0:07:48 > 0:07:49called the Street Child World Cup?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Does that bother you? - I'm not a street child.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55That's what I think gets me
0:07:55 > 0:07:58cos when I say it to my mates and that, they're like, "What?"
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Are you all looked after? Yeah.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04OK, so let's focus on the issue you guys have got,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07like, what it is to be a "looked after" child in the UK, yeah?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Everyone thinks it's Tracy Beaker. - Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Everyone, everyone, everyone's like, "So you're like Tracy Beaker?" No.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Generally people are very negative about looked after children.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21They think that, like, we don't go to school,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23we sit there taking drugs.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27We just basically just ruin, are just ruining our lives, and yeah...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29They don't understand what happens.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33They don't understand, like, how deep it is, to be honest.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Every street child, every homeless young person,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39they'll be seen as bad kids.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41They'll have negative stereotypes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44They are totally misunderstood and they are stigmatised.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48And that whole core of every young person, all 250 you'll meet in Rio,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50is that they don't have a family.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54So, actually, that's what I really want you to go to Rio with.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And you've got a real opportunity at Rio to go and be like,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03you know, "Yeah, OK, we're not street children under that banner
0:09:03 > 0:09:05"but there's an underlying thing."
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- There's still some similarities. - Yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think it annoys me, especially in programmes like X Factor, where
0:09:15 > 0:09:20they have a sob story just to be famous, like. I don't want that.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Like, I don't need a sob story.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Yeah, maybe I've had a bad past but, I don't need a sob story.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I'm a strong person.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I don't think us lot really need a sob story, to be honest. So, yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Sam was sent to live with foster carers
0:09:39 > 0:09:42when her mum could no longer look after her.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Obviously moving into a house, there'll be someone you don't know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50It is so scary. I was seven and, like, I was so scared.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I didn't know what was going to happen to me.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Like, all I wanted to do is be back with my mum, like.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56I just wanted to live with my mum
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and I felt like I'd been robbed from that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to go through what I did.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09But, I suppose you've got to go through the bad bits
0:10:09 > 0:10:11to get to the good bits, so, yeah.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Unlike most kids in care, Sam has been lucky enough to live
0:10:17 > 0:10:21with the same foster family for nine years.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Hello, Ginger!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25THEY LAUGH
0:10:25 > 0:10:27'Sometimes we have really big fights
0:10:27 > 0:10:31'and, like, I go off and I go stay at a mate's for a night or two.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32'I had, like,'
0:10:32 > 0:10:35a lot of issues with my anger. I couldn't control it at all.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38'My tantrums when I was like five, six, they were bad'
0:10:38 > 0:10:42and it caused me a lot of problems at home with my carer
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and, like, a lot of problems at school as well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Like, a lot of problems everywhere to be honest.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51'I think I was just angry because of what happened.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54'Take it out on everyone else.'
0:10:54 > 0:10:56When Sam goes to Rio,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57I'm hoping she enjoys herself,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00she stays safe and she learns a bit about the background
0:11:00 > 0:11:02and the needs of other people.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I think when you see something first-hand,
0:11:06 > 0:11:11that is when I'm hoping she's going to respect a lot more.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17It's now just two weeks before Team England leave for Brazil...
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- What, it's only us two? - I think it's only us.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Please tell me it's not only us two here.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25..and tonight is the first time they'll be playing
0:11:25 > 0:11:27together as a team in a match.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Do you know how much I hate this kit? I'm not even now, yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34They're up against Islington's U14s,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36and, for coach Les,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40it's his first chance to see how the girls will cope with competition.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's just an exercise in trying to find out where the girls are
0:11:42 > 0:11:45at this point really. We don't really know that much about them
0:11:45 > 0:11:47in terms of match-play scenarios.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48It's all been in training.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49You know, some of the girls smoke
0:11:49 > 0:11:52so obviously it's going to be quite tough for them.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Let's wait and see what the result is, shall we?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Where are you going? Why you walking all the way down here?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Because I don't want to get seen wearing a football kit and smoking.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I'm a bit nervous, it's our first match, innit?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Our first two matches. See how we play, innit?
0:12:08 > 0:12:13We're going to thrash them, I don't care. The timing, innit?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Leyla?- What?- Are you able to take piercings out or not?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18No, I'm not taking none of my piercings out.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- I refuse to take my piercings out. - That answered that question then(!)
