Beckham-Juninho

[Kallikratis]

Welcome TWC football fans. Join my research about who is considered, according to you, to be the best free-kick shooter. As you can see from the title, these gentlemen are the most popular. Awaiting your opinions and don't hesitate to support the player of your choice.

Beckham was awesome, anyone remember the Greece game in some qualifiers? That was one awesome goal...

Why don't you attatch a poll to this?

[Borat]

i guess beckham(you should put more players in your poll)

i remember beckham's goal from half-court....that was a biutty.

[Shaun]

Include more players in the poll, lots of different players can score free kicks now. Personally, I think Shunsuke Nakamura is pretty good at scoring free kicks, anyone see the one past man utd? Edwin van der sarr never even had a chance.

Oh, and Beckham is a has been, he is no longer even in the england squad.

[Fabolous]

Pure free kicks? Beckham still has completely insane placing. Though the poll should probably have an "other" option, Beckham is certainly the choice.

[Halie Satanus]

Umm, which Juninho??. theres a few, and no Henry, Gazza, Baggio, Zico, Cantona, Del piero....ect ect ect...oh and me, i can toe punt a ball after a few pints as well as anyone!!.

I agree though this one was a diamond.

ah i remember that sweetly it was my first weekend in my first year at a welsh uni you can imagine the fun that was. one of my flat mates was so ****** he grabbed hold of the guy next to him and gave him a hug only then did he relaise this guy was massive and in a welsh shirt haha priceless

i do agree though there are more than two free kick takers no most teams national and club havea specialist these days..

[Mr.Plaice]

I vote Juninho! Every time Lyon gets a free kick close to the opponent's area he turns it into a goal. Not only he is a great free kicker, but his passes are exellent. Remeber the recent game between Real Madrid and Lyon, his perfect assist to Fred and that's it! An exellent lob to Castillas :tooth: :tooth: :tooth:

[C19W83]

Though Becks is past his prime, he is still the best. Despite his critics and faults, his free kicks are simply amazing. No one compares.

[Fianóglach]

Beckham, say what you will about him, but I think he is the best place kicker in the world.

[Richard the Lionheart]

Though not necessarily the best in the world, in this case, I would definitely say Beckham.

Juninho

[Mike195]

At the moment Juninho is easily the best free kick taker in the world. Can just remember last year when Real played Lyon in Champions League and he scored an absolute gem

you maen this one (about @ 1' afer the start of the vid) ?

[Hansa]

Believe that Beckham is better just outside the box (20-25 meters), while Juninho is better from more of a distance (25-35 meters), so both or neither.

[Justinian]

Oh my god, that has to be the most amazing shot I've ever seen.

[Sidus Preclarum]

I'm still more impressed by the third goal in the vid. The words "textbook perfection" come to mind...

[Ravenblade]

Juninho Pernambucano...easily the best ive ever seen at taking set pieces. Backham maybe 3-4 years ago but Juninho is getting better and better all the time while Beckham is going downhill abit, can still be great sometimes but the quality isnt just there as much as it used to be. Juninho on the other hand from set pieces either shooting or passing or for his passing in open play has pace, power accurcy and loads of variety

[arthuros]

The best is Roberto Carlos

Good point. Except his free kick ability, his passes are very good. I was wondering why he has not been transfered to a higher team. His abilities should really help the team that gets him.
