    This may be ignorant, but I'm curious. I cannot picture blind people playing football. How do they know where the ball is and where the goals are? And how do they manage not to bump into each other?

    I think the ball has a little bell inside.

    " And how do they manage not to bump into each other?"

    They do.

    I heard on Libero that there is a player that is behind the goals that "guides" them. He tells them where the ball is going, where players are, etc.. I also heard what Syd said about the bell..

    Note: The goalkeepers are the only players on the field who are not blind..

    "Murcielagos" isn't a bad joke, is the nickname they call themselves with.

    this proves that when an argentine faces the brazilian colors and sees them he can no longer perform on the field, maybe we should make our NT players wear those things they put for horses so they can't see right and don't get scared.

    If the coach has to be blind as well I think Pekerman would be an excellent choice.
