Germany v Sweden: Group F - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Kroos imparted some serious curl on the ball to down Sweden

The holding World Cup Champions have had a World Cup to forget in 2018 after failing to make it past the Group Stage for the first time in their history. Similarly, Toni Kroos would probably want to erase his memories from Russia after failing to conquer the midfield for Germany in their despicable run in the competition.

Although, there might be one that he'll probably want to keep. It came in their only win in the competition, against Sweden. Both teams were locked at a goal each and 90+5 minutes had been played. Germany had a free-kick on the right-hand side of the opposition penalty area.

The angle was too acute to go for goal, surely. Someone forgot to tell Toni Kroos that.

The Real Madrid man rolled the ball to Marco Rues who touched it back for Kroos to whip it into the top corner. The German managed to conjure up some deadly whip on the ball to curl it back inside the far post with the last kick of the game. Inch perfect.
