He's jumping a step-down - the dirt in the very foreground is the landing.

Unfortunately given that it was the last round of this year's World Cup, the spectators are part of the scenery. Save for the guy in the red t-shirt, I like the spectators there. I could have cloned him out, but I prefer to leave things as much as they were as possible.