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Leyla, there's no phones out there. This is a game of football.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26There's not phones you... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28This is a game of football, you don't, no, no...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Can you put it, leave it there, please, with your friend?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34We need to get serious about this. Thank you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37OK. Leyla, Olivia, let's get warmed up.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Hard work out there, innit?- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well done, Chloe. Well done.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Well done! Well done!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's a strong start for Team England.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Try and find someone. Find someone with a yellow bib. Well done, Sam.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Well done.- That's it. Better.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04But the opposition are more experienced as a team
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and towards the end of the first half, score the first goal.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10That's OK. Encourage.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Losing to a younger team knocks their confidence
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and the team starts to unravel.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Just encourage them. - All I asked for is a decent pass.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Just encourage, cos you play the game regularly, so just encourage.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29And after half-time, things go from bad to worse.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It's OK. Encourage, guys, encourage.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The more goals they concede, the more they lose heart.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46This is shit, mate.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Well done.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51When the final whistle blows, the score is 4-0.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54That's what we do at the end of a game. Sam, come on.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Sam, come on, shake hands. That's what it's about - sportsmanship.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You've got to learn how to be a sportsman.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Leyla, are you going to come and shake hands? Well, you should do.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Well done. Well done.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well done. Well played.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Really well done.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12But we lost and we failed. That's it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Do you know how much winning means to me?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I got beaten by 13-year-olds. How does that feel?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23How does that feel? Yeah, shit hurts, OK? I ain't happy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I ain't happy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:2815-year-old Sharelle is particularly annoyed,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30and now she has the two-hour journey
0:14:30 > 0:14:33back to her children's home in Ipswich.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36She was moved there after running away from her carer in London.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah, I live in this care home.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You're not allowed phones or laptops or anything.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41So, I been here for how long?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I don't need to be here so it's driving me literally up the wall.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47As she's run away so many times,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Sharelle is now chaperoned everywhere
0:14:50 > 0:14:54but the disastrous result has triggered her frustration.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Who? Who? Who?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Ignoring her chaperone,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Sharelle takes the opportunity to run out of sight.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Les is trying to track her down.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yeah, Jack, what's up?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- 'Can you hear me?'- Yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25'Is there any particular areas that she goes to?'
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I mean, the obvious things would be,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31does she have any contacts down here from the past?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33And if so, what areas would they be?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Cos at least that would give us a good idea about where she might go
0:15:36 > 0:15:39and where she might pick up the transport links to do that.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40There might be obvious places.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42For instance, I don't know how much food she ate
0:15:42 > 0:15:45so would it be worth stopping off at a McDonald's or something?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49It's worrying that she's out on her own so I mean, that's the key really,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52to try and get her back safely and as quickly as possible,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and also, erm, the longer term is
0:15:56 > 0:15:57do we risk taking her to Brazil?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59You know, that's the other big question.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02OK. All right, no problem.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04See you in a while. Bye.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Every procedure is followed but Sharelle isn't found
0:16:07 > 0:16:11so the police are called and she's reported as officially missing.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The next day, Sharelle hands herself in to the police...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26..and then turns up for training.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Where I went, I basically stayed at a friend's house in Camden.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I stayed at their house for the night
0:16:32 > 0:16:34and I just spent the whole day with all my friends.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38A really nice day. It was a gamble, it really was a gamble,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40but I knew that I needed it for myself.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Even if I didn't get to go Brazil, at least I'm happier within myself
0:16:43 > 0:16:46instead of being upset all the time and being peed off.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I almost hit a member of staff with a chair, which was pretty bad.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Then that showed me that I'm getting a lot worse.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55What I did cheered me up a lot. It got me...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I feel like I'm back on track now.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02After speaking to a social worker, it's now down to Les to decide
0:17:02 > 0:17:04if Sharelle can still go to Brazil.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08For anybody that runs away this close to us going away,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10it's going to be of concern.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13We know that it's about going to and visiting friends and family,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15because you're placed a long way away from them.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I mean, hopefully, that won't be the case in Brazil
0:17:18 > 0:17:21but I just think the fact is a little bit different.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- We're throwing out of our hands. - Oh, so that was the throw-ons?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- Yeah.- All right then.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Are you ready?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Les decides to let Sharelle stay and it's a boost to the whole team.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm on time and I put my phone away so I ain't going to be on it
0:17:35 > 0:17:38so I can work harder and focus more.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Go for it! Well done. Good.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43With just one week until they leave the country,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47it's their last chance to train and the girls give it their all.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Well done! Good football, you guys. Good tackle.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It was good actually because everyone turned up.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57We was passing and that, so, yeah, it was good.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I think the best we've ever played to be honest.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02WHISTLE BLOWS
0:18:02 > 0:18:03OK, come on in, guys.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's 7am at Heathrow Airport
0:18:18 > 0:18:22and Team England are preparing to leave for Brazil.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26They will spend the next ten days playing football for their country
0:18:26 > 0:18:29against teenagers from broken homes around the world.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34But right now, they've only got one thing on their minds.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- All right?- Oh, it's recording. - Us in the airport, yeah?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39All tryin' to squeeze our head in the camera frame.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Yeah, but, erm, we're standing here...- I'm trying to fix my hair.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Yeah, like, we're basically just here trying to check in but it's upsetting
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- cos once we check in we can't have a fag.- Exactly.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So I think I might have to pop out and have another one, still.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- You all right, Sharelle?- What's up? - All right, babes?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56I'm just cussin' Jack about his clashness.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01For Sharelle, this trip is even more special.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05For the first time in months, she won't have a personal chaperone.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08In Ipswich, they watch everywhere you go
0:19:08 > 0:19:11because they think you're going to run away or something.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I mean, it's nice to like not be watched 24/7,
0:19:14 > 0:19:15if you get what I mean?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19I hate it so much. To be away with the girls is lovely, you know?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Yeah, how are you Sam, OK? - Yeah, I'm good.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Looking forward to it?- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm looking forward to getting there and getting a suntan.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- CAPTAIN ANNOUNCES:- Special people on board the aeroplane today.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Team England.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42THEY CHEER
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Are you not supposed to be driving it? Like why, why are you talking?
