love the podcast guys. just my thoughts; i’d take either ronaldo or ribery for a free kick, though i’m leaning towards ronaldo…
Thanks, Pete. Ronaldo certainly is difficult to argue against, especially after watching his kick this week about 50x.
Not that I’ve done that.
Stupid accessibility via the internet.
