I was gonna say, because when he said it does give you an advantage, I was thinking, well wouldn't that be okay in the sense that both teams can do it. But if that's not the case, I guess it makes sense.

For heading, I feel it depends on the ball. Some outer materials feel harder than others and when properly inflated can feel great for kicking but terrible for heading.
It's not about it being hard though. It's about elasticity and the whiplash your brain inside your head suffers. Imagine how much shaking goes on inside there for maybe 3 decades non-stop in a footballer's career.

8:04 I’ve always wondered what boot Harry Kane wore, now I know! 8:54 I remember sock boots, when they first came out everyone only wanted to wear sock boots 😂
The subsitutes can refuse to be subbed reminds me of the league cup final when arizbalaga refused to come off. Sarri was absolutely furious and almost walked off the stadium. That was rather amusing episode.
I don’t think you can ever ban heading in football as it’s such a big and important part of the game. I completely understand banning it for children though. Also, I play CM and I’m quite tall and win a lot of headers from goal kicks and do have headaches now and then later in the day so I do think something will be done about it. Maybe more padding on the balls, lighter balls or absorbable headbands for players, I don’t know.
sick video. seemed really well researched and edited. think you could have ended it a bit smoother though as it cut quite abruptly. also, i think the music transitions were a bit hard as well but overall really enjoyed the video!
As a goalkeeper, I think heading is crucial especially when sometimes you have to rush outside of your box - where you can’t use your hands - and your only option is to header the ball out.
It is called Repetitive Head Impacts (RHI) - lots of research on it potentially leading to neurodegenerative diseases such as CTE. Basically, repeated low magnitude head impacts can be just as bad as high magnitude events that cause immediate concussion symptoms. Very much linked with collision/contact sports (Hockey, American Football, Rugby) and more focus now on Football in light of recent evidence/research coming out and our knowledge of how often players head the ball
While heading maybe unhealthy, I feel that it’s far from the most frequent and dangerous injury in football. I’d much rather see stricter general rules enforced to promote fair-play and have big emphasis on players health and safety (unlike many modern day incidents). Also, maybe we can make the football itself lighter or softer on impact?
For the heading rule I've gotta say something. I developed a chronich illness called post traumathic headache, not very bad, but sometimes I fell like shit. The point is my doctor specifically told me to try and not head a ball when possible, basically telling me to try and avoid football. I understand the rule, and, while being controversial, I think it will be better for the people
The header rule is ridiculous. Improve the ball (new matrials, less air pressure etc), limit practice sessions, improve head techniques etc. It seems something that can be solved without removing such a vital part of the game.
For a centre back i couldn't imagine a game without heading, also all the attacking players have to do a bicycle kick, a scorpion kick or just nothing when a ball comes pretty high so i really hope heading isn't getting banned
I was a wing back, and ultimately the awareness of what I was doing to by brain by constant headers is what led me to leave the game. I'd be in favor of a rule that limits headers to the box. That wouldn't change the game too much, and also limit the exposure of players to heading the balls that have been booted full force from halfway across the pitch.
Its always been insane that football (soccer) players well go down like they have been shot at the slightest bit of contact, but willing to take bullet shots to the head and move on like nothings happened
I have to play in the heading rule because I’m 9 yet I play for under 11s Etwall fc you can join if you want need players and it’s so annoying that you can’t header
I have only headed the ball twice or trice while playing, I once was in a football training camp, and one time there was a heading session. I tried to hide away or skip turns because I was very afraid of the ball hitting my head. Until this point I only head the ball if there's no other option.
With heading, it's not just the ball to head contact that is concerning, at least not for younger kids. The other concern is when the player comes down, doesn't land on their feet, and their head goes down. The ground and other players' feet can contact the player's head causing damage.
I honestly thought that adding Vaseline to your gloves would have the complete opposite effect of making them grippy. Don't people use Vaseline as, um......you know......a lubricant? Wouldn't it make your gloves more slippery? Seemed to suggest that was the case in this test, with the ball wanting to jump out of his hands. I mean come on, Ice Cube even brought out a song called 'No Vaseline' that was all about "gettin' f*cked with no Vaseline" lol Now if you tried adding Swarfega heavy duty hand cleaner? Maybe. That stuff has got like, full on grit in it!
Could even use like some sort of resin, that shit is sticky asf and waterproof same with some tree saps it would destroy your gloves and make the ball sticky too but it would basically grab onto the ball haha.
Yeah, but the problem is the material that most gloves are made out of are designed to be tacky when wet. So vaseline would theoretically make them extra tacky.
