In which Iceland midfielder Steithor Freyr Thorsteinsson pulls of a series of five acrobatically impressive (though otherwise completely useless) flip throw-ins in a friendly against Japan last night – each of which resulted in the square root of sweet Fanny Adams…

Why oh why…It’s just ridiculous.
ifootball10, I don’t know why you are buzzing of this video, it is completely mediocre. Has been done a lot better in the past.
Looks like you guys finally gave into that idiot who kept asking you to post this video.
How is it useless with the added distance?
I counted 7 flip throw ins. 2 which resulted in a chance, albeit put wide still a chance, another that won a corner and one that caused a melee in the box.
More incorrect and sensationalist great reporting.
It’s useless because he can’t see where he throws the ball. He just hopes someone’s there…
you mean 5 EPIC throws
@Herman
Added distance means jack squat if nothing else can come of it of it. The majority of the throws didn’t even reach a teammate.
Best. Name. Ever.
with flips like that youd expect the throws to be longer
Its useless as he doesnt even throw it as far as a conventional throw.
He’s not doing it properly; too much height and not enough distance. You’re meant to fling it using the added momentum and releasing the arch in your back. Duh.
Yeah how is it useless? I’d say that was a pretty neat trick. The pundits would be drooling all over it if it happened in EPL.
Wonder how far it would go if Rory Delap could do a flip in throw!
They’re useless because they don’t have a tinge of accuracy in them. All this is very neat for Joga Bonito videos, but in a real-life professional football match i think the team would appreciate keeping the ball better than giving it away with such tricks.
@Grant: It’s a fine name, but Neville Neville (Gary and Phil’s dad) still tops the list for me!
He would never be able to do that at old trafford! Or most of the other Premier League stadiums considering the run-in he needs.
Cool but pointless waste of a throw in
