IBSA World Blind Football Championship 2010 - England v Spain Match Highlights

[twinsinparis]

@StevenGerrardMBE97 They all have difficulties with seeing and some are blind thats why they are blindfolded so nobody can see better then another

[nickybezzina7]

this is so easy for goalies ..they should feel gay :(

[MrGibsonlee]

how do they even play

[XTheLogicalX]

this makes me feel bad to watch they should be so proud

[Snipto]

You'd think the english keeper could see. Amazing saves!

[Callum556]

@Snipto He can see, the goalkeepers are not blind.

[whereszorro]

john grimmin, picked as the man to watch.....lol

[dduggyfresh]

these guys are amazing and i still am baffled by how they posses so much skill on the ball but how embarrassing is it if your the goalie and get scored on?

[mamamiya3210]

they're way better then i expected..... how the hell do they know where the goal is?

[SmartNicoo]

are the guys actually blind? because when they take off those things it looks like they can see?

[racewalkingrules]

@SmartNicoo course theyre blind!

[k0ngebaben]

"it was a nervous start" :D

[soccerdudejoe]

are they actually blind???

[CharlotteOliver123]

The England Players just didnt see the late minute goal coming

[SilverStreek7]

why arent the goalies blind?

[SouthdownNo11]

are the goalkeepers blind aswell?

[mokosaurio]

I think it would be more of a fair game for both teams to no have a goalie. It seems very difficult to score.

[skudaarkaat1]

This is silly! What's going to be next>>>blind pilots?

[rtdPrestiGe]

hilarious. I dont mean to say this as to be disrespectful, but there are just some things u cant do anymore when ur blind. This was very funny (FE: 3:09 Great attempts on goal LMAO, my coach would slap me for that)

[johnferguson1989]

spains winner is an absolute blinder!

[mes1que8un9club9]

:(

[ipagrumregnum]

england´s nine is really smart...hello from españa

[RidiculousAdamski]

most embarassing thing to let in a goal from a blind man

[TheLeilisa]

who is the tallest football?

[pulgarin10]

does the ref have to be blind too?

[DontBeSoFrAJL]

wait why are blind people taking pictures

[mutatedchicken]

can someone explain to me why the goal is so much smaller than standard football, surely since they are blind and they have a goalie that can see that it is hard to score enough already

[AJsfree2toke]

How do thet do it??



[GaynessToTheAnus]

impossible is nothing

[tomjohnpowell]

and when they retire they could get jobs being premiership referees

[ThomasEdwardsLive]

@tomjohnpowell LOL!

[matklstrength]

@tomjohnpowell

hahaha brilliant

[Konquistadoren]

@tomjohnpowell LMAO

[virtsuzan]

why arent the goalkeepers blind?

[hough777]

i think they are amazing people, but ( and i may go to hell for saying this ) this is one of the funniest things iv ever seen

[iTwiGGz]

@hough777 LOL, i totally agree with everything you've just said, lol

[scotty10111]

[Jeffrey57723]

[dswkfootball]

[cyaninternetdog]

Amazing, good on them.

[nutorious123]

lol

[GrammatonCleric24]

i'm not gonna lie, some of those guys still have some tricky feet. amazing to watch.

[hairybearz]

are the referees blind too :O?



[pricer103]

@hairybearz no fully sighted refs

[kptk92]

@hairybearz No, they were used at the 2010 World Cup and will be used for the next season

[xiyuemaa]

this england keeper did a better job than most of the englands senior number 1 lol

[julianken2008]

I actually do blind training... I dribble the ball forwards in a straight line without looking. Really hard to keep the ball from getting away from you while trying to maintain speed, so I can appreciate how sick these guys are, especially the shooting

[Styka]

@julianken2008 mate, im just wondering, but how do they get the sense of the goal ? i mean its just mind boggling, i couldnt imagine, how to pass and everything without the eye.

these people are really special..

[twigggboy]

gd stuff!

[T3rrar]

Speed meets speed. Thumbs up if you know what i mean ; )

[julianken2008]

@T3rrar dont get you! unless you're talking about drugs.. then you know where to stick it!

[pricer103]

and btw england won today against south korea 2-1

[pricer103]

rawhino, they are all blind exept goalkeepers and wear eye patches and blindfolds aswell!

[alexdehaan1]

WOW. there not amazing. but the fact that there actually blind! its insane! unlucky england!

[Rawinho]

bullshit....they can see for sure...

[boocheey]

Dude major respect to these people that played. There ball control amazes me. Its a blessing being able to see but I love the fact that these people are not succumbing to there "hindrance" and playing the greatest sport in the world!!!

[09RCWwwe]

Its Amazing how they Have Learned How to play Blinded with A Bell

[gringofreestyler]

It's pretty impressive how they learned to control the ball without seeing it. I'm pretty sure there are bells in the ball or something. I saw something about blind football at one time, and they used bells in the ball. I'm just curious if the blindfolded players are legally blind, but not completely blind. If that's the case, the blindfold levels the playing field for the completely blind, but well done to all.

[bjcsupertortoise]

The goalkeepers aren't blind... I think. Apart from that, wow.

[REDBULLHEADiphone]

What. The. Actual. FFFFFuuuuuuuu ? ! ? ! ?

This is totally blindin' play !

[joshua9tailfox]

how they no where the ball is all the time

[87sambo87]

@joshua9tailfox Ther's a bell in the ball so they can hear it.

[xWiseLeyz]

better than the england squad

[Chavman1908]

i dont think all of them r actually blind but some just wer the blindfolds cus they was lookin at people wen they took em off

[Wonderkid44]

Amazing.

[mevidek]

Great people, deserve to be as famous as professional players

[TheGooners619]

respect to all these people :)

i like how they move with the ball like ronaldinho does ;)

[TXAvenged]

are the keepers blind aswell?

[boocheey]

@TXAvenged Na the keepers are able to see but you know what it doesnt matter if they can see or not if the people get a good strike on ball its just like if it was a person that can see kicking it.

[Typhlosio7V]

Blind people can play football?!

[TTGConFlicT]

amazing !

[BenFosterification]

some of them fly with that ball nice to see them flying the flag for there countries

[turreu]

awesome, this could be actually pretty entertaining to watch. the goals should perhaps be a bit bigger imo

[AndreDgeX]

respect for all these guys!

[mikeo34]

the rattle in the ball sounds quite cool

[dig35wcmaster]

wow, they do really have a great ball control...i bet some of them have already played football before they became blind. Good game, england's keeper is great!
