They might be conducting important experiments while orbiting earth at 27,756 kilometres per hour, but that hasn’t stopped the crew of the ISS from showing off their footie skills in space.

In anticipation of the World Cup, US astronauts Reid Wiseman, Steve Swanson and German astronaut Alexander Gerst show off their football skills in microgravity. The guys attempt some bicycle kicks along with a few soaring diving saves and they made sure to wish everyone playing in the tournament the best of luck. It certainly looks like great craic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjRfSqXwuQ4
