The greatest left back in the history of the sport retired two weeks ago but this is the free
kick that made him immortal. And unbeknownst to him, he used very well established laws of physics
to generate that stupendous lift and spin that seemingly defied every law of physics.
The video above explains a little bit but to learn more here is a classic that really explores
in depth how he achieved that kick.
TweetPortugal suffered a 3-1 defeat to Turkey leaving angry home fans no option but to boo and jeer
their team yet again with Euro 2012 just around the corner. A brace by Umut Bulut and a Pepe own
goal sandwiched in between a Nani strike saw the hosts crash to a 3-1 defeat in their [...]
Another sextuplet of exceptional goals from around the globe for you to wade through (as always,
you're going to have to be quick with a few of them the Youtube police are
lurking)...
1. Cristiano Ronaldo, REAL MADRID vs Hertha Berlin
The one in every ten that doesn't just crash into the wall or balloon into the upper tier.
Since Bayern Munich are not only playing in the Champions League final, but hosting it as well,
the locals are understandably excited. So excited, in fact, that a few of them decided to make
themselves up to look like Bayern winger Franck Ribery, facial scars and all.
When Ribery was just two years old, he was in a car accident with his family, which left him
with injuries to his face that required hundreds of stitches.
In the immediate aftermath of Fabio Capello's resignation on Wednesday night, a number of
England players shared their views on the matter via Twitter. "Gutted Capello has quit. Good guy
and top coach. Got to be English to replace him. Harry Redknapp for me," said Wayne Rooney. These
comments were relayed to his former teammate and current ITV pundit Roy Keane, who promptly
eviscerated him.
You get freedom of the cottage for cup games and, for the sake of it, I got tickets right behind
the goal in the Putney End. You can see me in red talking to Martin after AJ shot straight at the
keeper in the first half.
Anyway, lessons have been learned about sitting too close: that shot, for instance, felt like a
sitter from where we were.
Roberto Mancini miserable as Manchester City crash what the back pages say
Roberto Mancini last night admitted that Manchester City face almost certain elimination from
the Champions League. Also, Arsene Wenger has told his Arsenal team not to let the battle for
London supremacy interfere with their European aspirations.

Why Villa must splash the cash in wake of pitiful pre-season defeat to
Derby
I was at Pride Park last night to see Aston Villa crash to a disappointing 2-0 defeat to
Championship Derby as the hosts' keeper barely had a save to make. Villa line-up was admittedly a
largely second string team.
Liverpool Reserves saw their preparations for the new season suffer a blow as they went down to
a 2-0 defeat against a strong Tranmere Rovers side on Tuesday night.

On this week's roundup, even the women are doing it: England's women's team crash out of the
World Cup – on penalties! The Newscorp scandal: how could it affect English football? And the
woman who accused three FIFA members of taking bribes to vote for Qatar 2022 withdraws her claim,
but even the withdrawal smacks of suspicion.
We were all shocked when the story initially broke. If you were living under a rock at the time,
it surfaced in early May that Marcos Alonso was involved in a crash. One woman died and three other
passengers of the car were seriously injured. Alonso, the driver of the car, escaped relatively
unscathed but also with a hefty amount of alcohol in his system.
Spain go through. France crash out, even if the damage is reparable: the press are disappointed
with their analysis points.Those analysis points: worth a look. The special point of the podcast:
Richard Farley returns to evaluate the tournament so...
Following two years of heartbreaking losses at the U.S. Adult Soccer Association Region II
tournament, the Croatian Eagles men's Under-23 team faced the prospect of a similar exit Sunday
morning in Fort Wayne, Ind.
But down by a goal heading into the final 10 minutes of the regional final against Illinois side
GLSA FC 1974, the Croatians flipped the story this time around.
That's just one of the things Ben Olsen had to say after his team lost last week to the
Philadelphia Union. The loss ended DC United's run in this year's US Open Cup, which has seen a
slew of MLS sides crash out to lower-division opposition.

The Bandwagon Effect By JG Jumping on bandwagons is distastefully popular these days amongst SOME
(not all) Arsenal fans. That is, until the bandwagons crash due to the "flawed logic" they were
built upon. The list is very long, but here are a few recent examples. 1. We need to buy a new

The former Argentina captain was named as the replacement for the sacked Gregorio Manzano on

Staggering data from a report in the Daily Mail today (never one to forego a scaremongering story).
They have mapped the current economic mess onto previous crashes to show how long it took to
recover each time.
As you can see this current crash is on course to be the longest in history...
