World Cup Watch: The best free-kick takers
Posted Wednesday, April 28, 2010 by The Independent
Xavi Hernandez (Spain)
Spain have a ridiculously good pool of players to call on when it comes to free-kicks. Fabregas, Villa, Iniesta, Alonso... the list goes on. But it will likely be Barcelona star Xavi Hernandez who gets first dibs if there's a goal scoring chance. Uefa's Player of the Tournament at Euro 2008 created two goals in one match with his free-kicks during qualification for the World Cup, proving that he can pick out his team-mates just as well as the top corner.
