11.18.08 BALL TO THE FACE OF THE DAY
The flip throw-in in soccer, where a player does a front handspring to launch the ball farther, is especially useful for adding extra velocity to the ball as it leaves the player’s hands. Which makes it that much better when the ball is fired directly into someone’s face.
Inexcusably, there’s no slo-mo replay here, so you’ll just have to relive the magic of the 0:20 mark using your technical know-how. But if anyone wants to re-cut the video so we get to see the guy’s face smashed fifteen or twenty times at various speeds, and set it to any kind of music but rap-metal, that would be really cool. Thanks.

That’s not right!
Au contraire mon freire. That was 12 kinds of right.
That was a lot of unnecessary ass touching/slapping/straddling by the ref…
Wait, there were two cameras? And we only got to see one shot of the shot?
ball to the face is netter than balls to the face.
glad to see you’re still with us 289 after last nights shit show.
That’s what happens when you play soccer in the snow.

Instead of rap-metal, it would be great if someone edited it with some Anne Murray music. So soothing.
Reason #492 why white kids need to give up on soccer.
He shouldn’t have been standing there.
the crowd was pretty cool and understanding about how that boy got hit in the face with a ball, unlike those dicks on the parole board
that kid sucks…how did he miss him the second time?
Your headline wrote checks that your content couldn’t cash.

When I first saw the headline I thought it was going to be another UFC post.
I’m with you guys, when I saw the title, I thought that this was going to be about Brock Lesnar.
