Special Treatment for Bayer Leverkusen?!🥇🤯

Only two games to go… If Bayer Leverkusen sucessfully finishes out the season undefeated, should the Bundesliga reward them with a special golden Meisterschale trophy? My opinion = yes. However, not everyone agrees. What do you think? 🤔 #football #soccer #germany #bundesliga #champion #sports #news #futbol #europe #euro #skills #championsleague #gold #fifa #shorts #footballshorts

When a Physicist Designs a Football Boot👨‍🔬⚽️

This is what you happens when you ask a physicist to design a football boot. It’s absolutely genius — Inside the insole is 30 grams of tungsten powder. Adidas claimed this added 5% more power and 8% more swerve on the ball when striking. Sounds far fetched, I know, but this bizarre piece of tech is actually backed by science. Functionally, it works the exact same as a dead blow hammer. This tool is beloved by auto repairmen and carpenters alike because it doesn’t damage the object it’s striking, even when hit with great force. This is because, it’s filled with little bits of metal. When swinging the hammer, these pellet's slide to the back, then, as it makes contact, the pellet’s slam forward, preventing the hammer from bouncing back. This, in turn, results in a higher impact force, as it’s all concentrated in a single hit, rather than several bounces… Turns out, the biomechanics of striking a football are very similar. Foot goes back, so does the tungsten. As a player completes the striking motion, this powder shoots to the front of the boot, providing us with a rare example of sports technology that actually delivered on it’s promises… I guess #football #footballshorts #sports #cool #futbol #soccer #shorts #skills #physics #science #viral
