Physics World has done several interesting articles on the physics of
football (as we call soccer in the UK!). If you go to www.physicsweb.org
and search for football, you should find them. I think they were largely
done to co-incide with previous world cups.

Dear science communication network members
South Africa is gearing up for hosting the 2010 WORLD CUP SOCCER and we
have
to use this opportunity to interest the public (especially youth) in
the
"science angle" to this sport. I would therefore be very interested to
make
contact with anyone who has worked on grants, exhibitions,
publications,
competitions, etc exploiting and explaining the links between science
and
soccer.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Marina Joubert
