"The Most Shocking Result in History"
5,543I absolutely love soccer. I love football too. Both the soccer version and the American version, and what I love most about all of it is the idea that on any given day, any team can win. Sometimes, the odds are long, but it is possible for one group of XI to beat the other, no matter the difference in money, quality, or opportunity. The CONCACAF Champions League has given us one of the most spectacular instances of an upset I have ever seen.
It was so utterly ridiculous that I read and watched everything I could get my hands on not for making the video, but because I couldn’t get enough of the team. I couldn’t get enough of the crazy story from Haiti. How Violette AC came from Haiti without a league to beat Austin FC. Just typing it, right now, seems like I’m writing some sort of fan fiction. The journey these guys went on is crazy, enjoy the video.
Much Love,
The Zealand
