Does anyone think he might be saying, refering to the ball "it walks". I was there at the match yesterday and he kept just missing shots wide and long. We might say in english "it sails" as in "the ball keeps sailing". - jmviii3, Feb 7, 2011
your comment makes sense. I would have said ´la pelota vuela´ (it flies) - mediterrunio, Feb 7, 2011
Or could it be that the player meant, "it is long or wide?" En otras palabras, the ball carried too far or wide? - cristalino, Feb 7, 2011
Corrected a formatting problem caused by using double quote marks in the first couple of lines of a post. I replaced the double-quote marks with two apostrophes. - webdunce, Feb 7, 2011

is this a lateral thinking problem?

Camina might be imperative for caminar, to walk. Also, 3rd person singular, present tense of that same verb.
