those who played football regulary will tell you with confidence that they can do that too, you believe?Actually its nothing much, its brillant only becoz its far.
Its really not that diffcult to curl a ball into an empty net.

DAVID VILLA scored a Thriller on the first anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.
Spain's King of Shots stunned impressive Chile with a 40-yard lob for the most spectacular goal of the World Cup so far.
It set the tournament favourites on the way to topping Group H and a last-16 date with neighbours Portugal on Tuesday in Cape Town.
But the stylish Spanish display and a cracking match was tainted by shameful playacting from Fernando Torres.
The Liverpool striker made a dreadful meal of a light clip on the back of his heel by Chile's Marco Estrada and got the midfielder sent off.
The win means Spain neatly sidestep Brazil in their next match as their quest to become European and world champions gathers pace.
Both teams raced out of the blocks like sprinters after hearing the starter's gun.
Torres went close with two chances in the first six minutes while Chile threatened through former Liverpool man Mark Gonzalez and Estrada.
The breakthrough came after 24 minutes when Torres chased down a long ball from Xabi Alonso.
Chile keeper Claudio Bravo raced out of his box to clear. But he failed to put the ball into touch and Villa, lurking on the wing, curled a beautiful left-foot shot over the keeper and into the net.
Torres also had a hand in Spain's second on 37 minutes.
The Liverpool man produced a neat backward pass at pace to allow Barcelona's Andres Iniesta to play a one-two with Villa and bury a second goal.
But as Iniesta netted, Torres went down under Estrada's tackle and lay prone for several minutes while the Chilean got a second yellow card.
Chile still did not give up and in the 47th minute heaped pressure on Spain when sub Rodrigo Millar netted with a deflected shot.
Spain boss Vicente Del Bosque refuses to believe his side have the easy option facing Portugal in the last 16 instead of Brazil.
He said: "Anyone who watched that earlier match saw how Portugal controlled Brazil, and had excellent counter-attacking opportunities.
"I think we've overcome a very difficult time for Spain. We were very disturbed emotionally by that defeat to Switzerland but we are more optimistic now."
