Why this vid kicks ass: Football fandom doesn't really have "vidders" the way media fandoms do; pretty much everything is on youtube and almost all of it is goal compilations, game highlights set to techno music, and the occasional terrible slideshow of shippy pictures. The vidders who have real skill are usually interested in the showing the game, not the characters. This is one rare example that tries to show the game through the characters. Even if you have no interest in watching football, watch this vid. It's not about the sport; it's about the emotions of the people who play it. It's also one of the most beautiful vids I've ever seen.
