@copa90: In 1993 Maria and Felix, Iñaki and Nico Williams’ parents, paid people smugglers to take them from Ghana to Europe in the hope of securing a better life. Travelling across the Sahara desert, they were kicked out of their truck and had to cross the desert without food or water. Felix says he still has pain in the soles of his feet from walking across the burning sand to this day. They walked for days before arriving in Melilla, a Spanish enclave. They were arrested on arrival for not having proper papers and were going to be sent back before a lawyer intervened. He told the parents to say they are from Liberia rather than Ghana. Liberia was at war and they could claim asylum as refugees. In Spain, the couple ended up in the Basque country where they were looked after by a priest from a local church. His name was Iñaki. While Iñaki was a Spain U21 stalwart, and even played for the senior team, he went on to represent Ghana. Nico, his younger brother, just came off the bench for the country he calls home to set up the winner in the World Cup Final. 24 years old and he has both major trophies under his belt. Bless you, Maria and Felix, for making that journey. 🇪🇸 #nicowilliams #spain #worldcup

i love nico williams so much i wish he got his goal but that assist is definitely going down in history along with ferrans goal. 100% deserves to be a world cup winner

Jesse :

he played absolutely out of his mind and if he wasn't giving 110%, spain probably don't win that game

mucus :

Right wing governments around the world are trying to kill the possibility of any story like this happening again

I thought Williams played extraordinarily well. I did not know who he was before, but the entire final I couldn’t keep my eyes off him his breath of play, strategy, ability to weave in and out was just mesmerising. Well done young man. He really is a Credit to his team really proud of the Spanish team they fought a sustained prolonged offensive attack against one of the greatest football teams in the world and I’m so pleased they were so classy they showed them and the world what true football heroes look like.
