Most kids that love the game dream of one day starring alongside the world's elite. I've had that same dream countless times, you know the one where you make your debut for one of the best teams in the world in front of a packed stadium and an international TV audience, you receive a pass from a superstar and score the winning goal in stoppage time! Incredibly that dream became a reality for Danny Karbassiyoon, who one day was playing high school soccer in Virginia, and the next he was playing alongside Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp, Cesc Fabregas and the Arsenal Invincibles! This is such an inspirational story, and I hope you enjoy! If so, click subscribe and check out Kevin's other chats. Cheers!
