>> ^reiwan: He's left footed, so a curve to the left wouldnt be that hard. Now if he was right footed and did that, I'd be amazed. Otherwise, its just a pretty good kick.
Is that not reverse curve? Maybe different rules apply to footballs than they do rugby balls, but I would have expected a left footed kick from there to actually swing away from the posts (left to right on the screen).
When you see free kicks taken in football, a right footer normally pushes the ball out to the right and it swings to the left. For a left footer, the converse is true. Here, a left footed kick results in the swing I would expect from a right footed one. My conclusion would be that either I suck at figuring this stuff out, he has a foot made from some alien artifact, or there's a hefty breeze.
The commentator does mention that he's currently 0 from 2, so perhaps the heavy wind had something to do with this. Then again, it doesn't seem to be that windy... Hmmmm.....
