Thing is , he only really started really taking them at a couple of years ago.

Anyway, Marcelinho was better than him in free kicks.

 

What about Eder?

 

Eder was different style.

Eder is more of the fierce bomb that bends in the air, just like Branco used to do also.

Juninho places the ball, therefore you hae to compare him with teh style of Zico & Marcelinho.

Eder you compare to Roberto Carlos. Well, let's not go that way, otherwise you will insult Eder....... specially because it was Eder that started teaching Roberto Carlos to take free kicks...... pity that he din't pay so much attention in his classes..... if he did his goal rate would have increased tremendously.


Anyway, today the best brazilian free kick taker is the goalie Rogerio Ceni from Sao Paulo.

 

Eder once shot a ball so hard it went 182km/h.

That shot is the fastest shot in the history of Football.

He is one of my all time favorite Brazilian players,actualy the whole 1982 team was brilliant(Zico,Socrates,Falcao.....)and they deserved to win the World Cup,maybe if Careca didn't get injured they would have won it.

 

Rogério Ceni is better than Juninho Pernambucano.

Zico was, of course, great too.

 

As of now I think Juninho is N1 in free kicks. Do you guys have that 182km shot video?

182 :eekani:

 

..at least of this decade.

Hail Juninho Pernambucano! :star:

A shame he will sit on bench next World Cup :dazed:

He will?

Brazil's midfield looks like this..

----Juninho--Emerson----

Kaká-----------Ronaldinho

 

has he over-taken Beckham then ?

 

Sinisa Mihajlovic was the best FK taker of the last decade by far, hands down.

Whoever followed Lazio around 1998-2001 will agree with me.

For the Brazilian dudes: I know it's hard to assimilate it, but there's football outside of Brazil

 

Juninho is and always the best Freekicker, and even the Brazilian Goalkeeper ROGERIO is good

Last time I checked, Lyon has been an European club :howler:

 

rogerio's a bit special at free-kicks i've heard

 

No. Juninho is not the best freekick taker, but he is the cleverest. He admitted on television that when he takes his freekick's especially the low one's he makes it bounce akwardly in the hope of getting a deflection.

Tends to happen quite often.

 

He most obviously is ... I couldn't think of a player whose freekicks were such predictable goals since Platini probably. :star:

 

has he over-taken Beckham then ?

Noway. Becks > Garrincha. :angel:

 

Specially I liked when he scored at Real Madrid in the Champions League this season! roud:

 

currently Juninho is the best fo sho!

 

Wait a minute ... For the sake of comparisons

Noway. Becks > Garrincha. :angel:

Nah, In context to 'free-kicks' .... Becks > Rivelino


:tongue:

 

Also in terms of wingers:stuckup: :tongue:

 

Hmm ... Maybe

Also in terms of wingers:stuckup: :tongue:

I was just being contextual

But you could be right :tongue:

 

was Maradona as good as Beckham at free-kicks ?

Should I set up a poll? :devil:

 

Should I set up a poll? :devil:

how about, Beckham V Maradona V Eder V Garrincha V Cruyff ?

 

how about, Beckham V Maradona V Eder V Garrincha V Cruyff ?

You just insulted David by throwing him in with that lot. :depress:
