Roberto Carlos is supposed to have 72 mph freekicks, and Adriano is supposed to have 80.5 mph. But when i was younger im sure i have seen the record being done on a Guiness World Records programme. But that was years ago i want to know the current Champ!

i'd go with roberto carlos as well, although he's not the most accurate. he scores about 2 goals a year. shevchenko has quite a strong shot as well. alan shearer has always been good with powerful free kicks for newcastle/england.

I would agree with you that Brazil failed to destroy Croatia by two or more goals. However, one must not underestimate the Croatian team. In 1998 World Cup, they made it to the semi-finals, if I'm not mistaken. Brazil dominated the match in my opinion and the team was all round pretty solid (except for Ronaldo). There were opportunities for the Croatians though which did not become goals. Brazil didn't do bad today but they could have done better. Perhaps they were holding back a little for tactical reasons? I'm not sure. Still, at the end of the day, a win's a win.

marlene....yes, it is a very sad news indeed!!!! hey can you give me the link to the site where you got this information from? I have been searching all over but I could not find any news article concering this latest injury on  Ronaldo. I heard  he has been sidelined but I do not know the extent of the injury and how long it would take him to recover from it.\nAnyhow, I am really disappointed in this news. I know he is the BEST STRIKER in the world and to me he will always be one of the best alongside Romario but  seeing him going through so much hardships pains me so much. I really hope he does not make the mistake of joining the MLS which will put a black mark on his glittering career. Ronaldo is still one of the most fearsome strikers in the world and there are other big teams who would welcome him with open arms. If he wants a change ( which I think he needs one), he better join a team in Italian/ English/Brazilian league than humiliate himself by playin in the MLS. I will never lose my hope on Ronaldo as he is the "phenemeno" and only a "phenemeno" can get out of this mess and show the world what he is capabale of doing.

kaka is a amazing player he is known for his speed, his team work, and his shots, mainly his shots......his shots are strong and precise he can score upclose and outside the box with his shots.......he is a midfielder and sometimes the coaches want him in a forward postion....he can play left, right or center......kaka plays for AC milan and Brazil....kaka sometimes takes free kicks with ac milan but his team mate adrea pirlo has more accuracy in free kicks so pirlo usually takes them....in Brazil his teamates ronaldinho and roberto carlos usually take the free kicks because roberto carlso has an very incredible hard shot and ronaldinho has a excelent accuracy shot......kaka is a starter in both brazil and ac milan.......

lol yeah. It's more intense and harder to score. I watched the 2004 beach soccer reruns on world sport and I saw Cantona playing for France. I was like.....whoa! That's so cool! hahah. yeah i'd like to see Ronaldinho play for his national beach soccer team after he retires like what Cantona did. That would be so tight to watch!!

Dida\nCafu, Juan, Lucio and Roberto Carlos\nEmerson, Zé Roberto, Kaka and Ronaldinho Gaucho\nRonaldo and Adriano\n\nKaka, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Adriano form what the press in Brazil calls the Magic Square. This is the most offensive team since 1970. \n\nBut I think that before the 3rd game Robinho will be a starter and that cicinho could replace Cafu in the Right Wing during the competition\n\nBTW, Cafu is the Right Winger and Roberto Carlos the Left Winger

It is almost a true story.  I first heard it from Adriano De Brito, Waldemar's younger brother (Waldemar "discovered" Pele).   It was in his second season with  Santos of Sao Paulo, against neighboring Cardoso, and he did indeed hit the crossbar and claim it was too high.  It was against his polite and quiet nature to argue like that.  Unfortunately, no one stopped the game to measure, but they did check afterwords and found him to be correct.  You have to remember, this was 1957 and facilities and equipment weren't what they are today   In fact, Pele never even played in cleats until joining Santos.

you guys jump to conclusions so quickly. For someone to compare Pele to Ronaldinho, it might help if Ronaldinho is not playing anymore. You can't look at a player and compare him to someone who has been retired for lots of years now...people have been able to look at Pele's career in-side and out because his career is over. Ronaldinho's is just starting and so far is has been going excellent...he has been scoring goals for Barcelona...he has been helping Brazil be dominate...I think looking at them right now they're equal but we will have to look at this better when Ronaldinho is done playing soccer. And they play a little different kind of game...Pele had some fast breaks...which Ronaldinho does also but he actually plays with the ball on the field tricking out players left and right.

It has to be Branco with the free kick in the 81st minute against Holland to send Brazil to the semi-final against Sweden.  Holland was pressing, got the equalizer just 5 minutes before Branco hit the free kick.

I have no idea if it is a record or not.  I found a website that you might be interested in.  It shows different kinds of records set at previous World Cups.  I hope you might find it interesting.

When I was in the service during the Viet Nam era, I was in Thailand for some R & R and I got hooked on the Thai kickboxing fights. Years later some one once asked who would win in a fight with a Thai kickboxer, Mohammud Ali or the kickboxer? I told the guy who asked that question if he had ever seen a real, not movie kickboxing match he wouldn't ask that question. I have seen guys that are 5 feet tall beat the hell out of guys that were over 6 feet tall. I told this guy Mohammud Ali wouldn't even last one round from a professional Thai kickboxer who was only 5 feet tall. For years he never believed me until he and his wife went to Thailand for vacation. When he came back he apologized for doubting me, because he then realized what I was talking about. And most of the kickboxers in the rest of the world would lose their a**es to a Thai kickboxer after three rounds, because they don't stop the fight because of blood unless the other guy cannot even stand up.

By double click do you mean the hitch kick?? There was an american sprinter/long jumper called Jesse Owens from ohio who, in 1935 set a world record of 8.13m, it stood for 25 years before being broken again. I think the hitch kick just evovled, it is adopted and modified by every male jumper and selected females (however they tend to employ the hang technique).

rivaldo isnt in the world cup because he plays the same position as ronaldinho, kaka and juninho all which are in great shape and are doin rly well on their teams..... if he was to play as a striker (like in 2002 world cup) he would be fightin for a position against adriano, ronaldo and robinho- all three arent that easy to beat

As other people have said, the record doesn't mean much if the guys he beat were tomato cans.  About 20 years ago, there was a middleweight named John "The Beast" Mugabi who had a similar record.  He fought Marvin Hagler and promptly got pasted.  Not saying the guy isn't any good, just that you should take inflated records with a grain of salt.
