Sportsnet reviews and analyzes a Carlos Roberto goal.

He kicked the ball on the outside of his foot...they do it all the time. If you can't bend a ball in both directions at any time with either foot, chances are you aren't making the team.

In a full sprint with a bouncing target at an angle of .8 degrees from nearly 90 feet away..?

Sounds like one tough soccer/football tryout @_@

westysays...

although he was trying to score , he was not trying to do EXACTLY what he did ,

its the equivelnt of sumone firing a shot in the dark with the intention of hitting a bird.

but obvously evan though its imporbable whoever took the shot having a ultral pro player atempt a shot in the dark like this is far more likely for it to sucseed than if it was a total noob.

and the resulting outcome is pretty cool , I just wouldn't directly attribute it to a full intentional goal its probably more analguse to when sumone takes a shot at the goal from the half way line and it happens to bounce over the keeper.
