if you ge the chance to watch the goals of wesley sneider, they all seem to be from far away, pretty good strength, and perfectly placed with either foot.
so my vote goes to wesley sneijder of ajax.

Clarence Seedorf -- has been known to put one in from distance on occasion.
How about David Beckham -- Heck, I'd rather have him take a free kick from 30 yds. out than a PK these days!

Milan are lucky enough to have three players you could consider long distance shooting specialists. Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf, and Kaka.
Steven Gerrard
Frank Lampard
Wesley Sneider
Francesco Totti
Galasek (Ajax)
Michael Tarnat
Thomas Hitzelsperger
Pavel Nedved
There are a lot. I'd say Kaka though, because he scores from distance with such ease and grace. Check out the goals he scored versus Empoli, Celta Vigo, and Deportivo this year.

Easily Pavel Nedved. He's been doing it for years now and everyone knows he has to be closed down or else!
Kaka would be 2nd right about now, but has to prove he can do 'it' every season, time and again like Nedved has for such a period of time

Nedved. It doesn't matter where he is on the field he always gets his shot on target.

Hitzlsperger....He isn't called the Hammer for nothing.
Maniche? I've only seen him score once like that.

Nedved and Totti 100%
Seedorf from time to time.
Totti and Nedved always try for target from far out, atleast once or twice a game.

Got to go with Wesley Sneijder, man he can hit the ball. He is really deadly for a lot of reasons, but this is a great area of his game. Makes defenses worry about him passing up to Ibrahimovic or cranking it from way out.

nedved. i forgot who it was against, but all he did was receive, turn and shoot it into the upper right corner from a pretty good distance. that goal really impressed me.

Two years ago I'd have said Sinisa Mijahlovic, who had an awesome shot from free kicks or from play (when he went up the flanks).
Now its Nedved.

El Riflo was amazing, I think he holds the record for goals from freekicks or goals for a defender..
that said, Nedved , for EITHER foot.
Ronaldinho is overlooked for his long distance shots.
kaka can dream
