The man in the video was identified as Tancredi Palmeri, an Italian journalist covering the Italy-Spain match being played in Euro 2016. The amount of pure emotion from Palmeri can only be described as fanatical and overjoyed.
The moment was captured as Italy scored their second goal of the match. This goal would be the icing on the cake for Italian fans as they would down the Spanish two to nil.
The tweet that accompanies the video, written in French, can be loosely translated as “The journalist @tancredipalmeri on the second Italian goal … Crazy.”
However, you don’t need to know the language to understand the joy and happiness coursing through Palmeri his veins in the moment.
This kind of passion is what makes sports great. For in this moment, there is no hate, no pain, no suffering in the world. There is only pure ecstasy and a form of happiness that can only be described as childlike. THIS is what it’s all about.
