Finally finished processing and rendering the Fury video of the finals (4 Gbytes of HD footage is not easy to edit). Please make sure to watch in HD quality (720p) in full screen. Our players were shown on several close-ups on live Rogers and USL TV (live in the U.S. too!), also shown in the final segments of the video.
It was a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity - to watch the top women in North-America, and to win it all at home, it just does not happen twice .
A few more gems from Sunday (sifting through hundreds of photos!).
Big stretches, after warm-up:
Gustavo edited and rendered this video on YouTube. Enjoy!
He used an Elph 100, Sony Vegas Pro, and the YouTube editor.
What a game! A fantastic/superb/wonderful soccer event for our lucky players to attend, a one in a lifetime opportunity.
The Ottawa Fury has done it. They were scored against on the 1st minute of the match, then fought all the way to the end, tieing the match on the 94th minute! Unbelievable. Extra-time followed, and then they won on the 10th (last) shot of the penalty shootout(!). Well-deserved and unforgettable!
Never give up! It's never over until the whistle sounds three times.
Our players also got to see two professional penalty shootouts on the same day, as the 1st match (for 3rd place) also ended tied 1-1. Washington won that one.
Some pics below, lots more with the coach. Also, we were a lot on TV! (That's a 9.5 Gbyte file, it will take a while to process).
Short 10 seconds clip:
What a great night for soccer: absolutely perfect.
The Fury ladies are now in the finals after defeating Washington 1-0. What a game! We sat right beside the Fury coach, so it was educational for all. The environment allows the spectators to follow the match and the players so closely.
The Fury girls are amazing, in skills, speed, team effort, and communications.
An outstanding night.
Update July 29, Big video:
