There were loads from England tonight, but throughout the tournament even good players from decent teams having been doing this regularly too. I'm sure the ball is designed to move all over from free kicks, and I wonder if it has any bearing. Also loads of corners and free kicks that don't beat the first man (again not limited to to England).

They've being doing it all through the tournament . Free kicks into the box regularly sailed over so high up they must have been in the jet stream to go out at the far post.

So stop shooting from so far out then?

Didn't really affect Gareth Bale though.
