Once upon a game

Once upon a soccer game, a future Professional Photographer tried his hand at a bit of sports photography.  It was thought that all traces of the event had vanished, but a recent archaeological expedition into the ruins of Greece has provided us with a glimpse into a world long past.  Through the miracle of modern technology, these images have been retrieved from a long lost, but recently unearthed artifact.  This contact sheet was created by the ancients to capture images in chemicals.

One can only imagine who these people are and what their lives must have been like.  Can you identify any of them?

Questionable heading technique

Winning every head ball...

...with no idea where it's going.

Collision imminent.

Pass probably went out of bounds.

Big muscles and big hair, but not yet big bellies.

This pass looking more like it will go where intended.

Bending one around the wall to the far post.

Nicely placed shot!

Not sure the teammates are working together here.

At least there was one reasonable person without big hair.

Are they square dancing?

In command.

So much energy put into the shot, he left the earth.

Spectators rapt by the action, or perhaps wondering why on earth they're here.
