My votes go as follows:

1. Mihalovic
2. Rivaldo
3. Beckham
4. DelPiero
5. Roberto Carlos

Who are on your list ?

the best one it david beckham... no doubt about it!

david beckham is the best free kick taker
he is the best in all dead ball situations

coa - your objectivity is compelling ;-) Give
Becks a little credit though. When Fioretina
recently offered Man United £35 Million for
Beckham, they did so at the behest of Gabriel Batsituta who said, "He is the best crosser in the world today, with him I would easily score 10 more goals this year. Do whatever is needed to sign him". I think he is the thrid best at Free Kicks behind Mihajlovic and Rivaldo.

raoul i agree with you that he is the best crosser, but he is not the best free kick taker or corner taker. that's why i was pissed off

I've gotta go with Ramuel on this one, although I haven't seen Miahlovic that often. But being a keen Premier league follower I can definitely say beckham is brilliant, everytime he lines up a freekick opposing teams sweat. Just look at the one he took in the world cup, and the one more recently in the charity shield. Manninger is a great keeper, but even at full stretch couldn't keep it out.

which club does mihalovic play for currently?

mihajlovic plays for lazio now. last year he once scored 2 times from the free kick in one game. has anyone else done this ever befoe. ???

zivela srbija, nikad jugoslavija

The best free kick tackers are:
1. Oleg Veretennikov (Rotor) you haven't seen his shots but they are really great
2.S.Mihailovich
3.R.Carlos
4.Rivaldo
5.D.Beckham

1. Chris Zoracich
2. Piere Van Hooijdonk
3. David Beckham
4. Ivan Vicelich
5. Nathan Rule

O don't put them in order because I really don't know who's the best. Here are what I think , the best free-kick takers in the world.

Beckham , S. Mihaijlovic(Lazio) ,
Del Piero , Rivaldo , van Hooijdonk.

Some other good free kick-takers:

Giggs , Hasselbaink , Roberto-Carlos , Zinedine Zidane , Nilis , van Gastel.

Rabieluh

Robeto Carlos, Beckham, Del Piero

Del Piero , Ian HArte , Beckham , Roberto Carlos

No...I went to the last page on forum, and I didn't know how old it was :D :D
DUH!:D :p

If you keep reviving topics Joe will find some way to ban you. You have a record with him.

He doesn't have to find way cuz he can do it in probably about....15 seconds. What's wrong with bringing up this thread? It's still actual

i got bored and went to the last page and thought that this was interesting so i will post my thoughts... i think assuncao or however you spell it from Roma is one of the best free kick takers... haha this has been brought up twice :D:monkey:

another very very old thread popping up again... :eek:

I must say that Beckham is the best overall at dead ball situations, but when it comes to free kicks, I think that Roberto Carlos' left foot is a killer

David Beckham without a doubt, I think he has already scored about 5 0r 6 freekicks this season, and he hasn't even been playing that much, And he is good in all other dead ball situations.

What kind of a stupid question is that??? DAVID BECKHAM!!!!!!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!:p :mad: :crazyboy:

Beckham is the best in my view but two other names that haven't came up yet are Gianfranco Zola and Ian Harte

David ****ing Beckham

There are many footballers that are quite good in deadball situations. But come on Beckham this Beckham that...cut that ****in **** off!
I admit it he's probably the best now but there are so many other freekick takers that are just as good but not as "advertised"
I think roberto carlos is garbage in freekicks...justc ause he hits the darn ball with over 80mph does not make him a good freekick taker...he has about 15% or less acuracy! The records point to Mihaijlovici as being the best, no one scored more than him from dead ball situations. Zidane is pretty good as well and so is Del Piero. In his playing days so was Hagi. I also think Ryan Giggs is pretty good in freekick although he doesn't really get a chance to take any...and MEHMET SHOLL...no one mentioned him, he is fantastic. Small guy but sends the ball with such power and accuracy.

I know some wise arse is gonna say! "but how about that france 98 freekick with Carlos" well ok that was amazing...but you know ONE IN A MILLION!!!
We're talking about accuracy and results here...

only the best for Bogdan :-S

Beckham is overhyped........

if he did'nt even do that , then no one would even know of him...........

coz he can't head the ball

he can't defend for toffee

he's not a consistent goalscorer

he can't dribble

he's not fast enough

...........so....he better be good at Freekicks....

Thierry Henry , Del Piero , Shevchenko , Recoba , Totti , Roberto Carlos , Zidane , Rivaldo etc etc can take some DARN good freekicks and can either defend well , be great playmakers or score goals on a regualar basis.......

:o
