Young Cyborg to Kick off the World Cup. Wait , What?

As ridiculous as that title sounds , it's true , a young teen might kick off at the world cup this year if all goes to plan.

Being a soccer fan in general I am already stoked about the World Cup. Three games a day for a month is literally a dream come true. But having a paralyzed teen literally kick off the world cup in a pant exoskeleton literally makes me giddy. This pant suit is accompanied with a pretty sweet helmet that helps the brain and the pants get up talk to each other.

I think it even looks a bit futuristic with a backpack , that seems to be the size of a small child , on  the back. Sorta looks like a jetpack.

Either way this is huge because it could help eradicate nearly all wheelchairs. Basically the inability to walk will not be an issue anymore.
