It is quite obvious that u never took frees or play much ball, for u to be highly skilled free kicker not even at the level of Juniniho or Beckham you have to the mental capacity and skill to do it and it dont just come so.Originally posted by Karl View Post
it takes years of practice and coaching, as T.K rightly said you don't learn it when you start play international.
that's surprising that Jerry Hue no practice much...imagine if he did...that alone would have had him in an Arsenal shirt.Comment

some people can shoot free throws, some people can just kick a dead ball... dem have the right combination of quality characteristics... foot size and instep, leg strength and nuff technique which comes with practice... i doubt if nandi even practice kicking... i dont think de ballaz dem a yard practice dem tings deh enuff...'to get what we've never had, we MUST do what we've never done'Comment

Take one good Free-Kick does not say you can even kick the ball properly! ...may have been just luck!Originally posted by Mosiah View Post
Unfortunately most of our JA footballers cannot kick the ball consistently well! You think it is an accident why so many passes go astray?
...and, what is a FREE-KICK other than another pass? ...and, like with all passes the kicker attempts to accomplish something specific!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Yaaa listen to MO? Cousins is perhaps the best free-kick taker in the league to this day, and I'm not exaggerating or nuttin. He's scored perhaps 2 or three thus far this season and came close on many occasions. He has this strange free kick technique where he uses the outside of his right boot. The ball makes some unusual curves when he blasts it. Reminiscent of those strange Roberto Carlos free kicks.Originally posted by Karl View PostComment

Outside of the right foot is not strange - It should, if taken properly, makes the ball go left...then right!Originally posted by Lionpaw View Post"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

I am not saying that he isn't good, but I am not going to bat for him just because you said so. I'm sure there will be ample time for me to make such a judgment if it's indeed true. Yuh tink mi a go badmind him and no big him up when him deserve it?
Nothing so strange about his technique. Well, these days, perhaps. About a week ago I was telling a HV baller that we rarely see those kicks these days.
In the meantime, Lionpaw, gwaan put him exploits in the CPPL. Mek di whole a wi see fi wisself.

Yes, but when he does it, it makes some outrageous dips and curves. Remember that shot that R Carlos scored against us that made Ricketts look dumber than he already is? That's how his free kicks curve but they rocket in the air and dip quicker than a missile..Originally posted by Karl View PostComment

Good!Originally posted by Lionpaw View Post
Is he often putting them on target?
...and, does he ever vary the kicks?"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Unless he is ambidextrous. Is he ?Comment

Think you are making the case for many competent FREE-KICK takers.Originally posted by Scaly View Post
...but, as a technical matter he could use that same right foot and get that same swinging action and put in a cross behind the opposition defensive line as opposed to putting the ball on goal.
That would give a ball that initially goes towards goal...then swings away from goal. Point of apex and point where it is aimed the ball will 'hit' TEAMmates + velocity will decide effectiveness.
Other approaches could also be considered including the one you are suggesting a 'left-footed kicker' getting the FREE-KICK on goal direct shot.
Aside: Such a right foot kick could also put the ball on goal over and behind the defensive wall and on near side (left side) of goal. It would all depend on how quickly the goal-keeper could get over to effect save of an accurate kick of high velocity.
The ball would initially approach from the outside of the near upright and above cross-bar height...then curl inwards and dip into near side of goal i.e. left side as stated by you.Last edited by Karl; December 12, 2007, 04:16 PM."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

He uses the inside of his right boot in these situations.Originally posted by Scaly View PostComment
