The Story of the Free Kick Freak

The Story of the Free Kick Freak

Cristiano Ronaldo is the definition of a ‘triple threat’. He can’t act, sing or dance, but dammit he can shoot, dribble and pass! He also has a freakish knack for free kicks; the best I’ve ever witnessed. Love him or loathe him (England stand up?) you can’t deny his abilities. His list of accomplishments sound…
