  • 0:24 Bloody lettuce wrist

  • Less spin equals greater ball speed though.

  • 2 out of 5 goals for the whitee coats..this is why they are scientists.!! :D

  • lean forward a bit and keep your knee over the ball when you strike it, and it will always stay low. theres my physics lesson :)

  • It's the goalie English? That'd explain a lot :P

  • hooray for soccer! nice vid

  • Wow...the goalie sucks...like reallly bad

  • @jkd5h2 physists playing football - did you expect anything else?

  • the keeper always gos right

  • the uniforms on these players are incredible

  • the vuvuzela victory blow at the end really sold it. 

  • Did you notice that the keeper is always jumping to his right:D

  • if i dived to one side over and over..eventually I would get lucky and save it

    not much of a save

  • LoL, women playing football.

  • poor keeping really

  • I like the shot that went straight at him at 2:40 and he still managed to miss it by diving out of the way.

  • @Ralkaj If only I'd known so many top class goalies were gonna comment on this perhaps I would have tried a bit harder!!! I did have an injured back you know, otherwise I would have saved the lot! :)

  • why dont u do a comparason of the premier league ball and this shootout side my side on a video?

  • This ball is a complete disgrace. I am like the third best goalkeeper in England and I can't even stop this thing. A buddy of mine kicked a slow roller to me and I completely muffed it in front of billions of people. Now people in my country will never forgive me for this. And it wasn't even my fault! IT WAS THE BALL!!! It dipped and swerved and I could only get my fingertips on it. I hate this ball. Now James will be the goalkeeper for England but I bet he can't stop this thing either.

  • Martyn Poliakoff would school you all.

  • ive seen some really good free kicks by japan and just today by diego forlan and they curved perfectly. i don't think they were luck

  • @takanoritoriyama

    Of course they weren't luck. If a player adapts his technique properly he should be able to curl the ball. The ball is designed to maintain its spin more in the air, but it also moves forward quicker so the "curl" is less noticeable. The design also makes it difficult to apply the spin in the first place. I suspect that the way to get more curl is to kick the ball less hard. As the ball moves so quickly anyway cos of reduced drag, it isn't necessary to hit it so hard anyway

  • Doesn't prove anything

  • You guys have way too much fun! :) Me = jealous!

  • So am i right in thinking the conclusion to this was "clearly somethings not right"?  Nice one scientists, keep up the good work.

  • I think the keeper makes a decent save at one point

  • @k3nni78 Indeed the save at 1:52 is quite good I thought.... Many keepers don't save a single penalty in a shoot-out! :)

  • @k3nni78 pure look, he jumped tha way every time

  • THE REDCOATS ARE COMINGGGG!!

  • Why does the goalie keep jumping the wrong direction?

  • @Xraller The goalie has to choose a direction before the shot is taken. A good shot will take under a second to hit the back of the net. If the goalie waits untill the guy shoots to choose a direction, it will most likely be too late.

  • Why do you even have a goalie?

  • like this if this video got 307 views

  • Two of the latter shots had amazing curves on them. Would've been great if some slow motion of those curved shots were shown too, so people can see what the stuff said in the actual video was all about.

  • the goalkeeper really sucks

  • Haha you're just annoyed cos it was made in Loughborough not Notts ;)

  • And now the physics behind the vuvuzela :D

  • @AguzSuiCaedere physics of the vuvuzela coming tonight!!!!

  • @sixtysymbols Wow, most awesome news ever! *hugs*

  • It helps if you take the Lab coat off LOL

  • 1:25 fail

  • Nooo! They removed the Vuvuzela button! It raised the percentage of bearable videos on youtube from 0,001% to at least 1%! ;-)

  • @superdau Some videos still use the old player for some reason. The vuvuzela button is only present on the new player.

  • I feel sorry for the goalie! :D

  • I love that they were wearing lab coats :oD

  • where's the soccer button now?

  • BBBBzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzZZZzzzzzzz.­

  • Fantastic.

  • This was actually a pretty fun penalty shoot out to watch! :P

    LOOOL... That's some weeeaaaak vuvuzela :P

  • lololololololololololololollol­ololol

  • Brady, what do you think of the loss of England :D?

  • Gotta love these videos :)

  • Vuvuzella 

  • oh Fabio.... i think we've found your new team.... :D
