TOP 20 FREE KICKS ● WORLD CUPS

Top 20 free kicks in World Cups history.

[@Joao-up8wd]

That free kick byBranco in 1994 deserve to be into this list. Nice video.

[@scarimorales2222]

Have to agree, one of the great World Cup Free Kicks.

[@jimmylashiosb4538]

Yes It is… but it was a friendly match maybe that's why is not into this World Cups list … Here's the link of the match of Bramco's freekick kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKrkKmvpblrgtE

[@antoniocenteno1483]

He menat the one against neatherlands@@jimmylashiosb4538

[@josefloidl3404]

My exact same thought. I will never forget Branco’s free kick: sheer force

[@gostodemaisdaroca4052]

​@@jimmylashiosb4538what ? That was a WC semi-final.

[@paulbradshaw303]

Love the reaction from Pele to the Garrincha free kick. Joyous

[@anibalantinori7415]

I'm a Chilean and I do believe that Cubillas's should be at least the third. His technique was just out of this world. A marvelous piece of art along with Ronaldinho's

[@bm5754]

I agree

[@NittyGritty85]

the Cubillas's outside the foot you don't see often even back when football was real, I can accept R10 is #1 but 7th place for that cheeky beauty

[@juanmiguelcalidoniomanzana5345]

El que hizo Sierra también es una joya

[@procyonant6805]

If I remember correctly, the goal from Sanchez's free kick against the great black spider Yashin

[@omerloay7918]

4:47 Teófilo Cubillas‏ , the man who invented the Trivela shot then mastered by Quaresma , one of the rarest technic in football

[@tinininho]

How he invented the Trivela in 1978 when you see in this video Garrinha in 1966, at 02:07, using a trivela kick? Anyway, it was a amazing skill demonstred by Teófilo.

[@egbertoalves6429]

Didi (Genius, Brazilian player, won WCin 58) the Man who invented Folha Seca, was the coach of Peru in the 70WC, he probably taught Cubillas trivela and some tricks

[@yota5669]

Invented trivela "Brazil"

[@hesselinkm]

There is atleast two more free kicks from USA 94 which deserves to be in top 5 here - Branco's goal VS Holland and Stoichkov's goal against defending champions Germany!

[@SKa-tt9nm]

100% correct, on both accounts. Multiple free kicks on this list are vastly inferior to branco’s and stoichkov’s. One was from 35 meters and the other froze a World Cup winning goalkeeper in place.

[@krissludriks8520]

Garrincha and Zico are so underrated. But anyways awesome video! Such a good idea!!!

[@buelle4542]

Ugly Turtle they are not underrated people who know football garrincha and zico are one of the best players in history

[@nigefal]

Espeically when you look at Zico's history of free kicks he was able to do exactly the same thing over and over again.

[@artimuoseejrehkum9577]

For me Garrincha is one the greatest

[@partyguinness]

Seriously dude…quit with the “so underrated” BS…only kids who never heard of them say that. They were not underrated.

[@12pure]

Both Zico and Garrincha are Top 15 All Time Players in History. Real football fans as a sport knows that fact.

[@f82argento]

Los brasileños siempre le pegaron como los dioses, no en vano hay 7 en esta lista, y faltan otros como Nelinho, Roberto Carlos, etc. El de Cubillas contra Escocia, 3 dedos por afuera justo al ángulo es una obra de arte; debería estar en el top 3. Me acuerdo de verlo en directo.... Enorme jugador Teófilo.

[@zdravkokalaba2641]

I think that you missed Stojkovic against Spain in Italy 1990…

[@manoelalmeidajunior6203]

Cubilla foi um baita craque. Também colocaria como Top3

[@victornunesnogueira]

Branco... 1994

[@adriancimpoi8765]

Cubillas against Scotland should have been no. 1!

[@johnburrows3385]

My favourite is Revelino's ....so simple but beautifully executed. This would not be possible now as opposition players are no longer allowed in a wall.

[@riccardoangeli802]

Se jairzinho non si fosse abbassato abbastanza... Sarebbe morto 😜

[@hellowalkman4506]

That Rivelino goal should've been Top 10 at least

[@DiJACKER]

Poor video

[@terranceparsons5185]

I completely agree. He got the ball through a 2 foot gap.

[@FI32690]

Exactly

[@sayedaboushady2213]

It should be one of the best three.

[@StephenReid-hk8hs]

The free kick for Peru v Scotland has to be the best, was the most skilful with the outside of the boot 💯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@jangelderloos2211]

Insane drop at the end of Ronaldinho's free kick. No.1 for a reason!

