10 little things that I love about football

6. Ultra slow-motion replays

You see a lot of ultra slow motion HD replays these days, especially in the Champions Leagues -”Action Shots”, as they are called. The first I ever saw was Ronaldinho taking a free kick, which he failed to score and hence the action shot.

Other good examples include Rooney wiping sweat of his forehead, or Messi tying his laces. These action shots also have made a foray into cricket, when they show birds fly off the field, or the ball hitting the bat. For some reason, I love these shots!
