Scientist: The Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South
Africa, is the site of Saturday's World Cup clash between the
US and English soccer teams. At 1500 km above sea level, the
Royal Bafokeng is far higher than the stadiums the players
usually compete in. In a feature article, Steve Haake and Simon
Choppin explore the effect of altitude not only on the players
themselves, but also on the flight of the ball.
