What sorcery is this my @BBCSport colleagues… you can watch in virtual 3D on the BBC website, this is the Canadian goalies view of the Bosnia goal….

Not winning first contacts on any defensive set-pieces, inevitable for @CanadaSoccerEN . An offensive flick on at the near space zone becomes a lottery to defend.

Bosnian Jovo Lukić scores his first international goal and what a time to do it in the FIFA World Cup 🇧🇦

[Ryan Needs @RyanNeeds9]

Great start by @CanadaSoccerEN , attacking straight from kick off, leading to a long throw and then a corner kick all in the first minute.

Was keen to see how the new 5 second rule would affect Long Throw-ins and how teams speed up its preparation.

Dead Ball: Throw-In 😵

✔ Create space through synchronised and dynamic movement.

✔ 9. Raul connects with thrower.

✔ 2 options to lay off 1) 26.Gutierrez or 2) 25.Alvarado

✔ Untracked thrower provides an overlap to cross.

Plus, with the new 3D viewer, you can show exactly where to stand, where to aim, and the kind of curve players need to put on the ball.

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

There have been 1,179 long throws into the opposition box in Premier League games this season. Those have brought about just 24 goals - or one goal every 49 long throws.

Matches are also being delayed for an average of 10 minutes, 42 seconds just for throw-ins to be taken.
