    Pirlo, Beckham, & Juninho are the best IMO.

    Followed by C Ronaldo, Del Piero, Dinho, Totti & some others.

    There is no one like Mihajlovic!

    I am not a big fan, but what a fk specialist!! It would go in more times than not - long distance and short!! Just amazing - I believe he holds the record of highest number of fk's scored in Serie A - something like 40!

    That argument doesn't stand up when he's scored the most free kicks out of probably anyone this season.

    He still isnt there yet, but in time......

    I think Beckham is a tad overrated, as far as direct freekicks go, he's scored a few in his time, but his goals/fk's ratio is hardly anything special.

    However he's delivery for set pieces ok

    Werder lack someone who is consistently good at them. Diego is pretty good, but not really consistent.

    Pander is the best in the Bundesliga when it comes to free kicks, Schneider is good at them also. Not that many specialists though.

    Pander is one of the most consistent I know, too often injured though.

    Cannot believe no one (myself included) has mentioned Ashley Young Doh

    He is AWESOME.


    Ben Watson and Nicky Shorey are very good if we're talking about delivering them for others rather than just scoring.

    Perhaps... but there are very few players you almost expect to score everytime they take a fk... very very few inspire that level of confidence.... to me, these only include Pirlo, Becks, and Juninho.

    Btw. I agree with you, Ballack is pretty good at them also. Chelsea should let him take the free kicks more often.

    Downings good at the ones where he's putting them in the box for someone else...his efforts at goal are hit and miss. He's scored a couple this season from free kicks I think.
