Abstract
The motion of a spinning soccer ball brings forth the possible existence of a whole class of finite dynamical systems where there may be a nondenumerably infinite number of fixed points. They defy the very traditional meaning of the fixed point that a point on the fixed point in the phase space should remain there forever, for, a fixed point can evolve as well! Under such considerations one can argue that a free-kicked soccer ball should be nonchaotic.
