Saw a few minutes of it, very good

Caught a glimpse of the blind football on Football Focus and had to laugh, a ball with bells in it?

Ok they can hear the ball but how do they know who to pass to and if they`re running towards the goal how do they know when to shoot before running into the post?

The whole thing is a farce, they even said China are going to win it, how many disabled chinese have you seen?

Elvis, I know this team and you should go and see them play or train sometime. Believe it or not, the footballs are very hard to get and last time we had to get them via Brazil because the well known football brands wouldn't make them for the blind, so they have to be purposely purchased and up until several years ago we used to have to manually put the ball bearings in the balls before playing and had no funds with which to purchase them. However things are different now, they train hard and enjoy themselves. Luckily they have some support now from the FA and have a great coach in Tony Larkin. I am sure they will go far.
