Modern Times S08E05 · Come on England!

Overview

The documentary series goes to Liverpool to meet 11-year-old Thomas and his friends as they follow the progress of the England football team over the course of the five weeks of last summer's World Cup. Their passion for the game, devotion to their team and daydreams of sporting glory are in contrast to the poverty that surrounds them in one of the country's poorest inner-cities.
