Freakish Free Kicks . . .

• Comments (0)

This week's paper has had a look at a selection of set-pieces that stunned soccer supporters.

I mean, we just had to after Christiano Ronaldo's free-kick against Pompey.It was one of those moments that just prompted me to text mates simply to ask "Did you just see THAT?!"

It was special - but it won't be the first or the last time we'll all sit open-mouthed at a bit of brilliance or bewilderment with the ball.

Here's Inside Sport's pick (with thanks to You Tube) -

Roberto Carlos v France 1997

Ernie Hunt v Everton 1970

Thierry Henry v Chelsea 2004 - a few goals in.

Paul Robinson v Watford 2007 - although you have to wait and watch some of the highlights of England blowing it in Croatia first.

Ronaldinho v England 2002

Joe Calzaghe has cemented his place as the greatest boxer in British history with an unanimous points win over WBA and WBC super-middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler.

Super Joe edged an absorbing contest which had the 50,000 fans at the Millennium Stadium on the edge of their seats.

Enzo Maccarinelli had set the tone for pal Joe Calzaghe by knocking out opponent Mohamed Azzaoui in the fourth round of his WBO Cruiserweight title defence.

Coming 58 seconds into the fourth, it was the Swansea man's 21st KO of his career and a comfortable win for the 27-year-old.

It was a good night for the rest of the Welsh fighters on show too.

Harry Miles saw off Mark Phillips in an entertaining opening bout.

Nathan Cleverly endured the toughest fight of his fledgling career so far with a points decision victory over Joey Vegas.

And Kerry Hope took a four-round decision against Ernie Smith..

Keep an eye for Pete Shuttleworth's report - the first and the best from the late,late action in Cardiff.

Well Done Joe! Truly, the pride of Wales.
