- Welcome to What's Inside, family.
Today is a special video
where I'm going to introduce you to
the greatest World Cup championship
that happens every four years.
So today I came all the way out here to Madrid
to the IBSA Blind Football Championships.
This is a world championships that happens every four years.
No joke, guys.
These guys are blind or they have
limited sight and they wear masks
over their eyes so that they can't see.
They are running around playing football,
or for us Americans, playing soccer.
We're gonna see how good
they actually are and teach you guys
a little bit about blind football.
What the heck is it and how does it work
and what are the rules
and are these guys actually good at football?
We're gonna find out.
(inspirational music)
Now you got the referee checking
the eye masks of everybody.
The goalie is one that leads them
out because he is not blind
and he does not have a mask over his eyes.
(inspirational music)
(announcer speaks in foreign language)
The first match of the day
that we are going to see is Morocco versus Spain.
Spain is the home team.
That's why everybody's celebrating right now.
They obviously have the biggest crowd.
In every one of the bleachers
there are people celebrating Spain.
They have flags.
It's real exciting.
This is my first match I ever get to see.
Spain is the home team.
Brazil is the retuning champion.
They won four years ago and they want to defend that.
This is so cool.
All right, let's just take this in and learn.
(inspirational music)
(players speak in foreign language)
(referee blows whistle)
Okay, that was a really hard hit.
Looks like he lost like his front tooth, seriously.
The guy lost two teeth, his two front teeth, seriously.
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)
Wow.
That was legit.
Before I used to think it was very unfair
that the goalie can see,
but now I can see that actually,
the goal is small enough.
His little box that he can
come out is not that big,
and these soccer players are really good.
There's a coach that's behind the opposite goal.
He goes over and he takes
this metal pole and he hits it
along the post so that they kinda get an idea.
This is where it is.
This is where the goal is.
(speaks in foreign language)
(upbeat music)
You can't tell me these guys
are not soccer players or football players.
(crowd cheers)
(upbeat music)
(crowd cheers)
Oh my God, gives me the chills every time.
I've never seen anything like this.
(upbeat music)
I just walked up to somebody and said,
"Do you know where I can get
"a press badge so I don't have to
"stand with all the fans?"
Gave me a badge.
It's the one time that having
this camera with a mic on it
and the Joby has actually paid off.
(upbeat music)
Right there, that's game.
(crowd cheers)
(announcer speaks in foreign language)
I just saw my first ever blind football game.
I've gotta tell ya, I have chills.
So many amazing things.
I am so glad that we did not
just cut open this ball without me coming
all the way out here to Madrid to see them.
I'm not much of a football fan.
I'm not much of a soccer fan.
But this, I can watch.
The next game up is England versus Mali.
England, this will be interesting to see.
They are a big, big squad,
and they have a giant documentary crew
filming them with a huge red camera.
You gotta see this camera, it's huge.

- Go left, go left.
Darren, watch the ball.
Out only, fight, alive you two!
Alive, Darren, no drag, nothing, nothing.
(referee blows whistle)
That's okay, left foot, right.
Darren, walk forward and right.

(coaches yell out plays)
- So I've watched two games today.
Spain won the first one.
England won the second one.
I think both of them have a chance to be contenders.
Brazil and Argentina are the two toughest.
So I am leaving now, but I hope to be able to watch them.
I'm gonna keep up on the scores and see who wins.
If I can find that documentary once it publishes,
it'll probably take them six
months or so to get it out,
I will definitely link it down below
so you guys can see more.
This has been one of the most
amazing sporting experience that I've ever had.
It gives me hope,
and hopefully it gives some of you hope
'cause it's not just about being blind.
I'm gonna take these off.
Think of all the people that have had something,
maybe a bad habit in their life
or they have a disability
or they suffer from mental illness.
If you're blind and you wanna
play soccer and you wanna be
on a world championship team,
almost anything is possible in life.
You can do it.
(crowd cheers)
There's the goal.
- All right, boys.
