Does anyone understand the physics of why a ball swings like that?

Time for some AAR real talk. It was a speculative nothing shot that was completely ****ed up by De Gea guessing before he knew where it was going. It wasn't even close to the corner, probably only about 2 yards away from the centre. With De Gea being a World class goalkeeper what we're seeing here is the equivalent of 'celebratory face' where a dog **** comedian of the John Bishop or James Corden variety in a room packed with hopeless plebs will get fits of laughter to every joke down entirely to their celebratory status.

It's the exact same thing we're seeing now with football illiterates blinded by De Gea's greatness. Make no mistake about it, it was dog **** goal keeping. If that Was Bruce Grobbelaar he'd have been lynched by the fans.

But Grobbelaar never faced a ball that moved in such a bizarre manner, aar.

Plebs are going on as if it was that free kick from Roberto Carlos in that friendly rather than a keeper ****ing up his feet.

But his bodyweight was committed to the left, aar. How could he shift his weight all the way to the right that quickly?

No. We know it was crap keeping. If he'd just set himself, he could have waited as it wasn't far from where he started.

I was just trying to work out why a ball swerves like that, and IUFG posted a BBC article explaining that this is causes by the seams on this new balls designed to be hit with spin.

If you just hoof it straight, the seamscan make it move one way one second and another way the next.
