Good goal. Keepers have a hard job. It was not as easy as it looked for the keeper. That ball made some movements.
Kingman

:o :o :o :o :o :o wicked goal
-
I have said before and will continue to say, right now, Juninho Pernambucano is the best right now at free kicks on goal.

Kingman
Yeah the ball was moving side to side as opposed to up/down. In baseball that's called a knuckle ball. If you noticed there was absolutely no spin on the ball...same concept, same laws of physics apply. ;)

Keeper shoulda save that man
He had enuff time. It wasn't movin like crazy or travellin fast enuff to justify him not saving it

-
allyuh see when dey show the close up view of the ball travelling towards goal... d ball had no rotation! look carefully, there was no back spin or side spin on the ball, it was a dry straight punch ... amazing, i can't remember ever seeing a kick that didn't put some spin bias on a ball... it's hard to comprehend how this is possible really... but he did it!

dat was a rocket. nuff said.

I think Roberto Carlos' infamous free kick against France was at least as far out. WATCH IT HERE (http://www.futebolthebrazilianwayoflife.com/images/video/rcarlos.wmv)
That same site have some wicked one's boy...WATCH DEM HERE (http://www.futebolthebrazilianwayoflife.com/video.shtml)

R Carlos' goal for sure was better
Juninho's goal was savable, R Carlos' wasn't
-

It was saveable, but not how you make it out to be. The keep was in the right position initially based on the ball's first trajectory. However, the ball turned left just outside the penalty box, so it put him out of position. With the pace the ball was coming at, it was like saving a bullet from the top of the box. He might be for not staying in line with the ball earlier, as it's never safe to assume where the ball is going.
Same way, for the R. Carlos goal, you could blame Barthez for not moving to his left to cover the post, even if he thought it was going out.

Well if is one thing Brasil have 4 top class free-kick takers for the World Cup, Juninho, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos and don't forget Alex. Alex is like the right footed version of Carlos.
Nuff said, Brasil dread!!

I watching the game that night and cyar believe de man shoot from just inside the semi-circle of the half. ANd de ball do all kinda thing in the air. Good strike. Men getting more and more daring. Keepers need to be alert, cause man shooting once they comfortably past the half way line.

Thought Seaman could have had Gazza's but like he didn't see it til late....amazing strike nevertheless.
Le Tissier's reminds me of this goal- equally brilliant if not more...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1YihynMl5Y
Garrincha's reminded of Eder's in this game- only it went in directly

Rivelino's was some serious precision- 9 out of 10 times he may have hit the wall....
Don't remember if we remember to put Chilavert in the "best left foot" thread a few months ago....
And Cubillas- well he was just de boss.....
Thanks for the clips J'

Pirlo will be setting the pace for Italy at Euro 2008
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/8152032/Pirlo-will-be-setting-the-pace-for-Italy-at-Euro-2008
ROME (AP) - Andrea Pirlo is the quiet man at the heart of Italy's midfield.
Described as "soccer's Leonardo" for his inventive play, Pirlo has also been called "the metronome" for the way he sets his team's timing and pace.
With Francesco Totti now retired from international play, Pirlo is more important than ever for the Azzurri. You wouldn't know it by talking to him.
Pirlo is one of the most understated, introverted players at the sport's highest level. Just getting a smile out of him takes effort.
"That's how I am. I'm not interested in becoming famous," he said recently. "I prefer to spend my free time with my family rather than commercializing myself.
"I do what is necessary, and then I keep my free time - which isn't much - to myself."
Labeled a prodigy when he made his Serie A debut with his native Brescia at 16, Pirlo struggled to meet expectations when he moved to Inter Milan in 1998. He scored 15 goals in 37 games with Italy's under-21 team, but didn't really develop into a top player until he moved across town to AC Milan in 2001.
Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti had the foresight to move Pirlo from a pure playmaker into a deeper director's role centered just in front of the defense.
Not yet 30, Pirlo is in the middle of his prime. He's already made 45 appearances for Italy, with seven goals.
Pirlo has also developed into one of the game's top free kick specialists, scoring twice from dead-ball situations in a World Cup qualifier with Scotland in 2005.
Two of Pirlo's three goals in Serie A this season came on free kicks, with the other a penalty. In the Champions League, he scored twice: one free kick and one long-range effort during regular play.
Teammates gather to watch Pirlo practice free kicks in training.
"I try to explain it to (Antonio) Di Natale and (Fabio) Quagliarella," Pirlo said, referring to the two Azzurri wingers. "Sometimes even (Vincenzo) Iaquinta. With Milan, (Clarence) Seedorf tries to copy me."
Kaka is another student of Pirlo's.
"He tries, but I told him copying isn't easy," Pirlo said. "I mean, he's already taken my place as the penalty kicker. That's enough, isn't it?"
Pirlo is a keen observer of Lyon midfielder Juninho.
"Juninho used the inside of his foot more than I do. I studied and developed my own style," Pirlo said. "Everything has to be under control. The movement of the leg is fundamental. I kick with the inner part of my foot, but with the point, and I try to get under the ball as much as possible to make it change direction."
While Zinedine Zidane's head butt into Marco Materazzi is most people's lasting memory of the World Cup final, few remember which player was voted the Man of the Match - Pirlo.
Pirlo's perfectly placed corner kick set up Materazzi's equalizing goal, and he converted the first penalty of the shootout that Italy won to secure its fourth world title.
In all, Pirlo earned Man of the Match in three out of Italy's seven matches at the 2006 World Cup. He also scored Italy's first goal in the opener against Ghana, and his assist to Fabio Grosso in extra time of the semifinal win over Germany was perhaps the best pass of the tournament.
"He's an authentic Brazilian," Brazil native and Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. "He has the personality and inventiveness of a playmaker, and he sacrifices himself for the good of the team."
Carlos Alberto Parreira, who coached Brazil to 1994 World Cup title, added, "It's as if Zico were put in front of the defense to create for his teammates."

Absolutely! And dahs why he is one of less than a handful of players to feature in my signature.
Many times when I watch Milan play I try to observe where he is relative to the ball. Sometimes it's baffling because he appears to be doing nothing at all ... that's not this thread.
Good post.
-
watch Juninho make this ball move twice, maybe three times. Incredible! Nah! Impossible!

Roberto Carlos "curve around de wall" bullet against France.
That was just amazing!!

Yeah boy Andre, I know this is not the thread for it eh.. But i just didnt want to start a whole new thread as i was thinking woulda be kinda selfish nuh.. not everybody like Italy like me..
But Pirlo boy..
I bought the Italy v Germany 2006 world cup DVD just because of his performance.
That was one of the most complete and flawless midfield performances I have ever witnessed.
Is like the words "man on!" mean nothing to him at all, de man dont ever look like he under pressure even if 3 men rushing him at the top of his own 18.
PS: observer that was a wicked juninho free kick!

I would assume it is for the same reason you can't dribble with a free kick. You can't pass the ball to your self. By cupping the ball with two feet you are touching the ball twice.

presumably someone could still flick the ball up with one foot (for someone else to volley)?
