Goalkeepers will go up for attacking freekicks and corners late in a game if the team is losing by one goal or sometimes if they are drawing in very important games. They do it in order to just get more people in the box and hopefully draw a defender away from someone else, very rarely the goalkeepers actually get on the end of one of the set pieces and on the even rarer occasion, they actually manage to score! It is one of my favourite things to see on a football pitch!

[@jacksmith4460]

All the types of spin/curve/dip: The curve on the Roberto Carlos freekick, is from spin. You can put side spin on the ball by striking across the ball with the upper/outside of the foot (which is what was done by Carlos) , this creates a violent arc in the ball flight but can hard to do accurately. Juninho also was a master of this technique The other way is with the instep and a "wrapping" motion of the foot as you strike through the ball, this causes the rotation and is easier to gain accuracy, but is harder to do from distance. David Beckham was a master of these There is another way to apply spin and that is vertically so , forward or back spin, Top/Forward spin creates dip, is hard to apply to a shot from the ground, and is more commonly seen on shots from volley, back spin creates a "pitched" style ball flight and stunts the roll of the ball as it lands (commonly used for passing). You might see both vertical types of spin on passes and shots , but back spin is more common on passes, and top sin on shots. Some good examples: Passes: Steven Gerrard - lots of great great top spin passes, Andre Pirlo - great back spin passes, Shots: Zinadine Zidane- back spin penalty goal , great example, Wayne Rooney - many top spin volleys scored, Gheorgi Hagi - could create top spin from the floor, the best dip and curve I have seen on freekicks, Juninho and Hagi the 2 best freekick takers I have ever seen, There is also another way to create ball movement and that is using no spin at all but causing the ball to deform in certain ways. The most famous way is the "Knuckle ball" which Cristiano Ronaldo does quite a lot, and other players (this creates curl and dip from the ground) This technique is about striking through the ball as true as possible but making contact with the ball with the knuckle of the big toe, causing deforimation at the point of impact, which causes the curve and dip , and sometimes it will change direction in the air. Knuckle ball is pretty much always used on shooting free kicks only. Cristiano Ronaldo and Juninho masters of this Lool that was pretty indepth

[@michaelscott7166]

In the case of Roberto Carlos it also helps if the wind is gusting in the right direction.

[@Validboy]

Similar to a curveball in baseball for these mericans.. I think spinning it sideways makes the air pass by faster on one side than the other and the result is the arc, however it can be helped or hurt by the wind too ofcause..

[@Luiz-oy6tc]

@@Validboy You've described the phenomenon precisely. Just for reference, It's called Magnus Effect, a consequence of the Bernoulli's equation in fluid dynamics.

[@Validboy]

@@Luiz-oy6tc Yep, The Magnus effect. That sounds accurate. Loved doing a bit of work on the old 'Magnus effect' when I was young.. Facinating work..

[@Fez135]

The curve on balls is down to the Magnus effect. As it spins it creates a pressure differential across the ball so it moves towards its rotation i.e. If it's rotating clockwise it will move right, anticlockwise it will move left. The same thing applies in any direction you can get it to spin, so backspin makes it rise and topspin makes it dip. If you can hit it like a knuckleball and keep it from rotating then it's at the mercy of the air it moves through and kinda wobbles unpredictably. It's actually really difficult to kick a football without it curving because your foot usually comes at the ball on an angle which will inevitably cause it to spin in the air. The trick is getting it to spin how you want it to, and as much as you want it to.

Goalies can score they just can’t handle outside of the box

[@kurtsudheim825]

Yes but they don't usually go outside the box, other than for last minute corners or fc's if they're losing or drawing, like the bicycle kick, but where Adrian ran out to score that was a testimonial, it was the same team playing against each otger

[@themrkoxi8334]

That goalkeeper is from Columbia. His name is René Higuita, and he did that scorpion kick, against England, in '95. The craziest sht, I have ever seen.

