Soccer Just Got Interesting

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.
