Dude you've been down under too long. This clip is ridiculous. There's some compulsion among soccer fans to create highlight clip after highlight clip, and the thing is, they're terrible at it. You could make the argument that Xavi is the 3rd-best player in the world right now, but you sit and watch the clip and wonder when the highlight comes. And yes I understand the impressive thing isn't the physical kick but knowing when and where to pass, but this whole clip is "I'm covered, I should pass to the guy ten feet away from me who isn't covered." And it's not just this clip. Soccer highlight clips are so over-made and over-linked that we're constantly looking at completely vanilla plays with electronic music in the background, and non-soccer fans are thinking "soccer is gay" and soccer fans are thinking "fap fap fap"