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- CAPTAIN:- The crew would like to wish you the very best of luck.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Thank you!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I want to be in Rio.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Sorry, I'm a bit excited.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20After a ten-hour flight and five months together as a team,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22the girls finally set foot in Rio.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Am I allowed to smoke out here?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I don't care. I don't give a fuck.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Babe, before we get arrested in Brazil, yeah, let's find out.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30That's all I care about at the moment.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I don't care about anything else and I'm sweating my arse off.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Sharelle, can I have a fag please? - What kind of heat is this?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Thank you, love.- This is dirty.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Fucking hell it's hot!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Will I get a tan with a 50 factor?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Let's go. Let's finish up and jump on the coach.- Yeah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54The girls now have an hour's coach journey from Rio
0:20:54 > 0:20:57to the remote campus where they'll be staying.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It's their first glimpse of a country
0:21:00 > 0:21:01none of them has visited before...
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Can you see the mountains here?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- What's mountains? - That's...that's mountains.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08..including the favela slums.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Look at these houses, please. Is this OK?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14How do people live in them? That's not fair?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17The walls are missing and the people just living in there. Oh, my God!
0:21:20 > 0:21:22By the time the team arrive,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24they've been travelling for almost 24 hours.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29CHEERING
0:21:29 > 0:21:32But, despite the late hour, their hosts are out in full force.
0:21:32 > 0:21:38CHEERING AND CHANTING
0:21:38 > 0:21:41It's a warm welcome that none of the girls were expecting.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I feel famous!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I'm feeling really nervous!
0:21:46 > 0:21:51I weren't expecting that like, what. Waaay! I was like cheering myself.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Game on.- I just want to sleep.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56With most of the other teams already in bed,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58the girls are ready to call it a night.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03All right, cool, yeah? This is our room. Look at the beds then.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05We have two bunk beds.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07But they aren't the only ones in the dorms.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11What?! Oh my Lord Jesus!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13These big arse cockroaches, no lying.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15There's a spider up there, yeah?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I jumped up on a bed and all the rest of them ran out the room still.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Did you just see me? I was Usain Boltin' out of that room.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25You got bugs and shit chilling in the thing.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I know, like, I know I sound ungrateful and that
0:22:27 > 0:22:30but that's taking the piss.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I'm itchin'. My whole body's just itchin'.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Bug spray if you want. - Bug spray, yes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Most of the girls are content with some insect repellent.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I'm a little white girl. I'm not used to this shit.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51But 17-year-old Leyla is still struggling to cope.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54No, it doesn't. It looks like fucking shit.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00I do want to go home. I'm telling you now, I want to go home.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Did you expect them to fumigate the whole country for you?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I did. No, I expected it to be something like a hotel.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Do you think in hotels they don't have these things?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Of course they have these things in hotels.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14In front of the other kids, let's try keep it calm, yeah?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I don't want them to make up a bad name for the Team England, you know.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Leyla's extreme reaction is being triggered by some distressing
0:23:21 > 0:23:23childhood memories.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24There are some things
0:23:24 > 0:23:25I don't want to remember.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27A LOT of things I don't want to remember from my past.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Some what happened,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31you witness something like imagine someone getting hit
0:23:31 > 0:23:34and you'll be like, "I remember my dad used to hit me," kind of thing.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37It just brings you back and forth to how life used to be
0:23:37 > 0:23:38and it'll always happen.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42I don't see my dad. I'm not allowed to see my dad so definitely no.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I don't even want to talk about my dad.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56In the UK, Leyla is more at home in a beauty salon.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I love getting my nails done. I think it's nice.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03I'd say if I don't look good, I don't enjoy my day to be honest.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05To make sure when I leave I look on point.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Leyla currently lives with a foster carer after being
0:24:09 > 0:24:12moved from her family home at the age of 13.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16I have ten sisters including me and two brothers. Quite a big family.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Partly the reason why we came in care, my mum and dad split up.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23My mum couldn't look after 12 of us alone.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27I was expecting care to be better. I'm not going to lie.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I didn't think it would be this hard.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Even if you have a nice carer, your own bedroom,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36everything you get in care that's good,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39it'll never be the same as being with your family.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42The hardest bit is definitely from seeing your family every day
0:24:42 > 0:24:45to seeing them once a month.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48And, you also, it was that once a month where you've got a good
0:24:48 > 0:24:51two hours that's all you got, that little two hours supervised.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Every action, every movement, every word you spoke,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55you'd have it written down on paper.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Always observing you. Everything like annoyed me.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03If I was to ever have my own family, have my kids, a husband,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'd always make sure the way I grew up,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08the things I went through will never happen to my kids.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I'll give them what I never got, kind of thing,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15which will make me even happier, knowing that.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Back in Brazil, Leyla still wants to go home
0:25:24 > 0:25:28so she runs to find Janet - one of the social workers on the trip.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- I don't want to do it. - What's the matter, baby?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I don't want to stay here. I refuse to stay here.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I'm so shook right now, yeah, I don't like it.- All right.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And you don't understand, my heart is hurting now.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42All right, you need to look at me, look at me. You need to calm down.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44A lot of people don't have this option.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46You've got an option - "Oh, I want to go home."
0:25:46 > 0:25:49But a lot of people don't have that, you understand? This is their life.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52And this is good compared to what some of them are living.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Not saying that you have to get used to it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Let's just deal with it, yeah? It's not nice for anybody.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It's going to look oh so different in the morning.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I'm not... I can't... I'm not...
