    I only saw the first half so at first I thought you were talking about his first free kick. Anyway, he's certainly left his mark before heading off to Tunisia.

    I really cant even imagine Beckham scoring a free kick like that, only Roberto Carlos does something like that.:)

    Is he still available on a free this summer. If so I can see quite a bit of interest being generated for him.

    Still have not seen the free yet but have been told its something special all right.

    Its the kind of free kick that I have only seen Roberto take. I'm a bit bored so I'll try and explain.:)

       .[B]!!!![/B]   <--wall         
       .
        !   <--Ockocha
    
    what 99% of players would do is hit it with the inside of their right foot, around the right side of the wall. But Okocha belted it with the outside of his right foot and curled it around the left side of the wall. Amazing!:)

    [edit]it didn't actually curl as much as the image above shows but you get me drift.;) [edit]
