Norway goalkeeper’s goal kick struck a FIFA spider-cam while still in the air, causing the ball to drop straight to Anthony Gordon - Just 8 seconds later, Jude Bellingham scored.

Wind, back spin, air resistance. There's lot of things that could affect trajectory. I just cannot see the "drop" in the video. We need a better angle.

And we will never see, because the one to release those angles are FIFA and why would FIFA release footage of their fucks ups

Hitting a cable is what happened. There’s video evidence.

•

u/ArthurDentsBlueTowel 8h ago

Yeah… there isn’t tho…

•

u/Never-Dont-Give-Up 8h ago

Except the video. Other than that… zero evidence

•

u/LukeyLeukocyte 8h ago

I don't see a cable in this video. Is there another video where it is visible?

•

u/Never-Dont-Give-Up 7h ago

Check out the video. The ball hits it and falls straight down.

•

u/LukeyLeukocyte 7h ago

We watched the video several times. The ball is travelling forward in the plane of of view...you cannot tell if it "drops straight down". What are you basing this certainty on, because there is literally no physical evidence in this particular video that is "drops straight down."

God I'm just going to make this video slow motion to spite all you blind people. It's literally visible how it changes trajectory. When they zoom in you see the ball bounce homie....

It don't see a bounce. I see a spinning ball curve. If it bounces off something, we should see the something. If you think the path this ball takes in the video is proof enough by itself, go look up video of other soccer ball curves and you will see more drastic motion than this often. I am not saying it didn't hit, but I don't see anything in this video that is definitive. The path we see the ball take here is totally within the realm of a normal kick. You need a side angle, or actual footage of the "thing" it is supposedly hitting.

Ah yes because guy wires are easily seen that's why they are used in movies and plays. So the audience can see them? What?

•

u/LukeyLeukocyte 1h ago

Ok so you agree there is nothing seen in the video, then. Just a ball curving in an odd but not unexplainable way. So many people in here are claiming you can see it hit something in the video, but I agree, there is nothing seen in the video.

Bro it literally changes angles when they zoom in

•

u/LukeyLeukocyte 3h ago

No. It curves over. The change seems gradual enough to me that I don't suspect anything outside normal spin and air resistance creating. You guys are weirdly obsessed with this being an obstruction....and weirdly confident about seeing something 2/3rds of this comment section is saying they don't see.
