re: Right now, who is the best free kick taker in the world?

The Erikson goal is sick but you see goals as good or better than that somewhere in the world every weekend. Hell, the Jozy FK against Bos-Herz was damn near has impressive as Erikson's.

You can't call him the best FK taker in the world right now just because he's been playing really well and has scored a few sick goals from dead ball situations. Ronaldo/Bale/Messi/Pirlo, there's too many more to name that you would prefer taking a FK than him. Good arse player though, I really enjoy watching him.