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I don't even trust myself to sleep in there. So I wake up to a bug,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11I'll physically have a heart attack there and then.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12I'll have a heart attack.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Early the next morning,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37teams of street children from around the world are out training.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41THEY CHANT
0:26:44 > 0:26:47But not Team England.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48KNOCKING
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Morning.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Social worker Janet attempts a wake-up call.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Morning. Breakfast is served, yeah?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00OK?
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Cam?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Go away.- Sam?
0:27:10 > 0:27:14An hour later, England are all up and acclimatising.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Team India's out at five in the morning.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I go out at about half six and Indonesia's training.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's just mental.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26They've just been enjoying their downtime really.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Tanning's a priority right now.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35In the sunshine, everyone is finding it easier to settle in.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Even Leyla.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41This morning, I was feeling guilty for my actions that I did yesterday
0:27:41 > 0:27:44because it was fucking disgusting the way I reacted to the building
0:27:44 > 0:27:47and that, and the way the place was.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I think I slightly misjudged it in a sense as well.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I'm feeling much more positive now
0:27:53 > 0:27:55because I've had a better day today than yesterday.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02For now, Leyla's happy to stay
0:28:02 > 0:28:05but it might take her a while longer to get used to the wildlife.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07What?!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Don't play with me.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11- That thing there, look.- A butterfly.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13No, that's not a butterfly, that's...
0:28:13 > 0:28:15That's a wasp, cus.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- I'm hitting it with this boot. - Holy shit!
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Man, I ain't got no shoes on! Don't...
0:28:29 > 0:28:32At dinner time, the teams face another challenge -
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Brazilian cuisine on campus.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40It's a far cry from their UK favourites of burgers,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42chicken and kebabs.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47They serve fish at lunch. I don't eat fish.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Then at breakfast it's only bread rolls.- Urgh!
0:28:50 > 0:28:52And then dinner is normally the same as lunch
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and they'll put a bit of meat in it.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I want to eat McDonald's and Subway.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I think I just got bit on my bum. Oh!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Camille and Sam aren't the only ones struggling.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08THEY CHATTER
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Chloe found a toenail in hers. - Just now?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Disgusting. My food is disgusting.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31MUSIC: "Team" by Lorde # Look upon your greatness
0:29:31 > 0:29:33# As she'll send the call out
0:29:33 > 0:29:35# Send the call out
0:29:35 > 0:29:36# Send the call out
0:29:36 > 0:29:37# Send the call out
0:29:37 > 0:29:38# Send the call out... #
0:29:38 > 0:29:39It's day two
0:29:39 > 0:29:44and this morning, Jack's determined to get Team England on the pitch.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46OK, guys, are you all ready for kit?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- It's all one size?- Yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Go on, then.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- We're doing training, apparently. - Playing on grass?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58So everybody on studs, please.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03It's hot and I've got kids' shin pads, so, yeah.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06And I'm sweating.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10First the girls are put through their paces with a warm-up.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13# ..A hundred jewels on throats
0:30:13 > 0:30:15# A hundred jewels between teeth
0:30:15 > 0:30:17# Now bring my boys in
0:30:17 > 0:30:20# Their skin in craters like the moon
0:30:20 > 0:30:23# The moon we love like a brother
0:30:23 > 0:30:25# While he glows through the room
0:30:25 > 0:30:26# Dancing around the lies we tell
0:30:26 > 0:30:28# Dancing around big eyes as well... #
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Hoping to motivate the team,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33the coaches have arranged a practice match before the tournament starts.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36One thing I'll just say, that we will be playing a friendly
0:30:36 > 0:30:38against the Philippines at the end of this training session
0:30:38 > 0:30:41so you'll be able to put what you've learnt into practice,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44ahead of tomorrow's first match, OK?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Who are we having a match with? - The Philippines.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50This is England's first chance to check out the opposition
0:30:50 > 0:30:53and meet street kids from another country.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56But, so far, most of the girls don't seem bothered.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05No, I've seen the Philippines around but I've never seen them train
0:31:05 > 0:31:08so I don't know how they play or if they're good or not.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10But some of them are quite small actually.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13It's going to be weird like playing with something that's down to there.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16They're this big. They're going to be running through our legs
0:31:16 > 0:31:18and we're never going to see it coming.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I've said that from England, we're going to lose.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I don't know why you're just realising now,
0:31:22 > 0:31:23when I've been warning you lot for months.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Come on. Come on, Sharelle. - I'm smoking, mate.- Come over.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- We're about to play a game of football.- I'm smoking, mate.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Team Philippines were brought up on the streets
0:31:42 > 0:31:45and have been training daily to prepare for the tournament.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Now, we need... Guys, just listen up one minute.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Let's just have a little... Let's just...
0:31:51 > 0:31:53THEY CHATTER
0:31:53 > 0:31:56This is only the girls' second match.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Guys, guys, just one minute.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Coaches Les and Jack are hoping the team will not only
0:32:01 > 0:32:04focus on the game, but cope if they lose.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07What we do need to do is work hard together and talk to each other,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09communicate the whole time.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12This pitch isn't great, so it's got to be short passes all the way.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15One, two, three...
0:32:15 > 0:32:18ALL: ENGLAND!
