[ODE] Soccer Ball Physics

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

Yes, you can simulate this. When you detect the collision between the 
kicking leg and the ball, add whatever impulse you want to the ball, if 
the default behavior is not good enough.

I don't think ODE will be better or worse than any other physics library 
in this regard -- none of them will simulate the specifics of soccer for 
you without "tuning" the given primitives.
