There’s a physical reason Panenkas never go over the crossbar This one does. #football #Soccer #sports #panenka #sportsanalysis

This might be the first ever mathematically perfect pomega. It was scored by an 18-year-old in Brazil. And once you see the physics, you'll understand why it may never happen again. A pomega on its own is already rigger, but if you watch enough of them, you'll notice something strange. The ball never actually goes above the crossbar. The moment I saw this, I knew it was different. The ball reaches 10 feet high. The entire thing is over the bar, and it lands right at the back of the net. From 12 yards out, that's nearly impossible. A pomega works by striking under the ball, lifting it upward instead of driving it forward. The problem is, those are normally linked. The higher you kick it, the further it goes. Zedons is about as high as you can normally get. When the ball hits the bar, it's still rising. Any more height, and it either hits the bar and misses or goes over the goal entirely. To get it fully over the bar and still score, speed, angle, and the balance between lift and distance, you have to line up in a way we've never seen before. The only way it was possible is to kick so beneath the ball he ended up getting injured.
