soccer girl league
There's apparently soccer leagues that they've set up with young Indian girls.
soccer thinking television
But I think it's also hard to get into soccer here. I think purely on a time level on television as well because of the ad breaks. It's something to do with that as well. You can't show a complete soccer match here. Which I kind of find a bit of an odd thing.
moving trying culture
I'm a British intern going in. I'm hoping that John will just kind of tackle it from who this person is and what she's about rather than trying to go in on her culture. We need to move a step forward than that.
running football games
But we had a fantastic coach, Simon Clifford, who runs a British football youth game which teaches Brazilian techniques - which is what we wanted to incorporate into the film. And some of those things we eventually got in.
america madrid switzerland
I got to go to Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, Madrid, America.
laughing people language
I was worried people would laugh at me when I started to talk the language, but they were just pleasantly surprised that I could. The sense of humour here is great - once I could have a giggle, I settled down.
british
I'm actually going in to ER as the new British intern.
girl football believe
In London there was an article about all these girls bending it like Beckham, and in India there's this big wave of girls playing football. Wow! I can't believe a movie's done this!
nice might different
It's been really nice to see different counties that I might never have visited before.
soccer girl hockey
In terms of soccer, it wasn't really a thing that girls did. In England it more kind of Net Ball and Hockey and stuff like that in athletics. It's to each their own, really.
dream moving inspire
If I can inspire someone to go in a positive way and pursue a dream, it can only be good.
