I think your assumption that good physics == not fake does not hold for certain classes of faking, i.e. simulating the collision first and modifying the ball positions (or creating one or both balls wholesale) to match.
I mention this not to cast any doubt on the kicking video, but because there are a lot of good simulation tools nowadays and faking something up by working out the physics first is only going to get easier.

It just makes this kind of video forensics a more interesting challenge. :) Here's another example of a physics based take-down (by Rhett Allain) of that eagle lifting a baby video that was doing the rounds. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/12/eagle-picks-up-a-kid-real-or-fake/ http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/12/eagle-picks-up-a-k...
