VID REC: FOOTBALL (SOCCER) RPF - "World Cup 2010"

Vidder: Vlad
Musical Artist: 65daysofstatic - Radio Protector
Pairing: gen
Vidder on LJ: n/a
Vidder's website: TheVladVideo on YouTube
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.

This video was perfect in every way! Reminded me of all the emotions I had when watching the WC!

I know, seriously. every time I watch Gyan sobbing after missing that penalty and Pique getting up still spitting blood... and Iniesta with his shirt for Dani Jarque. tears.

For me it was Iker's face when he realized they were so close and Forlani scoring! Kaka's excitement and Otzil's face when he made a goal, I was just dying! I can't wait for 2014 and see if Uruguay will win it, since they won it on Brazilian soil in 1950!
