It was cleverly worked, with Teun Koopmeiners feinting to curl a free kick into the area only to play it short and deceive the Argentine defence. Weghorst took a touch, held off his marker and slotted home a finish on the stretch. <br \/><span class=\"strong \">SWEDEN\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"strong \">TOMAS BROLIN<\/span><span class=\"strong \"> (VS ROMANIA 1994) <\/span><br \/>Sweden enjoyed a successful tournament at USA \u201894, finishing third. And striker Tomas Brolin produced one of their highlights. After qualifying from a group that also included Brazil, Sweden beat Saudi Arabia in the last 16. There, Brolin finished a wellworked free-kick in a 2-2 draw with Romania. Sweden eventually won on penalties but were beaten in the semifinals by Brazil. <br \/><span class=\"strong \">ARGENTINA\u2019S <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/javier-zanetti\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"strong \" data-ga=\"within_article-topic_link|topic_javier-zanetti\" frmappuse=\"1\">JAVIER ZANETTI<\/a><span class=\"strong \"> (VS ENGLAND, 1998) <\/span><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component _2fQ7a undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Embed-GFX4-1112-\" msid=\"96143957\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-96143957,width-600,resizemode-4\/96143957.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>David Seaman was expecting a Gabriel Batistuta thunderbolt as England played Argentina for a place in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 1998. But as Batistuta ran in, Juan Sebastian Veron rolled a pass into the box, where Javier Zanetti appeared from behind the wall to shoot past Seaman. England had been caught out by the perfectly planned routine. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">BULGARIA\u2019S DINKO DERMENDZHIEV (VS PERU, 1970) <\/span><br \/>In the first game of the group stage (13th minute), just outside the box, a bit to the keeper\u2019s right, Dermendzhiev darted to the left, around a wall of four defenders. From the right came another Bulgarian, who received the free-kick pass and flicked it back behind the wall, onto the foot of Dermendzhiev, who chipped it home. <br \/><span class=\"strong\">BRAZIL\u2019S RONALDINHO (VS ENG, 2002) <\/span><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component _2fQ7a undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Embed-GFX3-1112-\" msid=\"96143919\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-96143919,width-600,resizemode-4\/96143919.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It has been debated ever since Ronaldinho, over 35 yards out and wide on the right, sent a free-kick spinning over a floundering, unprepared David Seaman in 2002 &#8212; Was it meant to be a pass? The Brazilian says he went for goal. England, of course, disagree. The wrong-footed England goalkeeper could only watch as the ball curled into the top-left corner. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n                      };\n                      if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                      n.push = n;\n                      n.loaded = !0;\n                      n.version = '2.0';\n                      n.queue = [];\n                      t = b.createElement(e);\n                      t.async = !0;\n                      t.src = v;\n                      s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                      s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n                    })(f, b, e, v, n, t, s);\n                    fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n                    fbq('track', 'PageView');\n                  };\n                })(\n                  window,\n                  document,\n                  'script',\n                  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js',\n                );<\/script><script>if(typeof window !== 'undefined') {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadScriptsOnceAdsReady = () => {\n                    var scripts = [\n                    'https:\/\/static.clmbtech.com\/ad\/commons\/js\/2658\/toi\/colombia_v2.js' ,\n                    'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074',\n                    'https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/sdkloader\/ima3.js',\n                    'https:\/\/tvid.in\/sdk\/loader.js',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/video_comscore_api\/version-3.cms',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/grxpushnotification_js\/minify-1,version-1.cms',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#version=v10.0&xfbml=true',\n                    'https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/locateservice_js\/minify-1,version-14.cms'\n                  ];\n                    scripts.forEach(function(url) {\n                      let script = document.createElement('script');\n                      script.type=\"text\/javascript\";\n                      if(!false && !false && !false && url.indexOf('colombia_v2')!== -1){\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (!false && !false && !false && url.indexOf('sdkloader')!== -1) {\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (!false && !false && (url.indexOf('tvid.in\/sdk') !== -1 || url.indexOf('connect.facebook.net') !== -1 || url.indexOf('locateservice_js') !== -1 )) {\n                        script.src = url;\n                      } else if (url.indexOf('colombia_v2')== -1 && url.indexOf('sdkloader')== -1 && url.indexOf('tvid.in\/sdk')== -1 && url.indexOf('connect.facebook.net') == -1){\n                        script.src = url;\n                      }\n                      script.async = true;\n                      document.body.appendChild(script);\n                    });\n                  }\n                }\n                <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/football\/fifa-world-cup-2022\/fifa-world-cup-free-kicks-that-fooled-opponents\/articleshow\/96143840.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Dutch midfielder Koopmeiners chose the last minute of a World Cup quarterfinal to produce an imaginative free-kick as he combined with Weghorst for a brilliantly-executed goal.
