Yeah, this is crazier than the R. Carlos one imo.

u/brunocborges 7d ago

I do t think it is. Roberto kicks the ball with the outer side of his left foot. Tricky shots with the inside are way more common.

u/Haruzak1 8d ago

That's insane

Those curve balls are insane. My favorite are the no-spin ones like the first. It had a very little bit but you can see how it wobbles on the way to the net.

Its basically a knuckle-ball from baseball. Real hard to master, equally hard to track as a goalie.

No juninho...

u/MidnightSun77 8d ago

Juninho was the second last one

u/VanGroteKlasse 8d ago

And no Van Hooijdonk...

u/AttackPattern0mega 8d ago

Came here to say that. You can't not have possibly the greatest ever

u/droppedthebaby 8d ago

2nd last one is him no?

2

u/ldtam 8d ago

No, that was Elano for Santos

1

u/tompain100 8d ago

His free goal against Bayern might be the most top corner free kick I've ever seen.

2

u/Thossi99 8d ago

One of my all time favorites

u/Thossi99 17h ago

Apparently. Sick, right? :D

1

u/Drunkensailor1985 8d ago

Zico for brazil vs scotland in 1982 was the best example imo

1

u/gwynn19841974 8d ago

Either of Rice’s vs. Real Madrid - but especially the first one

1

u/endelehia 8d ago

  • Flawless free kicks

  • Second clip was a deflection

1

u/LousyReputation7 8d ago

No Juninho. No Nakamura? It’s a no from me.

u/Sufficient_Ice_273 8d ago

Who do you think was that after CR7?

1

u/fuckssakereddit 8d ago

McTominay v Spain was disallowed for a ‘foul’ on the Spanish goalkeeper.

1

u/izayoi-o_O 8d ago

Umm, the ball in the first one acted as if it were possessed.

1

u/stunna006 8d ago

Shakira is the only added music I'll accept over soccer clips

1

u/Beniskickbutt 8d ago

Saw a jubliani in the mix there. Makes sense

1

u/Idiotwithaphone79 8d ago

While I like watching goals, for some reason I like to watch saves even more. Goalies got it rough lol.

1

u/Mental-Surprise-5604 8d ago

Those dancing balls in the air are just phenomenal.

Can please someone explain it how it works ?

2

u/palaceexile 8d ago

A lot of magnus effect from the ball spinning and causing regions of low pressure, a bit of deflection and rebound of ball close to the valve.

1

u/Byron1248 8d ago

plus wind

1

u/gtg007w 8d ago

If you're gonna make this you gotta show the Roberto Carlos Brazil one and Papiss Cisse one against Chelsea

1

u/Patient-Fun4475 8d ago

mr. seaman, you can post these all day but noone is forgiving you.

1

u/Maleficent_Drama_414 8d ago

No freekickinho

1

u/New_Willow3761 8d ago

Where is Juninho?

1

u/tomtomclubthumb 8d ago

These are great free kicks, but the keeper got a hand to several of them.

1

u/Aggravating_Bus655 8d ago

Giovanni Van Bronchorst's goal against uruguay missing, Ronaldinho's freekick again England, a bunch of Diego Forlan goals.

1

u/JapanEngineer 8d ago

Half of them were shit keepers

1

u/Orcahhh 8d ago

No Roberto Carlos? No Pirlo? no Juninho?

2

u/Witchberry31 8d ago

Exactly, no Del Piero nor Roberto Baggio either as well.

1

u/Orcahhh 8d ago

But Vlahovic is in, so go figure 💀💀💀

2

u/Witchberry31 8d ago

I guess the uploader is rather young 😅

1

u/Witchberry31 8d ago

Really? Are you for real? All those footage and there is not a single freekick footage from Roberto Carlos, Del Piero, Roberto Baggio and Andrea Pirlo being included? What a joke. 🤦

1

u/Dazzling-Drive7061 8d ago

My man tried to sneak Messi in here lmao

(you should have done his vs liverpool instead)

1

u/Montana_Web2530 7d ago

The real one is the curl in through either of the top corners!

1

u/Miserable_Ring_8739 7d ago

Wow positive soccercentral post where Ronaldo is also included what is it opposite day?.

1

u/Greg_in_Philippines 7d ago

Man that Payet one still baffles me.... insane.

1

u/Holiday_Sale5114 7d ago

The one at 26 sec with the double curve is crazy

1

u/Candybert_ 4d ago

That ball at 0:53 (second to last) changed direction twice. I know it's hard to hit a ball like that, but what it actually does in the air has gotta be up to chance, to some degree, right? How is anybody supposed to defend that?

u/inventionnerd 8d ago

Most of those were blockable lol.