[@j.stock.84]

Cubilla's goal was fantastic

[@bluesky4825]

Stojkovic vs Espana World Cup Italy 1990. First goal on that game ☝️ Second goal is free kick, but first goal is pure art 🤩

[@mikekuridza7760]

best goal ever

[@Tyronewasere]

Peru goal was the best. You have never seen a free kick like that since.

[@afandiimuttaqii2894]

Tomas Brolin goal against Romania in World Cup 1994 (USA-94) was one of the most inovative freekicks in history. It should be mentioned in your list.

[@slobodanmrkonjic5316]

Siniša Mihajlovic freekick in 1998 should be on the list too

[@johnjim6793]

Also David Platt‘s goal for England vs Belgium from 1990 should be there. It was so exquisitly executed that one journalist wrote that the Belgian defense hadn‘t even made a mistake. But I guess this video only festures direct free kick goals.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Stoichkov’s against Germany in the same ‘94 World Cup as well. Froze a World Cup winning goalkeeper.

[@eduardofiolmujica2996]

Leonel Sánchez, Chile vs USSR, 1962. Great kick.

[@joseantoniogonzalezsanchez7301]

Increíble gol de Cubillas

[@Yucaste]

[@9g8hestro]

Now look at that by Cubillas! I mean we are used to everyone doing some sort of "Beckham", but Cubillas that was special.. From the left side, with the right and slightly outside of the foot into the net. Original.

[@MathiasEggimann]

My favorite because of how unique it is.

[@MrRoltender]

Kroos vs. Sweeden. Saved their ass for a day ...

[@jerryoshea3116]

I'm gonna make this point,whenever I feel necessary,for a accurate prospective! ..Rivelinos,Garincha,Dirceu,Zico,Ghengini the French player the Peruvian star Cubilas ( and some others) 'Freekicks' were achieved with the Hard Leather Ball( which was being used up until the early 1990's) After the late 90's, u started to see that light plastic Ball being used far more frequently! ..So anyone who has played and used both, knows full well that the lighter Ball flys all over the place &allows all kinds of Players to strike it from long distances,curl and bend it in all directions,when the 'old Leather ball' only allowed those with a special skill set to achieve these feats!!..Think about it!

[@riccardoalcaro8483]

Rivelino's should number one. I was never that much impressed by Ronaldino's goal vs England, it seems a lucky shot more than anything else

[@miguelporras8366]

[@Marceloony]

RIVELINO 💣⚽ #1

[@Adelantee74]

Nice but most beautiful free kick ever (if not greatest goal ever) is by Roberto Carlos in friendly against Brazil

[@Adelantee74]

*Against France

[@paulomirandaarias9544]

So? This list is for World Cup free kicks

[@detonator2112]

The best free kick goal (sure not a direct free kick) was Javier Zanetti against England in 1998.

[@elem2992]

In my opinion, you forget Branco in world cup 1994. His strike was so heavy than you can litteraly heard it

[@sandro19691000]

Where is BRANCO's belter vs the Netherlands SEMI FINAL 1994

[@sirius1094]

The list should have included the following free kicks: Eder (Brasil), vs Argentina, 1982 Branco (Brasil), vs The Netherlands, 1994 (a must, candidate for the best free kick in World Cup history) Kupcewicz (Poland), vs France, 1982 Stojkovic (Croatia), vs Spain, 1990 (discutable)

[@Zickofon]

Stojkovic didn't play for Croatia. He played for Yugoslavia (Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia, but Stojkovic is from Serbia which also was a part of Yugoslavia). Nevertheless, that was one great free kick by Stojkovic.

[@riccardoalcaro8483]

Eder's free-kick against Argentina was jaw-dropping but it hit the bar and Zico scored on the rebound. Should've deserved an honorable mention though

[@sirius1094]

@@riccardoalcaro8483 But didn't Eder's shot cross the goal line? And the author of the goal was nevertheless considered Zico, who actually finished the ball after it came back from behind the goal line? By the way, several goals from the list in the video should not be allowed either. In my opinion, only direct free kicks should count, but here several balls have been played and touched by another player before.

[@comunistanuncatemcomida]

Branco against Netherlands 1994 should be here. Was a good goal and decide the match

[@PredragCrnkovic]

The "foul" before this free kick wasn't existing, Rinaldino was laughing and crying, so Branco's goal was rotten.

BRAZIL 💝

[@lucazanotto4136]

Ronaldinho was a tremendous player and I always liked him a lot, but in that free kick he clearly wanted to make a taut cross into the box to find some deflection by a teammate, but he hit the ball wrongly, which ended up in the goal. You can really tell by the posture of his body and head. I remember that 2002 World Cup was played with the new (outrageous!) Fevernova Adidas ball that was very light and caused a lot of controversy because it took absurd trajectories...

[@philtred21]
