After last night's special...which one stands out for you?
This one is probably my favourite for a number of reasons

Best free-kicks you’ve ever seen
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Not much of a wall, but I love the power and swerve on that. The camera angles from behind the ball and goal are great.
Extra points for the celebration.
That Ronaldo one against Portsmouth is the stand-out free kick for me. It's the first one I think of when anyone brings up best free kicks. David James just stands there and without having to say a word know he's thinking "Well, what the feck was I supposed to do about that one lads?"
There's no separate video with such quality, so just skip to 1:45.
Hands down my favourite, a straight line of power and accuracy. Pretty mediocre player, but perfect kick. It's a CL game but the stadium is empty as Inter were facing some punishment, and this makes the sound of the ball and net quite nice to hear.
Payet v CP
Ibra v Fiorentina
Ronaldo v Europe XI
Junuzovic v Paderborn

I do like a put your laces through it, thunderbastard of a free kick.
This one's particularly enjoyable because of the sub-plot.
Reminds me of Nelinho's goal from 1978, but this one is even better.
The best that didn't go in
Filthy.
Sounded like a cannon off of his foot.
I always like goals with the ball still rising as it hits the back of the net.
Blatant cultural appropriation. He should be ashamed of himself.
These take some beating as a collection
Cant see the videos in work but Nakamuras Vs Man Utd in the champions league was special
Most of the FK's from Juninho Pernambucano and Sinisa Mihjailovic were all amazing.
I wouldn't include last night's free kick in the top 50 I've seen simply because it was deflected. But I would say any by Beckham and Roberto Carlos.
Payet for Westham v us. The trajectory of that ball was sensational.
Beckham Vs Greece
Ronaldinho vs England was an incredible one
This. And Ronaldo's against Pompey.
Didn't go in, but Eder's freekick vs. Argentina in '82 was an absolute rocket
Ronaldo's for us against Arsenal in the Champions league wasn't bad at all.
How could I forget Pierre van Hooijdonk free-kicks? The guy could hit an ant in the crossbar if he wanted.
Hakan Calhanoglu's FKs were ridiculously good for two or three seasons.
Keep in mind that this video is from 2015 - when he was just 21 years old.

One of my favourites as well. Eder and Bonhof should have a place in this discussion.
Wow.
Messi free kick vs athletico madrid. No player in the world could have scored it. Was only 1 spot he could have put it to score and he did within centimetres.
Unfortunately Roberto Carlos admitted in an interview with l'Equipe that his free kick was a fluke.
"The truth is that I just fix the position of the target in my mind, close my eyes and try to hit it as hard as possible. The ball was going completely wide but the wind brought it back to the goal. It was a miracle."

The Beckenbauer one is just incredible. The ease with which he does it as well, amazing.
Roberto vs Barça, 2000
Beckham vs Barça, 1998

Blocked in my location - which one / against whom is it?
Always think beck's one against Everton is underrated. To go across goal from this angle, the swerve is disgusting and lands right in the stantion.
His last goal for us I think
