Shooting is probably the most important part of the game, yet its amazing how many world-class professionals regularly kick the ball 5 feet wide of or over the goals.

Every player other than defenders, should, in my opinion, be able to put at least 80% of his shots on goal per game.

The first time shot is good for fowards. From short range, and more than anything else, about placement.

if you have time you can set yourself up before slamming it in.

Once you´ve gotten short-range shooting down then you can go for long-range. You usually have more time to set yourself up as the keeper won´t be expecting something from that far out.

Another thing, which doesn´t happen often, is to catch the keeper while he´s asleep, in a rare lapse.

Curving it with the instep to fool the keeper usually works best on freekicks.

but it can also be done from the corner of the box and works just as well.

Also on free kicks, you can dip it over the wall, and have it come down as it reaches the goal to fool the keeper.

This is the sweetest shot ever, bending it with the outstep, and easily the most difficult, I still haven´t gotten in down yet even with tons of practice.

The most practical for a game situation, however, is to shoot suddenly while running full speed at the defense.

All those were great shots, but in my opinion the shots that are hit so hard that the ball bends downwards are the hardest to block and the coolest looking.
