SA fans jump for joy as James Blake hosts free show for Mzansi

In the very short clip posted by Stephen Angbulu, some young boys pass a football to each other using only their heads.

What amazed most people was that the ball never had any contact with the ground. Theirs brings to memory the popular Shaolin Soccer movie. In about 20 seconds, and after the ball had touched about six heads, the kid close to a plastic bucket used as a goal post creatively 'netted' the ball.

After he did that, the rest erupted in wild jubilation at the master performance they all pulled off.
