World Cup Free Kicks

Kap10

Whether its the ball, the altitude ro ineptitude the free kicks have been dire so far. What i don't understand is why don't they re work their routines so that they do not have to kick the ball over the bar or into the wall. Just saw an old world cup - France, where the argentinians worked their second goal against us rather than just blasting it. Someone needs to be creative out there

they've been pants, like most of the shooting from long range ... it's almost a miracle if someone shoots from outside the box and the ball doesn't go flying into orbit .... learn to kick the poxy thing properly ffs

Heard the most ridiculous thing the other day.This ball is too round apparently.

And to think Bobby Charlton and Eusebio used to score 40 yard screamers with a 1.5 tonne medicine ball.

yep, apart from Ronaldo's dig yesterday, there's been nothing of great note from distance (Forlan's took a slight deflection but was still pretty good)

David Villa's shot that hit the bar yesterday was a great strike.

What about the first goal of the world cup, by the south african?

that wasn't outside the box (granted a great strike)