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Team England start strong in defence...
0:32:27 > 0:32:29WHISTLE BLOWS
0:32:29 > 0:32:32..but once the Philippines get the ball, they're hard to stop.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39In their last match, losing a goal knocks their confidence,
0:32:39 > 0:32:43but today they're pulling together as a team.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48They even start fighting back with Sharelle leading the attack.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Well done, Sharelle, well done.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Well kept.- Excellent. Brilliant.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58But the strong strikers on the other team are hard to contain.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well done.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Good, well done, Chloe, well done.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Well done, Louise. You put her under pressure there. Well done.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11And despite not giving up, it's 4-0 as the whistle blows.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13WHISTLE BLOWS
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Well done, girls. - Shake hands, guys, shake hands.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Well done. You played really well.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22The team may have lost, but after giving it their all,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24they're in high spirits.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It was all right, you know.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Like even though they won, we're a lot better as a team.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31First time we've lost and I'm still happy.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35They did very, very well. They were competitive.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39They will probably come off thinking, "We want to do a little bit better."
0:33:39 > 0:33:40But they're already doing the right things.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44They're saying the right things and that is a real big shift for me.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46One thing I can't fault out there was your attitude,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48your effort, your work rate.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50That was really good and really clear for everybody to see.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53If you go in with that level of spirit, I think we'll do all right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'm not even going to lie.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- We are doing so much better than we did last time.- Yeah?
0:33:57 > 0:33:58I'm loving you guys.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It's like you guys are sick out there. I'm not even joking.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03These girls, yeah, they've been training hard,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06but from where we've all come from, people who don't play football a lot,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08we have done so well. We've tackled them girls. We went for it.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You've worked hard out there, guys.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Even though they won, we're still on it, you know.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Now we just know what we've done wrong.- Hands in again, guys.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Three, two, one.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18ALL: ENGLAND!
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Excellent. Well done.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Their last defeat in England
0:34:26 > 0:34:30triggered Sharelle to run away from her children's home.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34I remember I was talking to my social worker and he told me that my record,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37I'd gone missing 143 times.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40And some of them it was like for a week or two weeks.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I would go out and do all this stupid shit
0:34:42 > 0:34:46just cos I was trying to clear my head in a bad way.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I've ended up in Ipswich because of it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51My whole life I've never had my parents about.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Most of my life at least, so I'm used to not having that motivation.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57I'm used to not having, like, having somebody push me all the time
0:34:57 > 0:34:59telling me, "Yeah, Sharelle, you've got to do this.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01"Sharelle, you've got to do that."
0:35:01 > 0:35:04And so I have to sort of take it off my own back and grow up a bit.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09If I don't, you know, do well, I'm going to end up nowhere
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and I don't want to be, I don't want to, you know,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14just prove the stereotype of care kids cos that's what we get -
0:35:14 > 0:35:18"Oh, you're going to be a hood rat. You're going to be selling drugs."
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Not everybody ends up like that, you know. It is annoying.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Perceptions people have of care kids,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28they usually think that we're a lot of trouble.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31And, to be honest, kids in care, it's never their fault.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I can never blame it on a kid for what happened to them
0:35:34 > 0:35:37because the way they turn out is the way they were raised.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39And a lot of care kids haven't been raised right
0:35:39 > 0:35:41so you have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Care kids are normal people, just with bad histories.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05COACHES AND PLAYERS CHANT
0:36:08 > 0:36:11It's 6am on their third day -
0:36:11 > 0:36:13the official start to the tournament.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16For the first time, the girls are all up and raring to go.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19We've had an epiphany. We woke up...
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Every time we wake up in the morning, yeah,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23we go shower, they're coming back from training.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- So we figure to each other...- We go swimming.- Yeah, and we go swimming.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I'm thinking to myself, "Why are we not training?"
0:36:29 > 0:36:32So everybody brought all the girls together and then we're like,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34"Yep, training, we're going to do some shots,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37"we're going to do everything."
0:36:37 > 0:36:39If we score, what's our little tease?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45As training this early was their own idea, captain Sam leads the session.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47You know the Philippines were like this, yeah?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Sharelle would come out and they was like that
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and they just banged it in, do you know what I mean?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Cos we're not just going to take shots just from the penalty point.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56Do you know what I mean?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58When we kick it, kick it down.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02I feel like we're properly getting it together now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04We're taking it seriously. We came out before breakfast.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We got ourselves out of bed.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Just like made a team decision like without adults to come and train.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13The girls are starting to take the tournament more seriously
0:37:13 > 0:37:15and they're even beginning to enjoy it.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Everyone said they were fine with it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27It's all good. I was hot anyway.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Times like this are something Camille feels she's missed out on
0:37:30 > 0:37:32in the past.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36I think I definitely felt like I had to grow up too quickly.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I mean, like, even now when I think about it,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41I have my moments where I just want to cry about it
0:37:41 > 0:37:44cos I feel like there's so much I missed out on.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It was hard.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I felt like everyone got to enjoy their childhood while, you know,
0:37:49 > 0:37:55I was going home every day to make sure my sister got home OK.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Then we'd share the cooking.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02It felt like we were the parents to each other
0:38:02 > 0:38:04when really it shouldn't have been like that.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10In Brazil, Camille doesn't just have her sister to rely on.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13There's a whole team who have experienced life in care.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Since this, like we talk a lot more.- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21We're a lot more closer, definitely. So we've got a lot in common.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26- Being in care is something that plays a major part in your life.- Yeah.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29So having friends that don't really get it can be hard sometimes
0:38:29 > 0:38:32but when we're in football, we all have that in common.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- You don't have to worry.- Generally, we don't ask a lot of questions.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Oh, like, "Why are you in care?"
