Around the world, Icelandic goalkeeper Hannes Thor Halldorsson is best known for stopping a Lionel Messi penalty at the 2018 World Cup. At home, he's also known for his filmmaking talents.
Which is why the Icelandic federation turned to Halldorsson to direct the reveal video for the national team's new crest. Not only is the crest very cool, but the short film is so intense and so loaded with Norse iconography and themes -- Bull. Eagle. Dragon. Giant. -- that we dare you to watch it and not feel confident against Messi from the penalty spot. We double dare you to watch the Icelandic version and not want to take on the whole world!
A soccer player that loves to make films is like a god for us. Hail Halldorsson!
