It wasn't real. I was there watching. It was shot on Santa Monica beach for a Pepsi commercial. The ball deviates a hell of a lot as it's falling. That's the computer graphics. He missed by about 10 feet in reality.
It's like that Ronaldinho crossbar thing. Do people really think if he can volley the ball not only into the crossbar from 30 yards, but do it every time, so it comes right back to him perfectly for the next volley, that he wouldn't put the ball perfectly in the top corner every single time he struck it?
