We’ve all heard of guitar hero, but what about 'Football Hero'? It's basically guitar hero while playing soccer simultaneously. That’s what a group of enthusiasts did recently when they rented out an abandoned warehouse and retooled the hardware. Instead of playing with the guitar, the players had to kick soccer balls at large color-coded pads placed on the walls, while a large projector displayed the game. Amazingly, they were able to achieve an accuracy of 76% after only the 18th try.
So, next time someone claims that soccer is a sport for cry babies, be sure to mention that they’re creative too.
