my vote goes to the canon ball kid ROBERTO CARLOS

I also vote for Carlos, closely followed by Scholes

its betweek rc and seedorf....that goal seedorf scored when he was at real was a bullet!

Although it was fast, and i'm not trying to take away anything from Clarence, that 'shot' was pretty much a completely botched long ball/cross.

R. Carlos is the obvious. Seedorf is close. Tarnat is another.

i can't think of anymore right now.

Carlos

his thigh is the size of my thighs put together

Have you even seen Seedorf's goal at Real Madird> It wzas not a long ball. It was from halway. He took a running ball and the bell just kept going straight. It didn't dip down like a cross.

I vote for Roberto Carlos. His shots are very strong, and he can make them curve around any wall. That is why he has one of the best free kicks.

It is a well known fact that Roberto Carlos has the hardest shot in the world and it was proven a few years back. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink came in second with the hard right footed shot he posseses...

My choice is Carlos, and Totti is 2nd, his freekicks have a lot of venom on it.

Roberto Carlos

Roberto Carlos closley followed by paul scholes.

Roberto Carlos for sure.Gerrard has a powerful shot too...

Too bad Carlos' shots are rarely on target.

Cissé gets my vote.

Roberto Carlos goes over 130 km/hr!!! he gets my vote.

It was a botched cross. He was more aimed to the two runners to the left then the goal. There was no follow through either, which is something you practically always expect when a player takes a shot, especially when attempting a long blast.

I think the fastest shot ever measured was Hasselbainks, and it was 93 mph. Carlos gets a lot of hype, but the statistics tell the truth.

Totti closley followed by Roberto Carlos and Geremi...

seedorf has, just check out dis goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm new and I think R.Carlos has the most powerfull shot in the world but it becomes weaker and weaker.
Today , I think Nedved has a good one (against The Netherlands for example ; Euro 2004)

Good first post.

Hmm..

I'm Dutchman and I've never seen that goal. Actually, I've never seen such a goal in my entire life. My respect for Seedorf has increased with 20%, so it's 30% now.

My respect for him when I saw that goal, went from a 30% to 40%. Then I learned he fcuked Ronaldo's wife and it went up to 80%

OK, well he will never reach 80% with me. There are limits !!

The fastest shot was not by Hasselbank, and it was not 93 mph. Beckham and Carlos routinely hit shots above 100 mph. I believe the fastest recorded was 113 mph, although I'm not sure who did it. Also, Carlos doesn't put directional curve on his shots; the technique he uses makes the ball knuckle. It curves because of the friction caused by wind on the ball.

kool i deont really get it but its kool

If you saw Seedorf play live and score a goal from the midfield (the ball went straight it didnt go up then down) then you would understand why im voting for him.

on a continual basis, there is no deadlier more accurate fast, hard shot then scholes. I would love to say shearer, but scholes wins it. Carlos has pace, but more of his glory comes from teh bend on the shot.


Scholes all teh way for this one lads.

read recently on the guiness book of records that th fastest shot recorded was back in 1994/95 by a Leicester City player. can't remeber who, though..sorry

Has for seedorf's goal, powerful as it may have been (and it was...), if you see it from the camera that was behind the goal, the keeper flunked it, since he ran to his right, only to realise it was actually going to where he (the keepr) originally was

on today's players, I'd have to say bobby carlos is the most consistent one (at least that's my opinion)

I remember seing his left foot on some magazine on tv.....nails all broken and bruised...he really does massacre those toes

scholes may not have (in my opinion) such power, but he does definitely get my vote for best shot from outside the box...

i think van bronkhurst (not sure about the spelling) used to have a pretty wild shot. i remember watching him years ago against united in the cl and he was unleashing them from everywhere.

seedorf has a very consistent shot. At euro, he had some great, hard shots that didn't dip. He was unlucky in hitting the post and barely missing the goal.

Roberto Carlos.

One of the easiest polls too decide...Roberto Carlos!!!

I have to give it up to Scholes. He can hit a consistently hard and accurate shot without that great of a wind-up.

da goal that seedorf score was jus a bullet but r. carlos will get my vote cuz he could curve da ball well

my vote for the powerful shot goes to roberto carlos

gotta be carlos

check the guinness book of world records, it's some spanish dude who has the record for the fastest shot ever.

For sure R.Carlos has the most powerfull shot. I'd put Totti in 2nd position but don't forget players like Nakata, Cissé or Okocha...

seedorf is a total freak when it comes to seeing his goal the bullet

roberto carlos, followed by laurent robert

I can't believe Ballack isn't in here. He has a rocket shot.

i agree...and adriano...he clocked 139 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in the game this week vs Palermo...wow...this guy is great

Eusebio keepers were scarred of him.

I'm not sure, I just read that in an old Brian Glanville article, so I may be mistaken.

in my opinion the player with the most pwerful shot is roberto carlos but of all time i heard it is the italiann legend rosso ,it was said he once broke a fans hand from one of his shots.

When I was in 7th grade a classmate broke the goalkeepers hand with a shot. Its not that hard to do.

r. carlos certainly has got a very powrfull shot, but it´s almost allways off-target; that´s why i would vot for pavel nedved, if hi only had been on the list; and if i remember correctly, gabriel batistuta had an killer-shot, not shure about it´s condition today, though

adriano has a very powerful shot considering his age, but carlos is 1st

Too right. I was in goal a few months ago at footy trainin. My wrist was broken due to an average shot. Shit it hurt!!!

I don't know for sure but for me.

from the list it's tie for Roberto Carlos and Seedorf imo.

But players like Rockhamback and Mancihe has powerful shots as well. ( should of seen Maniche's goal against Braga. So far out )
