Why this vid kicks ass: WATCH THIS, IT'S AMAZING. Richard Swarbrick took the highlights from a very high-profile football match and made an animation out of the footage. It's a gorgeous work of art. The emotions that are conveyed through just the hasty paint-strokes of the animated figures--I can't even describe it. You have to watch and see for yourself.

Eep - this is brilliant!

Is this Barcelona playing Madrid? Because I couldn't tell who the white players were, but I thought I might have spotted Casillas.

yup! the 5-0 Clasico at the Camp Nou last year. Barcelona basically played a perfect game, it was mind-blowing. (and Messi's assist for the fourth goal, ugh. you magical midget how are you even human.)
