Saturday, I'll pay up.

You can't. Not this time.

Or…

Is our football whiz stone broke?

You shit!

Don't look down on me.

I have a lot of money in the bank.

Money in the bank, are you sure?

Mui.

I'll buy the whole lot of lottery tickets.

All of it?

That will be 27,300 baht.

The Thai national football squad.

But…

Coach Pongnarin,

my nephew,

must be the team's coach.

LET'S VOTE DO YOU WANT PONGNARIN TO COACH OR NOT?

OF COURSE, DON'T BOTHER, STAY IN ENGLAND

How likely is it that Pongnarin will take the reins of the national squad?

From our initial discussions,

Mr. Pongnarin has proposed an appealing strategy.

But I have to admit that the budget is quite enormous.

Hey, Teep.

What is all this?

Don't you know?

You're our national hope.

PONGNARIN IS HERE

READY TO TAKE THAILAND TO THE WORLD CUP

Beckham, steal the ball, and win five baht.

You're on.

Quit playing around.

We'll be in trouble if we're late.

Tuk, how many fish do you need today?

They're good for some larb.

Sanglek has a way with kids.

With skills like that,

I would want him to be the father of my child.

How many fish would you like?

Sorry.

I forgot that we're going to be vegetarians tonight.

PONGNARIN ULICE

Pong.

Pong.

Hey, stop reminiscing over there.

Pong.

Please sign your autograph.

Come here.

That's too many. My hand will cramp.

Please.

I need them for my customers.

Please help me make a living, okay?

Sure.

Sign right here.

Right.

Here's your coffee, coach.

- Let me see. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is that your new cook?

That's Ting from Arvee.

Sanglek's mother.

He plays in the Thai League.

I told you about him.

But now he's made the Arvee national squad.

Madam Ming!

Big news!

Arvee entered the qualifying round.

- Hello, coach. - Hi.

You're up early today, Pong.

How did that happen?

Weren't they eliminated already?

This is how it went.

One of the teams withdrew,

which opened a qualifying spot,

and Arvee was chosen as the replacement.

How come? Let me see.

- Where? I can't see your breaking news. - Right here.

"Lucky losers, Arvee,

enter the qualifying round for the first time in history."

I see.

What does "lucky loser" mean?

How about that?

Are we ready to win?

Which team are we going to play?

For our group, we have India,

Uzbekistan,

and North Korea.

That's why…

we have to be prepared!

I've proposed to take the whole team to Thailand

to have training in Pattaya.

Pattaya!

What about Pongnarin?

I'm not so sure.

Sir.

There isn't anyone more qualified than Coach Pong.

Also, the fans want him to be the coach.

That was proven in every poll that we did.

I don't care about the polls.

My main concern is getting Thailand into the World Cup.

Then…

What about the 184-million baht offer?

- What offer? - Wait.

Sir.

Haven't you been watching the news?

Above all…

I must thank everyone,
