Some lovely strikes here.
There’s something wonderful about seeing a perfectly taken free-kick hit the back of the net because their seems to be a genuine lack of dead-ball specialists in the modern game.
Not to sound like a grump old sod but you could almost put your mortgage on a goal being scored when David Beckham, Roberto Carlos or Lyon’s Juninho all stepped up.
None of those lads compared to Dennis Irwin’s smack of a ball though.
Steven Gerrard will be off to the LA Galaxy over the summer so Liverpool will need a new free-kick taker for next season.
Betfair were there to film Balotelli, Lambert, Borini and Markovic as they went head-to-head with Dutch YouTube sensation Bas and it’s very interesting.
Take a look.
If you haven’t seen Bas strike a free-kick before then we strongly urge you to do so. He might be one of the worlds best.
Cue the inevitable, but can he do it on a wet Wednesday in Stoke?
