Local boy's full circle moment at World Cup match in Philadelphia

A local boy will escort the players from Curacao out onto the pitch in South Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon.

It will be a full circle moment in his own family's story, and a tribute to his own fight to stay in the game and play it with joy.

Rocky Stroll is eight years old. He loves soccer -- playing either in his Wyndmoor yard or as a Quaker with the sports nonprofit Starfinder.

The nonprofit hit him with a big surprise in March: escorting the Curacao players onto the pitch in a match vs. Ivory Coast. #feelgood #fifa #worldcup https://6abc.com/post/wyndmoor-boys-full-circle-moment-world-cup-match-philadelphia/19381713/
