Sure, I agree, the people and backgrounds were real.
The ball? Not so much.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

hahaha i love how they can kick a soccer ball 5,000,000 MPH but once the other team gets the ball it took them like 4 minutes to run down the field

The insane stuff definitely not. But the kids heading the ball back n forth looks real, and I have seen the 2 balls trick right after that in first person (8-11 seconds). All the other crap looked fake.

How do you determine which part is real and which part ain't?

About .1% is real after having re-watched it in its entirety, but I've seen a bit of it in person (like the snippet I mentioned in my previous post.)
I got the lucky chance to play on an all English team when I lived over there, so I got to see some pretty wicked footskills at work.2007 Club Polk Football Pool Champ

Those guys in the first video seemed Brazilian. Or from some country in South America. There is a martial art there, I think it's called Capoeira? Might have speeled that wrong. But it's pretty extreme in the movements. I've seen it used at mixed martial arts fights in the old PRIDE series before the UFC bought it out. It's brutally powerful and the people who practice it to some level of expertise look like acrobats without the trapeze. Alot of the stuff they were doing with those soccer balls looked like that. Maybe it was real, maybe it was fake, I dunno but I have seen human beings actually move like that.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

I agree it's neat as a film, as long as no one's under the delusion that it's in any way real. It's neat like watching the fight scenes in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is neat. Sure, they fly around, but it's fun to watch.regular soccer isn't interesting?
Correct. Several hours of nothing at all happening is classified as "not interesting" by most people.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

Fair enough. The only thing that gives baseball the edge over soccer is it's broken up into bite sized chunks of boring, and even with it broken up things happen more often - there's hits and base-stealing and strike outs. They're BORING things, don't get me wrong (I'm not a huge baseball fan), but there are things that happen. As opposed to soccer, where nothing ever happens. There are almost no goals, and aside from goals, there are no other things that happen. The ball is just kicked around, and occasionally someone gets head-butted in the chest.
It's like if you have to read a boring book, but at least it's broken up into dozens of chapters so you feel like it's moving along. The same book without chapters is torture.

Crouching Ball and Hidden Ballsack?I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie. -

How is it not real? There is nothing in that video edited. Does it make for good game skills in an actual soccer game? No, it doesn't. But all those flips, spins, kicks and so on and so forth are very real. The second video is a clip from Shaolin Soccer and that was alot of CGI and such. But the first video is real people doing real things with a soccer ball.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Wait a second .... are you saying that the Shaolin Soccer clip, where the keeper's gloves burn off, isn't real ?!?!

HOW is it not real? Uh... cuz it's not? I have no doubt people CAN do SOME amazing things, and maybe a few of the shots in that video are real, but no way in hell are two kids standing on rooftops doing flip kicks back and forth. Sorry, I'm not gonna believe that one unless I see it, and even then I'd be skeptical.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
I could do that.

Well John, here's how I know it's not real: I've never seen ANYONE do ANYTHING close to that in real life.
Here's an easier test: Go to you tube and watch highlights of Ronaldihno. He is probably the worlds best player with a ball at his feet, or at minimum, the flashiest and most creative. Watch what he can do, then compare it to the video.
Good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0NlcUW7snM

I fall asleep watching baseball. I get too bored of watching soccer to allow enough time to fall asleep to it.

Same with Soccer, most don't realize that the stratagies in soccer are on par with College or Pro Football, however most people just see a bunch of guys running around. To me, football is so popular because it stops, then people can recognize what's going on, then it starts again. Soccer doesn't do this hence, it just looks like a confusing mess to the untrained.There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction.
