This is some kind of photoshopping/trick videography, right? Because if this guy can actually do this stuff, someone needs to sign him...yesterday.

I don't know enough about video editing to start critiquing, but my lord. if this is real... wow

That last kick is almost theoretically impossible.

If you search YouTube, there are plenty of videos like this involving all kinds of sports. From what I have read in the comments, most people believe most of the videos are fake or parts of the videos are fake. Personally I feel when the ball goes off the screen it has a higher chance of being faked somehow. The kid obviously has some soccer skills, with the way he can curve his kicks. I tend not to believe only a few of those kicks, such as the last one. I think if you did that 1,000 times, you would maybe do that 1 time. The video is pretty sweet though. Go check out the basketball ones like that.

ya, there are plenty of the videos like that... I remember a long-snapper video much like this. Plenty of basketball videos... I am kind of the same mindset gkautz10 has. If the ball leaves the screen, high possibility of it being fake, but this guy definitely has some kicking skills and can bend the ball.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with Gaelic football or Aussie Rule football, but the whole sport is based on punting into the arm of your teammate and between pipes for long distances. There have been NFL punters from Australia before. These guys are insane kickers.
