== == == == To curve a soccer ball, you have to approach the ball at an angle, while placing your planting foot (the left, if you're right-footed, or vice-versa) facing the target. When you kick, kick with your big toe or instep and the ball will spin. Combining this with a well-placed loft and power will make it curve. David Beckham has been playing for 15+ years and his beautiful curves are due to his amazing skills with a dead ball (direct/indirect free kick, penalty shot, etc.). He has a kick, dubbed "the Beckham" in which he lifts the ball over the "wall," sends it towards the far post, but bends it back to the near post. This confuses the goaltender and the ball just dips under the bar for the goal.

you kick the ball on the bottom side with the upper inside of your shoe

for a ball to curve right you hit it on the bottom left and follow through to the left and to make it curve left you kick it on the bottom right and follow through towards the outside. Adidas also claims that with their cleat, the predator powerswerve, you can curve the ball better

Bending a soccer ballWell in order to bend a soccer ball you need to have your planting foot at a slight angle away from your target. You will run up to the ball and swing your kicking foot onto the outside of the ball. Make sure you strike the ball with the inside of your big toe, and the more you lean back the higher the shot will go. Good Luck!

Well that depends on what type of bend you want (and this will be for right footers)

Inside: If you want an inside bend, the way Nakamura does it, you need to kick the ball like your passing it... sorta. Do not hit the ball with your instep (the inside part of your foot about half way up your foot to your toe) but square in the center of the inside of your foot. As you do this swing your leg to the left.

OutsideL If you want an outside bend, the way Roberto Carlos does it, is with an inside out shot. With this you gotta go really fast. Hit the ball as you usually would, with the instep, but before the ball leaves you need to have followed through enough so that the last place of your foot the ball touches is the outside of your foot. So try to slice the ball so that your foot starts hitting the ball with the inside and ends hitting with the outisde.

Hope that's not too complicated :)

To curve it right to left, hit the ball with the inside of your foot on the bottom right hand side of the ball.

To curve the ball left to right, hit the ball with the outside of your foot, on the bottom left of the ball.

Yes that's correct,but if you want more power hit it with the tip of your foot.

To curve a soccer ball you need to kick the ball on the right side towards the bottom of the ball. The follow through is judt as important. Kick the ball the follow through pulling your leg over the ball ur foot should touch ur left knee:)
