To him, the members of the Brotherhood club, a team in Romania's fifth division, show the very best of Romanian society. They started low, with cardboard shields and shorts tied with string. They still have little money, and sometimes even food is a luxury - they keep chickens and goats to make sure they have something to eat at the end of the game. Yet the Brotherhood remains the only club in the league run on the principles of equality and non-discrimination: race, ethnicity, disability, and age do not matter. The Congolese coach, the first and only black coach in Romanian soccer, the goalkeeper, born with only one hand, and the players, some of them gypsy, prove that it is possible to live together guided by their shared passion.
