Scientist Shoot-Out (Jabulani) - Sixty Symbols

[cnano]

That fifth shot was really good actually.

[acrophobe]

the vuvuzela victory blow at the end really sold it.

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.

I love that the scientists are playing football in their lab coats, I just hope they remembered to take their pens out the top pockets first.

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

[davidnitro]

oh man, at 0:45 it was actually a pretty good shot

[creatyve]

the uniforms on these players are incredible

[meinbuch]

I guffawed so hard at them hugging each other.😂😂😂😂😂😂

[RichardSmart]

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

[sixtysymbols]

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

[AguzSuiCaedere]

And now the physics behind the vuvuzela :D

[OeNoesRAWR]

2:53 I kind of want to make this my desktop background for some weird reason. It is amazing.

[lewiswenttotown]

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

[JustOneAsbesto]

It wouldn't be a proper field test without lab coats.

[blhc]

you are aware that even professional goalies do that, right? If you wait to see where the ball is heading towards, as soon as you start moving, you'll already have lost.

[entoris]

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

[Atrix]

he said "they never miss, the germans" meaning the germans never miss. The guy who shot the ball must have been a german

[AguzSuiCaedere]

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

@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

[bajer]

I agree, but then again, not many keepers gets to play against a team of scientist ;)
