I have two questions for everyone.
First Question: Is there anyone in the game who can take a free-kick like C.Ronaldo in real life, obviously apart from himself. I want someone who can spank the ball on target instead of trying to curl it.
Second Question: Who do you have on your free-kick duty?

Pirlo can "spank the ball".
I think most people go for hitting it straight into corners instead of curling it around the wall. I've found curling to be akward and hard to judge.

Hitting it powerfully towards the keeper occasionally forces a save and can be dangerous. Otherwise i'm pants at Free kicks...

It seems that all my players in my Arsenal team try and and sidefoot it from a free-kick, instead of what I would prefer, the laces strike.
This is the closest I have come to a rocket
P.S: It's the second video on there, the 2-0 one.
But as you see, he still hit it with the side of his foot!
is there any player you know of that strikes it with his laces from free-kicks?

How exactly do you curl the ball when taking a free kick?
