Quote: During a match I was once warned against setting a (jumping)wall against a free kick. Now I know this is a technique as old as the hills. I disagree with the official but if you read the book he can make an arguement. Amazing stuff isn't it?
One of the funniest things I ever saw was in an English National Team friendly, where the Brits set a four man wall with linked arms against a 30 yarder. The ref moved them back, and once they were placed the Brits started jumping. As soon as the ref turned his back they (still linked)all took three large hops forward. They got away with it and blocked the kick as well. I guess they would have claimed loss of balance or some such if they had been caught.
I didn't do it, but if I had you never would have known.
