Bonnissel 37 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The Brazilian season got off to a flying start with a brilliant goal direct from a corner by former Brazil and Real Madrid fullback Roberto Carlos on Sunday.Roberto Carlos scored with what is known in South America as an Olympic goal to help Corinthians beat Portuguesa 2-0 on the opening weekend of the Paulista (Sao Paulo state) championship.The 37-year-old took advantage of a distraction by rival goalkeeper Weverton, who was organising his defence, to curl the ball in off the far post from the corner flag in the 20th minute."That was the first Olympic goal of my career. It took a long time coming, right," a grinning Roberto Carlos told reporters as he was kissed on his bald head by former Brazil team mate Ronaldo.Midfielder Paulinho had opened the scoring in the 12th minute.Striker Ronaldo, who struggled with injuries last year and played less than half Corinthians' matches, is now captain and played until the final minutes in an encouraging performance for the new season.The Brazilian season starts with state championships, the main ones including first divisions sides in Sao Paulo, the Carioca in Rio de Janeiro, the Gaucho in the southern Rio Grande do Sul and Mineiro in Minas Gerais. The national championship kicks off in May.Paulista title contenders Sao Paulo won 2-0 away to Mogi Mirim - who have former FIFA world player of the year Rivaldo as captain and club president.Goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni put Sao Paulo ahead after five minutes with a penalty to increase his world record to 94 goals by a keeper.Title holders Santos beat promoted Linense 4-1 on Saturday with nine reserves, a common tendency when the big teams face their lesser state rivals.South American champions Internacional's reserves lost 1-0 to modest Cruzeiro de Porto Alegre in the Gaucho championship as they prepare their first team to defend the Libertadores Cup starting next month.In the Carioca, which starts next weekend, all eyes will be on Flamengo's Ronaldinho after his recent move from AC Milan although the club said he would not be match fit for another 10 days.http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/17012011/2/roberto-carlos-olympic-goal-lights-brazil-opener.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryh818 7 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Neil McCann tried this with almost every corner he took. Dont know why more players dont try it more often. Aslong as you dont put it over the bar, its going to cause all sorts of havock in the six yard box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,637 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 It's a rule. Corners, throw ins and goal kicks. No offside rule applies.Basically any restart of play whereby the ball has crossed the boundary of the pitch.The no offside from a goal kick is the one everybody seems to not know.i knew of the goal kick one and the throw in one obviouslydidnt know that about the corner thouhg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