0:38:36 > 0:38:39cos other people that are not in care they generally ask questions
0:38:39 > 0:38:41cos they don't understand it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Whereas us lot we're like, "Yeah, we're in care. Doesn't matter.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46"It's not a problem. Like whatever, innit?"
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Some of the reasons are a bit deep.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52So we know that, like, it's not appropriate to ask.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56But I think other people, they don't have that, they don't get that like,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58"Oh, that could be a reason. Let me not ask
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- "cos it might be uncomfortable for them."- Yeah.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Before the tournament starts,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18all the teams will be taking part in the opening ceremony.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21ANNOUNCER: Now please welcome, the athletes!

0:39:41 > 0:39:44All this pressure is starting to get to captain, Sam.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56Adding to her stress,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Sam wants a different team line-up to coach, Les.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09But you lot don't know... Oh, shut up, man.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13You lot don't even know what you're fucking talking about, bruv.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17They saw us train...
0:40:17 > 0:40:20They saw us training, me and Olivia, as midfield
0:40:20 > 0:40:22and everyone else as defence, yeah,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25so why are they trying to switch it up and make Olivia defence?
0:40:25 > 0:40:28They don't know what they're fucking talking about.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30They don't know how to fucking play, man.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Fuck's sake, man.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- Did I say there was "I" in team? - I was just saying.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Did I say there was "I" in team? No. Fuck off, man.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Despite Sam's outburst, Les leaves her to calm down.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I just think they've gone into meltdown.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58It's getting close, they're really nervous
0:40:58 > 0:41:00and they're just, kind of, yeah...
0:41:00 > 0:41:03edges are fraying, their edges are fraying a little bit, really.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06They just need to try and keep it together, really.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20- It was a bit long, though. - Is my face sunburnt?
0:41:20 > 0:41:25- I'm sweating everywhere.- Where?
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Oh, no, I knew I could sweat from them.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30You know how hot I am, man?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I was sitting there next to so many people, yeah.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35All I was feeling was me breathing in recycled air.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39I was just sitting there trying to be happy, getting hot.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40When we were all singing, I was like,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43"No!" We were all crouched together, I'm like, "I need to breathe.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46"I don't come from this country. I don't understand."
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I'm feeling really hot, though.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I've got a bit of a headache coming on.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I should probably stop smoking then.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55My head's really hurting.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57But there's no time to cool down.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Their first match of the tournament is about to kick off.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15are England's opposition, Mozambique.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Many of the players have lost parents to war.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22They were brought together to play football and to protect them
0:42:22 > 0:42:23from the risks of the streets.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27WHISTLE BLOWS

0:42:37 > 0:42:38CHEERING

0:42:44 > 0:42:45Come on, keep going.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49It's a crushing blow to Team England after putting in so much effort.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And just before halftime, they concede another goal.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59That's 2-0 to Mozambique.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02OK, encourage now. Come on, encourage. We're playing well.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Guys, you're doing really well out there. You're working really hard.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14Shut up. You know we're not doing well.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Feeling the pressure, the girls slip into old habits.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22They can't hide their frustration.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Chloe and Sharelle, you can't play flat because
0:43:24 > 0:43:27when you play flat like that... Half the time when you went for the ball
0:43:27 > 0:43:30you were both beside each other. So what you need to do is turn around.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32But one of you needs to get the ball.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34If it's not coming to you, you won't set each other up.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37If you see that happening, just shout on them,
0:43:37 > 0:43:39tell them to come straight back and help us.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42It's easier if we can break together instead of passing it to them.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44OK.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47ANNOUNCER: Show some support. They're about to kick off. Let's go.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49CHEERING
0:43:57 > 0:43:58SAM GROANS
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Sam's tackle flares up an old knee injury.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05ANNOUNCER: Boys, can we get some medical assistance?
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- She has knee injuries from before. - She what?
0:44:12 > 0:44:15She has knee injuries from before and it's the same knee.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17Sam, Sam, Sam?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Guys, can you give them a bit of space?
0:44:20 > 0:44:23There's no other person in the team that plays midfield or proper
0:44:23 > 0:44:26knows how to do it, cos that's just my position.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29I thought, "Well, if I don't get up,
0:44:29 > 0:44:32"the team's going to lose more than we already are."
0:44:32 > 0:44:35..Yeah, well.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40You'll have to go in the middle of the park.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41You'll have to go in the middle.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Liah will go in defence.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50'I just want to power through it, to be honest.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52'So I thought, "I'd just better get up."'
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Hold on, no, she's all right. Hold on, she's all right.
0:44:54 > 0:44:55'The adrenaline was pumping through,
0:44:55 > 0:44:58'so when I started running, I couldn't feel the pain.'
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Well done.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Spurred on, Team England start to attack.
0:45:05 > 0:45:06Go on, go on!
