School for kids who can't kick good

So just when you think that every trick involving a soccer ball has been done, some kids in a developing country somewhere get a camera and decide to BLOW YOUR MIND.



I remember seeing this a couple of months back and being amazed. Was reminded it again when they used clips from it in adverts for the upcoming premiere league season. I wish I could do a backflip. I mean -- maybe I can and I've just never tried. I should try.

i think we all remember what happened last time you tried to do a flip. your collarbone has never been the same.

I'm sure you can find a frozen bag of peas somewhere in London.

Shoot, if I had read your blog sooner, I definitely would have been the first to remind you of your bone-crushing defeat. Soccer might not be your ticket to fame but I feel certain that you can beat the World Record for wearing the most t-shirts at one time. Greatness is calling.

Maurice (it's got to be you. or Conor.) -- why do you think it's fake? I agree that some of it seems too outrageous and could easily be explained away as being a viral (it's even got the fifa streets branding at the end)... but the flipping is at least real. and the ball is real in most of the tricks. did you find an article on it somewhere?

i'm curious because there are clips of people doing some of these same tricks in the new Premier League ads.