[@chris1london]

Although it's worth pointing out the ref had blown his whistle, so the game had effectively stopped. I remember watching it live and being amazed.

[@themrkoxi8334]

@@chris1london Me too.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

At the first goal Roberto Carlos kicked the ball with his left foot by giving it a contraclockwise spin..that´s why that ball had that kind of curve..he had to hit the ball with his instep exactly at the center in order to give the ball that power/velocity which it had but with a leg-movement from left to right in order to give the ball that contraclockwise spin..that´s how he had done it..and giving the ball spin with the instep is technical highest level. He also could have hit the ball with his outside of the foot (that´s how it is usually done) that would had made the same curve direction (even a way more extreme curve) but then the ball wouldn´t had been that fast..He probably would have done that when he wouldn´t had been that far away from the goal...when he would have played the ball with the inside of the foot the curve would have had an clockwise spin curving in the opposite direction...but for kicking the ball in the right corner of the goal while kicking the ball with the iside of the foot he would had to let the ball passing the human wall at the left side instead of the right side. For the right foot that all happens vice versa = hit the ball with the inside of the foot = contraclockwise spin = ball is curving to the left/outside of the foot = clockwise spin = ball curving to the right....straight shots are done with the instep hitting the ball at the center.

[@JB-gn8yh]

You are wrong, roberto said in a intervie. It was good luck, there was a strong wind and i kicked the ball wrong, so i got luck.. Check your facts bro

[@michaelgrabner8977]

​@@JB-gn8yh I really don´t care if he didn´t hit the ball right or wrong and if the wind helped...because that has nothing to do with my statement... If he wouldn´t had kicked the ball wrong - which can happen even to a professional player - then he would had kicked the balll right and then he would have done it how I discribed.. So therefore your statement is in the actual matter of my statement where I described the ball technique for "How to kick a ball in order to give him spin in order to curve the trajectory" totally useless and worthless and just showed quite clearly that you didn´t play Football in a Club (no matter if on professional level or amateur level) by yourself but which I did for many years....You are - according to your statement - just a "football match-watcher" with not the slightest clue about actual "ball technique"... So please never ever talk to me about football again...because I do not discuss such things with a "Game-Watcher" who clearly doesn´t know how to kick a ball but thinks he has to say something about that matter... because everyone who also played Football in a Club and got therefore educated in ball technique wouldn´t had disagreed to my statement..

Rumour had it that he placed the ball with the valve in the right spot to get that curve with a fast ball.

Spin, like in pool or snooker. Teams often have an informal agreement that their goalie is going to get to score a goal two or three times in a season. So they'll arrange a play whereby he comes out from their goal to go for it. And of course if games have to be decided by penalty, goalies can also volunteer for a penalty kick.

Players put bend/curve/topspin on the ball with their foot in a similar way to a baseball pitcher using his hand/fingers to manipulate different pitches. Want to swerve the ball out to the right, and back left? Come across the back to right side of the ball, and follow through with a swivel of the hips and power. It's hard to explain when it's kinda 2nd nature to do it. Oh, and ball awareness is beyond key to football. 22 players on a 110x70yd field, and only one ball. The entire game, and every aspect of it, are based on the location/possession of the ball, so watch ya ball! Lol

Loving these football reactions, keep them up! Definitely check out a Ronaldinho compilation that guy is insane!

7:22 Do you actually not know that match? Its definitely like Top 3 Story in Football in the last Century. Also 7:45 Goalkeeper sometimes do that, when it is a very important game, and they absolutely have to score a goal, if not they are out of the tournament or whatever. Then when they get a corner in the last seconds of the game, they just run infront of goal to help to score, because if they score they are safe, and if they lose the ball it doesnt matter anyway because they just lose, because they did not score a goal

You guys should wait until the result tomorrow in the England game and then react to its coming home live with Frank skinner in preparation for the final 😉

A goalkeeper scoring a goal like that is about as likely as an NFL kicker coming on and scoring a 60yard touchdown

I'm so ball aware. Maybe too much.