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Oh, unlucky. Good effort.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Minutes later, they secure a free kick.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16Oh, unlucky.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Well done, Oli.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21So close to goal, it's England's best chance yet.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Key striker Chloe steps up.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33WHISTLE BLOWS
0:45:37 > 0:45:39ANNOUNCER: And it's a goal for England!
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Make some noise for England, come on!
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Now just one goal behind, England are back in the game.
0:45:47 > 0:45:48RHYTHMIC WHISTLING
0:45:49 > 0:45:51CROWD: England!
0:45:51 > 0:45:54But seconds later, Mozambique score again.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58It's over.
0:46:04 > 0:46:08ANNOUNCER: Mozambique 3, England 1.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13Guys, you've got to shake hands. Leyla, go and shake hands, please.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15Come on. Come and shake hands, that's what you've got to do.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17That's what we said last time.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19What is that going to look like to people?
0:46:19 > 0:46:21Come on, shake hands, it's just a game, you know.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25And, no... We were... You played well. You played well.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27I shook their hand.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Yeah, but it's not... It's not the team's fault. Shake hands, then.
0:46:30 > 0:46:31MUSIC: "A World Alone" by Lorde
0:46:31 > 0:46:33# That slow burn wait
0:46:33 > 0:46:35# While it gets dark
0:46:38 > 0:46:40# Complain about work
0:46:40 > 0:46:42# They're studying business
0:46:42 > 0:46:44# I study the floor... #
0:46:51 > 0:46:54At the end of the day, I'm not here to be judgmental about young people.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I know the difficult backgrounds that they come from.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01It's just that the pressure of wanting to do your best
0:47:01 > 0:47:05and wanting to win can sometimes make for chaos, really.
0:47:05 > 0:47:10And...and...we just try to manage it in the best way we can, really.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14I'm annoyed.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18I'm fucking pissed off.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20Do you know what the problem is? Whenever we lose,
0:47:20 > 0:47:22we say we'll learn from what we've done wrong.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24But no-one fucking learns. Everyone just plays the same.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26- It's not even that. - That's what I think it is.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Half the time when people are booting the ball,
0:47:29 > 0:47:30they just boot it into fucking midair.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32They're not even aiming or looking at anyone.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35They just bang it. That's it. That's all people do.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39But at least one member of the team is feeling positive.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42I think we did all right. Not bad.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44At least we scored one goal, that's all I'm saying.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48For now, the girls call it a day.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51But if they lose their next group match,
0:47:51 > 0:47:53they'll be out of the tournament.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Next morning, still sore from their defeat,
0:48:01 > 0:48:05Team England are being forced into an early start.
0:48:05 > 0:48:11It's five o'clock now and we've been up for a lot longer than this.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16We're all getting ready to go to Christ the Redeemer today.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18So everyone's excited.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22I think everyone's just tired, cos it's so early.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25I know, personally, I just want to go back to sleep.
0:48:27 > 0:48:32I'm not made for early mornings in England. Especially not in Brazil.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Today, there are no matches.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39Instead, the event organisers are taking all the teams to
0:48:39 > 0:48:41one of Brazil's most famous sights.
0:48:41 > 0:48:42Christ the Redeemer.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47It's just a big statue of Jesus Christ doing that, innit?
0:48:48 > 0:48:50It's really like holy, innit?
0:48:50 > 0:48:54The trip's also been planned to give the teams the chance to spend
0:48:54 > 0:48:56time together and get to know each other.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59Leyla, come on. Sorry.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01The bus ain't come yet. I'm outside.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02Come on.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I'll just sit there then.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10England will share a coach with Mozambique,
0:49:10 > 0:49:12who beat them in yesterday's match.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Mozambique, yeah!
0:49:15 > 0:49:19And one of the favourites to win the tournament, Brazil.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21BRAZILIAN TEAM CHANT
0:49:21 > 0:49:26For many on board, the visit to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue
0:49:26 > 0:49:28is a trip of a lifetime.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31CHANTING
0:49:36 > 0:49:39And more than anything, they want Team England to join in.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43No.
0:49:43 > 0:49:44No.
0:49:46 > 0:49:47I don't understand.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52In the beginning, when we first got on the coach,
0:49:52 > 0:49:54I kind of wanted to just put my headphones in and sleep.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56I was really tired.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57CHEERING AND CHANTING
0:50:03 > 0:50:06It was a bit awkward because we had two Portuguese-speaking
0:50:06 > 0:50:08teams on the coach with us.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Obviously we don't speak Portuguese and they don't speak English.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13SINGING IN PORTUGUESE CONTINUES
0:50:19 > 0:50:22They really like tried hard to involve us.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Once we were all involved, it was amazing.
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Eventually, they start to win the girls around.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Having got Sharelle up dancing,
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Brazil are looking for another performance.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42No.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43- Sing.- No.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45What is your name?
0:50:45 > 0:50:46Sharelle.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Sharelle.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Sharelle - beautiful.
0:50:50 > 0:50:51Aw!
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Aw!
