I saw a comparison between Beckham and Mihajlovic - on what basis? Hype or what?

The kind of freekick he scored against Greece? what about Ronaldinho's against England?

I remeber even @ 35, Mihajlovic was brought in as a substitute and he scored 2 to equalise for Inter (freekicks of course). No doubt, he is the best free kick taker ever in history (Roberto Rivelino, i didnt see him play). (check out his stats on PS games if you doubt).

a player who scores 12 freekicks in a season is a legend (Juninho has 29 goals from dead balls since joining Lyon)

Beckham bends the ball quite alright, I should say even better than anyone else does, but freekick precision is not only about curves jare. When I think freekicks, i think of:

Mihajlovic, Rivaldo, Carlos, Piero, Pirlo, Henry, Juninho, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Recoba, Totti, and Van Hooijdonk.

Beckham's free-kick is top-notch and this is not the only quality he has got.
David is by miles the best dead-ball specialist.
No individual player crosses the ball with precision than David Beckham.
Can Juninho/Mihaljovic or Roberto Carlos cross with Precision?
Beckham delivers the ball inch-perfectly and he makes the job of a striker so freakin easy.

Beckham will stroll with ease into any national team with his astounding natural ability.
U need to go take a look at the goals Beckham has scored in his career.
Who can forget the spectacular goal he scored against Wimbledon in 1996.
Beckham saw the goalie standing a long way out of his goal and he took a shot from the halfway line that floated over the goalkeeper and into the net.

David Beckham is the bomb.
I do not benefit jack from the Beckhams but i appreciate his amazing skills with the ball.
Only few players can match him in ball delivery and inch-perfect crosses.

@ Lordi,
Beckham is one of the best free-kick taker in the world.
One of the few players in the world cup history to score twice from different free-kicks in different World Cup editions.
Ronaldinho, Zidane and Figo are yet to acheive this feat.

Hate him or Love him, Beckham is a legend.

yeah rite, he's a leg end

and wat legacy did he live behind, l

as far as i am concerned the legacy he left behind has nothing to do with football, he's a fcukin celebrity, his life revolves around victoria beckham,

there a public figure, and i feel it has got him distracted, he has his face on more magazines than anyother footballer, not because he is good, but because of endorsements and of course his wife,

don't get me wrong i love beckham, i started loving him when he played for real madrid, he was a better player in real madrid than in manutd,
