With its celebrity managers, high-tempo matches and slick production, Baller League could bridge the gap between sport and entertainment one player says - even if some of the new rules are "nonsense".
The new six-a-side tournament, fronted by YouTuber KSI, is shaking up the game with 15-minute halves, a 3 vs 3 format in the closing minutes and no corner kicks.
It's that last rule ex-Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe, who's now up front for John Terry's 26ers side, grapples with the most, saying corners should be left "as God intended".
In these games, if the ball goes behind off the opposition three times, a penalty is awarded to the attacking team.
