14.30 is what u come for
His problem is his lack of balance. He's out of control at the point of kicking it. His sprinting on his run up. You only need that when you're lacing it with little accuracy. All he needs is enough momentum and a slow 3 step run up is enough. He needs to use his opposite arm to control his body
I guess I can score at least two
If these guys are pro in the MLS I could've gone pro as well.
Let’s go Cali!!
The wall doesnt even jump, most of them are scared
I love how you guys are calling Americans so bad when we could crush ur asses in any other sport.
Under the wall?
All these foreigners talking smack. Of course your 12 year old cousin in Uruguay or Poland would embarrass this guy. Most of the world is an average soccer player because you grow up with it. In America that is not the case. I'd like to see an average European take on a DI basketball player or an average South American try to tackle a DI running back.
11 kicks – 1 for every player on the field? Hmmmmmmmmm.
IT IS CALLED FOOTBALL !!!!!!!!!!
Man this guy is below an average Brazilian. And one guy of the wall didn' t jump. In real world when you are in the wall it is must put forearm in front of your face, to protect yourself and jump higher. The judge won't penalize you.
Me as a 12 yr old European. (Sits here thinking about how I was scoring CR7 worthy goals at 6 and this guy barely can take a free kick
Im 11 and my leg is probably stronger than an average adult
Average !? Thats quite confident..
can we talk about that goalkeeper lol hes either terrible or he just let that in
A real wall would jump…
Why are you trying to kick the ball like they do in American football? You're supposed to finesse the ball into the goal not shoot it into orbit..
No one:
Not a soul:
Europeans: iT's caLleD foOtbAlL
Most of Portugal ten years olds are better at scoring a free kick then the average American
Ubung macht die meister
goalkeepers in the MLS dont know what diving is…….. Try it again with a european player and goalie
The title says average guy not average football player, so lets not be too rough.
Is that ring if so then TORILLA TAVATAAN
What an embarassing video. The wall even ducked.
No wonder the US is a different world.
When u called it soccer then its not a PRO.
Why is Jim there and not in Scranton?
This whole comment section is European kids gatekeeping
Ny is blue!!! Come on City!!!
GK never even dove.
Football or “soccer” for those on the spectrum. Joking lol. Is played constantly and daily in Europe.. no other sport is any where close to popular every single opportunity we got in England after school or on weekends whether it was with our clubs or even free time was just non stop football. Even just 2 friends taking turns in goal and shooting all day till it gets dark.. so most young boys in England can take a decent free kick by the age of 12 years old without fail.
