Soccer
is my favorite sport of all time, I know how the guy feels, I would have done the same thing. been like screw it, I'll die playin!
Story was emotional though, I felt it, something awesome there.
Though you may have spent a lot of time on the animation, still needs work, but you have the potential there for sure. Once you get good at it should remake this, itd be awesome! Good work on it, keep it up!