0:50:55 > 0:50:57Now you have to. Now you have to sing.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Oh, God.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04# He ain't fly, though
0:51:04 > 0:51:06# He don't even drive, though
0:51:06 > 0:51:08# That's why you're calling my phone
0:51:08 > 0:51:11# And won't leave me alone
0:51:11 > 0:51:13# He ain't fly, no
0:51:13 > 0:51:15# You ain't got to lie, no
0:51:15 > 0:51:18# Don't lie it's why you're calling my phone
0:51:18 > 0:51:20# And you're wanting me to get, get, get it
0:51:20 > 0:51:22# Beat, beat, beat it... #
0:51:22 > 0:51:23'We made friends up here'
0:51:23 > 0:51:25that are a lot more than the friends you make back home.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29'No matter what language they speak. It's also making the friends.'
0:51:29 > 0:51:34Football's lovely, but I... It's the experience that got to me.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35# Beat, beat, beat it
0:51:35 > 0:51:37# You wanting me to beat, beat, beat it
0:51:37 > 0:51:39# Beat, beat, beat it
0:51:39 > 0:51:40# Beat, beat, beat it... #
0:51:40 > 0:51:42APPLAUSE
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Thank you, guys. Obrigado.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47I think when they first came, our group was a bit guarded
0:51:47 > 0:51:52and not really knowing how they're going to communicate with others.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57But on the bus, that was it. To me, the ice had broken.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01They just said, "Oh." Put their hands up and that was it,
0:52:01 > 0:52:04just get involved. They did. It was amazing.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Brazil! Brazil!
0:52:08 > 0:52:09Woo!
0:52:09 > 0:52:11CHANTING
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Yesterday's loss to Mozambique is soon forgotten.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18You know what?
0:52:18 > 0:52:21It was so amazing because we communicated through dance
0:52:21 > 0:52:23and singing and making beats and that
0:52:23 > 0:52:25with people who don't really speak a lot of English,
0:52:25 > 0:52:28and we don't speak a lot of Portuguese.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30And it was just... It was...
0:52:30 > 0:52:32I just felt like... I was just so happy, innit?
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Aw.
0:52:36 > 0:52:40Being at one of the world's most religious sites is affecting
0:52:40 > 0:52:41one of the team in particular.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48I'm shook. I'm so shook of heights right now.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Oh, my days.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54It feels amazing. Oh, my God, you don't understand.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57I need to go and take more pictures and that.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Oh, my Lord Jesus, that is beautiful.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02I don't know. I just don't know what it is. It's just beautiful.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05They didn't have to do this, but out of their own hearts,
0:53:05 > 0:53:08they decided to put a statue of him. It's amazing.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10It's a spectacle.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12I read the Bible and that.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14So it was nice to actually do something
0:53:14 > 0:53:15not just reading the Bible,
0:53:15 > 0:53:18you've gone and you've witnessed something to do with the Bible,
0:53:18 > 0:53:21like Jesus's statue, like, it's amazing.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25When I read it, I feel like I'm more safe and protected, in some sense.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30I like it. When I'm scared, I'll say a quick prayer.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33I feel like that'll help me get through things, and that.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Some of the other players are appreciating Cristo
0:53:37 > 0:53:39for very different reasons.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Please do not even talk to me right now. I'm too...
0:53:43 > 0:53:44The rice and beans.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47We have been deprived of this good,
0:53:47 > 0:53:50this good stuff for a very long time.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Just biting into it is like heaven.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58Like, I haven't even got time to talk to you guys, if I'm honest.
0:53:58 > 0:53:59I just want to eat my burger.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05I might get another one.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Oh, my God, Sharelle, I'm on fire.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15I don't know which part of me hurts most.
0:54:18 > 0:54:19That's Jesus up there.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23I'd leave London for this. This right here.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25I could live this life any day.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Forget the cold arse winters and snow.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Live where everybody is genuinely happy
0:54:31 > 0:54:35and not trying to fake smile because they don't want to screw face.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40It's beautiful. It's so lovely up here.
0:54:43 > 0:54:48It's amazing. I've just learnt how to embrace people's cultures.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52It's definitely opened my eyes. I feel so overwhelmed.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57The view and the coming together with Mozambique and Brazil.
0:54:57 > 0:54:58It's just overwhelming.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Today has been amazing. It was so lovely on the coach,
0:55:03 > 0:55:08and then coming up here and seeing the statue - it's breathtaking.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14You look out and you just see green.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18You look up and everyone's happy and smiling.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22I believe I've come home. I'm not in Rio, I'm home.
0:55:22 > 0:55:23Yeah, I believe this is home.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26MUSIC: "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit
0:55:26 > 0:55:30# We have travelled land and sea
0:55:30 > 0:55:34# But as long as you are with me... #
0:55:36 > 0:55:38- Next time...- Oh, shit!
0:55:38 > 0:55:40No-one else wants to play there.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Why are we going to put our strongest defenders in goal?
0:55:42 > 0:55:44..being in Brazil begins to take its toll.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47- We don't need to change it. - Yes, we need to work as a team.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Excuse me, we cannot have all this chaos all the time.
0:55:49 > 0:55:51A lot of the arguments we're having just shouldn't happen.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55I think there is a lot of tension building up between everybody.
0:55:55 > 0:55:56Move about!
0:55:56 > 0:55:59- That was really embarrassing. - OK, I'm sorry.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02The girls learn what life is really like for some of the other players.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06You're on a different side of the world, and it's still the same issue.
0:56:09 > 0:56:10And Team England...
0:56:12 > 0:56:16..find out if they're through to the final or going home.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20But I want to win. I didn't come all the way to Brazil to draw.
