Somehow I doubt they'd be able to do half of that in a real game though.

Holy ****

I've never seen anything like that in my life. It doesn't look real at first.

I don't think some of that is real, as the ball doesn't seem to move realistically in some parts of it. Still extremely impressive nonetheless

Was just thinking the same Davey. After taking another look through it, the ball just doesn't seem right at times.

Wow, never mind the fact there is a ball involved that is some seriously impressive acrobatics. I'd love to be able to do even half of that.

It's a mixture of capoera and football. I don't see why it's not feasible, but I know nothing of football, though know a lot about capoera. Which bits didn't look real? The only thing that could be a bit fake is the hand springs to and fro on the beach and the walk way, but to be honest it really looks ok to me and the physics works...

isn't it just spin on the ball? i've seen footstepss do all sorts of wobbles in the past. you might well be right, but nothing jumped out at me making me go wtf? usually it's quite easy to spot fakeness. i'm happy to accept a few of these stunts were doctored but I just can't see them.
