The Flip Throw-in Doesn’t Always Work

By: Laurie | April 10th, 2008
   

I’m normally not a fan of videos of anything showing infliction of physical pain. But this video just gets funnier every time I watch it. (Ignore the first example. The fun starts with the second.)

This came to us via a German blog, Fanartisch, with a link to a post entitled “Kung-Fu-Einwurf.” I don’t speak German, but how can you resist a title like that?

Einwurf apparently just means throw-in, and the link has several examples of the technique being used effectively. But for some reason this one remains my favorite. The slo-mo just makes it for me.

Does this make me a sadist?

    BRILLIANT. I cannot stop laughing at the slow-mo! I have to watch this at least...10 more times. At least.

    Yeah I dont understand what the ref called. On my high school soccer team we had this one guy that would do the throw-ins like that for us. He was a gymnast so it was natural for him.
  • derek
    More importantly, why did the ref give possession to the white team? Dangerous play?

    Haha. I didn't know people still did the flip throw-in. I thought it ended in the 90's. Oh well, still hilarious.
  • HAHAHA that was hysterical.

    I love the super slo-mo when you hear the guy's face just get wrecked by the ball flying.

    And the guy yelling 'NO WAY!!!!?!?!?'
