In all honesty, we know absolutely nothing about this free-kick, who scored it or which club they are actually playing for and against.

The only snippets of info that we are privvy to is that it was posted on an Arabic sport website, it happens to be a prime example of what the youth of today seem to refer to as ‘chapeauing’ and that it’s absolutely bloomin’ brilliant…

If anyone has any further details, feel free to share. These guys deserve a bit of credit.

  3. Greg says:

    Could be a Kazakh league? Fantastic stuff though.

  4. Chris says:

    Thinking about it, it does look a little on the ‘cold’ side for an Arabic club/league – good spot guys.

    @Goaltastic: A true classic of the genre!

    “Looks a little on the cold side”

    You’re an idiot.

    @ Montesquieu

    Again with this twattery? I sincerely hope Chris or Ollie bans you, you chronically unfunny little parasite.

    @ Montesquieu seriously, what HAS crawled up your fanny you bitter little freak.

  8. Tom Jones says:

    Should be dissalowed. Awful refereeing. A free kick shall be taken with one kick not leading thee ball with your foot like that.

  9. dc says:

    Tom Jones: The worst football fan ever. I bet you think bicycle kicks should be outlawed for the foot being too high as well.

  10. Fredmeister says:

    Do not feed the Troll guys. He is pretty easy to see through.

    @dc. Technically, Tom Jones is right. Someone used to do that for Everton (I think) for fun back in the 70s, but it was outlawed. Dont know why, its TEKKERS

    the add behind the goal looks like belarusian.
    for a moment I thought this is belarusian national team but not sure…

  12. shisha says:

    it’s Belarus

    lol now that was just cheeky

    Tom Jones at 8:14pm….You’re obviously illiterate or have never read the Laws of the Game. Here is the correct rule for taking a free kick:

    Law 13 – Free Kicks, in the FIFA Board decisions section

    A free kick can be taken by lifting the ball with a foot or both feet
    simultaneously.

    Stay home and read the Laws or stay off websites that make you look like a fool!

    Saw a similar one from an indirect free kick inside the box between Asa Hartford and Dennis Tueart for Man City in the 80’s. Great skill.

  16. Billy says:

    I am also illiterate. I read ‘chapeauing’ as ‘sha-pooing.’ I thought for sure I was going to see a player poo on the ball before another player kicked it. This was silly of me to think that because in Law 123-B-iii in the FIFA Board decisions section- “Players shall not poo on the ball before a free-kick”

    Hello!

    This goal is from Belarus player Artem Kontsevoj (http://www.transfermarkt.de/de/artem-kontsevoj/profil/spieler_44319.html) for team mtz-ripo in Belarus Cup. The video is about 3 years old, but thanks for this anywhere.

    Btw, you can watch also some videos from Russian-side if you can understand (with translater i guess) – http://soccernews.ru/content/video/
