    Juninho, Beckham, Nakamura? All quality free-kick takers, but which one is the best and most consistent free-kick goalscorer at the moment. I've seen great freekicks from Juninho, but i definently remember Beckham's (and Nakamura's :( )But who would you say is the current freekick giant?

    Right now probably the one that remains consistant is ronaldinho and Juninho in my opinon but then again I only watch certain leagues. I'm sure there is some free giants in Central and South America.

    Juninho for shooting on goal, Andrea Pirlo for delivery/service.

    No doubt, Juninho Pernambucano.

    not lately. He hasn't scored on a free kick in months. He's better at free kicks where he has to find someone's head.

    Right now it's Ronaldinho.
    But if you are talking about active players, it's Juninho.

    As far as defenders are concerned Bordon and Naldo are fantastic from long range.

    Juninho but when Robin Van Persie's go in they look something special, the power & swerve he puts on the ball is amazing

    It's got to be Juninho, though Ronaldinho is also excellent. Other great names are Assunçao, Riquelme and Viqueira, though I think that Pernanbucano is still n1.

    Oh god, it's another of those 'edited' videos with writing and crap everywhere. After about 15 seconds of text I gave up and closed it.

    I prefer this one with Freddy Mercury:

    Juninho is maybe not the best free-kick taker in the world considering the stats only (38 direct shoots). But he has a special ability due to the morphology of his feet. He's able to make the ball fall just at the last moment. That disturbs the goalkeeper. He has not many choices but simply boxing it as Casillas did during the last Lyon-Madrid confrontation.

    Thank you for the video clip. Woa, he is just amazing... Beckham and Nakamura are both old and they only score on a few occasions
