Roberto Carlos Free Kick

The Roberto Carlos free kick: Amazing free kick from the Brazilian defender Carlos with the outside of the left foot from a great distance….you don’t often see the soccer ball move like this. The ball appears like it’s going two or three yards out of bounds only to swing back in.

This free kick goal from Carlos was showing off the knuckle ball shot before Cristiano Ronaldo started to make it famous. Carlos was the first to bend the ball like this. It’s also really the first viral soccer video online. Watch how the ball moves around the wall as if Carlos cast a spell on it.

Maybe one of the best goals ever scored from a free kick. When you think of Robert Carlos you probably think of this free kick for Brazil. Fabien Barthez can only watch it go in. And it’s a free kick from quite a ways out so Carlos has to get power on it, as you see land on his shooting foot after the strike.
