I Love LA: Girl Kicks Ball thru Randy's Donut

I don't often share viral videos on this blog, but: Two girls (a midfielder & a winger) from Santa Monica High School Women's Soccer Team show their love for LA monument Randy's Donut. (Note the last line: "Let's see Mia Hamm do that!")

  5. It looks fake, the girls strike the ball to easy for it to fly that far...

    I'm sure anyone that has hit a ball before has noticed that.

  6. wow. it's not fake. it's been well established & confirmed by randy's that it's for real.

    and, it isn't that far - it's basically across a street. a decent goalie, for example, regularly places the ball that far down the field with that precision. and, hello - played with women at that left lately? seen a real player hit a dead ball? it's not a brick! sure you hit is with force, but if you use your body right, it SHOULD look easy!

    i suggest you turn on the olympics and watch some of the better teams play - or watch the marta videos on you tube. educate yourself!
