One of the most epic pictures I ever seen. But I can kinda make out which club is he playing for (from the colors of his clothes). I don’t know about that, but I think you should have blackened the guy a bit more so the viewer can’t recognize the team colors. I thought this would add to the whole global feel to it as the "world’s favorite sport". Just an opinion
Nevertheless, an amazing photo gratz