I personally think that the last rule is good because if you head the ball and get a concussion, you cant really play on, but thats just my take, keep up the good work!
Without headers , corner kick goals will be less exciting , id say don’t do headers in practices / off pitch & only in game on corner kicks / free kicks
It’s so funny because no one sits you down and explains the rules of the game when you’re a kid. You just play. I had no idea about foul throws until I did one
The Vaseline essentially hidrates the latex on the gloves keeping them sticky and also makes them hydrophobic so water or mud doesn’t stick to the gloves and ensures the glove always has the latex active
I always had a little chuckle when people thought Puma were crazy. I can’t remember the name of the player but when Luton were in League 2 we had a player that would wear two different boots. Same brand but different
With the goalkeepers not being able to destract the taker, they're allowed to dance aslong as they're behind the line as they're not actually on the pitch. Hope this helps
The rules on kits in the Premier league is different to many. You can't have anything on the kit that looks like something. You can have multiple things that just look like a pattern, but you can't blatantly have something e.g a lion, city skyline, a tree, ect.
I said it 35 years ago that heading a ball is dangerous and should not be allowed,nobody listened at all.i was in my teens but boy that ball hurts. I can only imagine the force a player meets the ball direct from e.g a goal kick,meeting it head on and heading it back the way it came,can you imagine the impact.ok it's part of the game and players get on with it but it's not natural.there has to be consequences in later years
If there is no glove size regulation, is there a glove material regulation? If not, couldn’t you just just put a huge block of whatever on the goal line that covers the whole goal and attach it to the gloves?
During rule 1, you are also violating another equipment rule. Goalkeepers are allowed tracksuit bottoms, but other players have to wear shorts. You can wear undershorts, but, like undershirts, they have to be the same colour as your short legs. Also, reading the rule, the only reasons why hanging off the crossbar to save a penalty is not allowed are because the keeper must keep at least one foot on the line until the ball is kicked (to avoid keepers moving forward to reduce the kicker's options) and because, as you said, you can't hit or touch the posts before the ball is kicked to distract the taker. With that said, if you manage to hang on to the crossbar after the ball is kicked and still manage to save it, it's fair game.
the wierdest law in football is if its a penalty shootout after a draw and you're team has less players on the ptich because of a red card the other team has to reduce their palyer's to the numbers of player on you're team so bassicly remove one player
Two rules in, only tells half the story, making the rule sound entirely nonsensical because it leaves out the part that's actually unfair. Good job on the vid, m8
It works fine, in that it does make the gloves more tacky. In all honesty I think the best thing anyone could do is turn up with clean gloves, the biggest difference in grip comes from a clean set of gloves to a dirty set. There is no substitute for technique tho’. The gloves to boy tested the Vaseline on were both dirty and knackered so not sure how any conclusions could be drawn & that’s before you add in his lack of ability.
Those old footballs were like heading soggy cannonballs so you can see why past days footballers could get head traumas. But modern footballs are coated so don't get waterlogged and too heavy. I think head traumas will gradually disappear.
The goalkeeper was NEVER at any point allowed to shake the crossbar during a penalty kick. They COULD shake the woodwork BEFORE the penalty kick, but the goalposts and crossbar must be still at the point the penalty is taken. This is not a new rule.
I think banning heading would have it's pros and cons personally I don't think it would do much with health bc for me I never intentionally do headers but that won't stop ppl from getting hit in the head with the ball but it would be almost impossible to defend free kicks And corners without being allowed to head
Great video. As someone whose knees ballooned at 30 but now I’ve retrained at 50 and playing again proper running and avoiding heading is key.

A player i used to play with as a kid died due to a brain related illness, that was thought to have come from heading the ball constantly.

Without heading,it would be difficult for defenders to clear the ball and will help attackers with more tactical plays
@RandomThings-dx2gccorners are not always for headers mate
@RandomThings-dx2gcoverhead shots left the chat
Well I think and many other people as well that it would be a good idea to only allow headers inside the box
@@ThingsIDo1that might be a good compromise. Because not just heat, but contested headers in the middle of the pitch result in other injuries often.
people will start trying to use their shoulders and chest to score.

Surly it’s only meant to stop plays trying to change the dimensions of the goal by lowering the crossbar
For heading, I feel it depends on the ball. Some outer materials feel harder than others and when properly inflated can feel great for kicking but terrible for heading.

Problem with banning heading is that it will make corners less significant because the goalkeeper will be able to dominate the area close to him
On the other hand only 3-4% of corners result a goal anyway. They would just take them short if heading was banned.
