Some say that the still photograph is the highest form of art. That a moment captured can tell more than any poem or book or song. To capture the perfect frame of the perfect subject at the perfect moment is…hilarious.
Ok, ok, we know that soccer is the beautiful game, but there is just no way that 22 people going all out on a field for 90 minutes, while being photographed by a hundred photographers, will not turn up some ridiculous images. Balls hit faces, faces hit faces, people yell and scream and celebrate, and some lucky schmuck talented artist invariably happens to be in the right place at the right time to capture it all.
Their work is our reward. Feast your eyes on these brilliant images:
