themanupstairs Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The ball was knuckling quite a bit as well. Mignolet dove late because it appeared as though the ball was coming straight for him, but by then it was too late. Exactly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 There's no stopping him at the moment. When he breaks forward he can try his precise long range shots and if you try to close him down he has the ability to thread a precise through pass to one of his teammates.

merlin Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 His goal is not being talked about much like, was an incredible strike. Yeah - very strange. Was a cracker. It was very well hit but the keeper has to do much better. Totally disagree with this - in general, a strike from 30 yards does pose questions about a keeper's competence but if you saw the shot from behind Cabaye, as on the TV replay, you can see that the bend of the ball and the placement of it gave Mignolet NO chance of stopping it - he dived in good time, but it was just too far to his right for him to reach. One of the best long-range goals I've seen, in the class of Arie Haan of Holland who hit 2 amazing strikes in the 78 WC in Argentina. He misjudged it because of the bounce. No chance of stopping it, ffs. Whether you like it or not, he had NO chance of stopping it - Cabaye has hit too many long range strikes for them to be classed as keeper errors or flukes.

Ronaldo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Nope, it was clearly Mapou's fault for Cabaye's goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 What I find strange is when experienced pundits who you would assume have a basic grasp of the laws of nature say 'It picked up speed off the surface'. Sorry, it didn't as that would be impossible as grass is inert and therefore unlikely to exert extra force on the ball. Perhaps I'm a pedant, but only if you spell it correctly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A spin bowler with rpm of 1500 can get a small change of pace, there is no way a football is anywhere near 1/100 th of that. In short no, I doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Isn't that basically what a daisy cutter is? A shot with spin that either picks up speed, or at least doesn't lose speed in a predictable way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what happens, the turf may be wet which reducess the friction on the ball and it moves quicker than if the turf was dry but it does not increase speed. Jesus, I am boring myself!!

Tiresias Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah what happens is your brain accounts for expected deceleration so when ball doesn't slow down as expected it appears to almost speed up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 So it does actually speed up in terms of our perception. I'm going to just take your word for it, you, someone off the internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Jesus, as if people actually thought it sped up I've had the same argument with mates over the speed a cricket bowler actually bowls. It's never going to be 90mph by the time the ball actually reaches the bowler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I always thought footballs move in the air because of striking of it near the valve. The shots that move in the air are because the player has lucked out at the point of striking it right on the valve ?. It's how Ronaldo lines up his free kick with the valve facing him, i think i read. Or am i making that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Same thing with athletics. Most sprinter peak around 60m-70m and slow down. Although it looks like Bolt is running faster and faster as the pack disappears, he's actually just slowing down much slower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
