If it had been crossed with the right foot, I promise you, James doesn't get to it. I never thought about this until 2 seasons ago when Van Dyke, yelled to one of his players to take a free kick left footed from the wide right about 25 yards out. Van Dyke promptly scored. I think its got something to do with having to turn towards goal to defend it.
    Nailed on.

    Defenders don't like to correct their approach to the ball when moving towards their own goal.

    Inswinging balls hit towards the far post are a great weapon when mixed in with slow defenders and nimble (and wily) attackers.
