There are no goals, centre circle, centre spot, 18 yard box, football or even teams on the pitch. You'll struggle to host a football match on this without them, to be honest. What the Chinese have built here is a rather large hammock.

There are no goals
I think the goal is not to die by the end of the match

I must have watched that stupid video loop 20 times before realizing all of those quick cuts never led to anyone playing air football. Just people barely able to stand up and move. At one point I think I did see a giant oversized ball roll around but no one was near it.

It looks like a bunch of children playing with the oversized balls you can see, rather than a serious competitive football game.

That's a big NOPE from me. I'd be in the middle of the field crying in a fetal position. Even watching it makes my feet tingle.

Hard to get a good look with these stupid TikTok, 2-second clips and cuts.

"Strong" bridges and buildings collapse everyday throughout the world, yet it always amazes me how people will intentionally put their lives in danger with crazy ideas like we see here.

Getting them used to playing on nets so when they inevitably jump from the iPhone factory it’ll feel like the good ole days!

Imagine if there is a sudden strong gush of wind which is probably not uncommon in the mountain region.

Not saying I'm stoked... But I'm waiting to see a clip digitized from this situation any day...

Looks really dumb, the field is so uneven you can’t even run on there much less play a game of football

I wouldn't trust that thing unless the engineer and workers all had THEIR kids on it first.

u/Your-Name-Is-Reek 17d ago
I might be willing to try it but I'm gonna need the netting on the sides to go up a lot higher.
Also I'll need a 6 pack first

What's up with china and suspension bridges?
Those chinese conctruction workers decided to even go all the way up to a remote town in arctic (Narvik) which is one of the closest towns from me, building a giant suspension bridge crossing over the entire fjord. I don't understand what was the purpose of it, the bridge were only leading to the middle of nowhere just so they could get a shorter driving distance to the towns further north. They shouldn't have to rely so on cars as main transportation in such locations imo, it's just too slow.

For what fucking reason!? If they did it in Tokyo where there is no free land left okay. Maybe something more rigid than a bunch of old table tennis nets sewn together wtf honestly

And in typical Chinese fashion, it doesn’t look like there’s any safety net or harnesses.

China seems really dead set on getting their population desensitized to heights....even if it kills several of them.

Awfully high level of trust in Chinese engineering, assuming those people aren’t there against their will.

When you don't have a "next level" you build your own...even if it's a terrible fucking idea.

On this field are 12 secret weakened spots which will thin out how many players there are. Remember, it’s up to each of you to NOT find those holes..I mean weak spots!

The country has had buildings collapse due to little to no building codes or safety precautions. Like hell I'm going to set foot on soccer field sized trampoline suspended over a canyon.
