This thread has too little Alvaro Recoba.

Messi isn't the best at the moment, if we are talking about top-football, Pirlo, Sneijder, Ibra are the first coming in my minds.

Lolwut? Messi has scored more freekicks in his last 19 games, than Ibra in his last 4 seasons.

looool... messi scored more from fk than ibra??? Even last night ibra scored from fk more spectecular... And Ibra's long shots are the best in the game by far, no one scores outside the box more than him
and pirlo scored 3 in 7 matches this season, all from free kicks...

Ronaldo is still the best from long range IMO. From 30-35m he can be deadly.

Yes, Ibra has scored, including yesterday, 3 freekicks in last four seasons, the same as Messi in last 10 games. Hardly a comparison. And I thought this was about freekicks, not long shots?

Does anyone know how many free kicks Leighton Baines has scored? honestly he seems like one of the best specialists around to me

by Ganso Wed Sep 25, 2013 1:40 am

Yaya has been ridiculous

by DuringTheWar Wed Sep 25, 2013 2:25 am

btw this is why I updated the thread for baines

two free kicks in one game, that second :bow:

love a free kick that goes in off the post right under the crossbar, don't get much more accurate than that

by McAgger Wed Sep 25, 2013 3:45 am

Juninho is the greatest without a single doubt.

I'd go with Beckham and Mihajlovic after that.

That second Baines freekick was an absolute beaut

by DuringTheWar Wed Sep 25, 2013 4:12 am

juninho didn't score much more than maradona tbh

by Pip Wed Sep 25, 2013 4:25 am

The best I have seen play:

1. Zico
2. Diego Maradona
3. Michel Platini
4. Juninho
5. Siniša Mihajlovič

Really? He scored 78 goals from free kicks in official games I read on wiki. I know Maradona scored a lot but close to 78?

by DuringTheWar Wed Sep 25, 2013 11:27 pm

Im afraid I don't know how many he scored. I know he scored throughout his career, right from a young age, which is the secret to scoring lots of free kicks, you have to be consistent throughout your career and maradona was, even since a teenager, so its not difficult to believe that he had something similar to 78. In 1988, if i recall correctly maradona scored 14 free kicks in that year alone for club and country, though i don't remember for absolute sure now

by Fuchsteufelswild Thu Sep 26, 2013 6:32 am

Schweinsteiger has been awesome at them since last season. Scored a few and he's always close even when he misses. Hit the bar and post quite a few times.
