Now That's Quick Thinking! Soccer Referee Does a Cool Split to Escape the Ball

Watch this referee avoid interrupting the game in a tremendous way. As the ball approached him rapidly, the man didn’t hesitate and dropped down in a Matrix-style split to escape interfering with it.

This video of the referee's stunt at the women's youth soccer game in Ankeny, Iowa, was shared by Iowa Rush Soccer Club on their Facebook page on April 24. "This guy was a GREAT referee. He didn't miss a call all game, [was] very clear and vocal with his calls, joking with the players, and mentoring the linesmen. He even came over and introduced himself to the parents before the game. I was already thinking that this guy was the best referee I'd ever seen, and then he did this…" an internet user commented on the video.
