Free Kicks

Juninho - the greatest free kick taker in history.

He's better

Well it's prolly between Juninho and Beckham, Juninho scored more (against weaker opposition also tho) but Beckham has even more quality in his FK's if you ask me.

Weaker oposition? I think the only thing that doesn't matter about FKs is the opposition. I imagine it's equally as hard to score FKs against Real Madrid and Saint-Étienne.

Well you get more as a team + weaker GK's, ive seen some going in that couldve been saved by a bit better GK , especially those at longer distances

I believe you mean

But in all seriousness, it's hard for me to pick between Juninho and Beckham, but I'd probably have to give it to Juninho because he just gets so much less recognition here in the states.

Roberto Carlos anyone xD ?

He was really wasteful and I think the only reason he is mentioned is because of that one great kick against France.

Haha kinda, but he did inspired the techniques of Cristiano Ronaldo and Juninho, well that's what i've heard on Fox luls.

Juninho was a good free kick taker but overall, Roberto Carlos' freekick against France tops all of Juninho's freekicks.

[Milan 17,835]

Juninho definitely the best fk taker.

I remember watching this one live and when he hit it, I thought that must be going over and boy how did that end...

There are better free kick takers throughout the years, but Juninho is certainly one of the best...

You've got to appreciate that while the Ligue 1 isn't the greatest league, Juniho was playing in the Champions League every season. And that means he played Europe's top clubs and has scored against them. Beyrn Munchen and Barcelona come to mind.

Ronaldo when he gets it right has an immense free kick on him. He's very wasteful though:

Still one of the best free kicks ever IMO.

Who?

[Rmpr 8,977]

Zico, Ademir da Guia, Nelinho, Marcos Assunção, Neto, etc...

Uhm yeh.. so? Where do i not rate Juninho?

I just said the amount of freekicks he has gotten was prolly more than beckham had in his time + the oposition GK's weren't that good as those in PL, primera division.
