For example, a team has been granted a right corner. Is there a difference if it is kicked with the right or the left? Which is better/worse?
In this particular situation, I know that if it is kicked with the right it can curl outside of the box; if left, it can curl towards the net.
Which type of kick is easier for a player to head in the net and score?
More information on this is very much appreciated. Thanks.

If its a kick from the right, its better to kick with the right; the ball will go against the net and this is an advantage for the strikers since the ball is going towards them, also its more difficlut for the keeper to get the ball before anyone gets it before.
So its better to kick with the right from the right and with the left from the left.

I know my soccer really well, so I thank I can help...
If you're taking a right corner kick you ideally want a right footed player taking. The reason being is the spin will take it away from the goal, which allows the attacking player that heads the ball to be able to get more strength behind the headed attempt, which in turn gives you a much better chance of scoring. You ideally don't want a left footed player taking a right corner kick because the spin of the ball will take it towards the goal, and when that happens the GK's chances of coming up and snagging the ball increases astronomically. Also when the ball is spinning towards the goal like that the offensive player had much more difficulty getting a solid header on the ball because the velocity is going away from the player that heads it, which means the header can't create as much force and explosion on the ball.
So a right corner you want a right footed kick taker, and with a left corner you want a left footed kick taker.

if you have a right corner kick and a left footed player takes it the kick will be in swinging, or curling towards the goal
If a right footed player kicked it, it would be outswining or curling away from the goal.
Inswingers are probably better because it will be closer to the goal, and goalie may be off footed

No, doesn't make any difference. That's silliness. You can bend the ball both ways kicking it with the right or left foot.And wait for the ball outside the box, in the middle. As soon as the ball is kicked, you should know where is going. Go for it.

The differance is the side you execute the corner and probably the foot you use. It depends on the bend you want to use.
