Since the Brazilian Championship ends December 2nd and this event takes place December 22nd, he will be on vacation and would happily accept this chalenge. Maybe is not fair for other players if could play both sides, so he could only play goalkeeper since he's having a poor year as a free kicker (only 1 goal in 2007, against 5 in 2006 and 11 in 2005!). But if his goals are getting scarce, on the other side he don't concede a free kick goal for more than 2 years, with beautiful defenses like the Gerrard's free kick in FIFA Club World Championship 2005 final.

Ronaldinho's great, but he's hardly a free kick specialist. Nakamura, Pirlo, Juninho, even Steven Gerrard - all are better free kickers than most of this list. That said, maybe if this competition sticks around, it will eventually get better and include the best. Also, I'd like to see Pepe Reina and Cech in goal, but then again, I'm not paying their way to a new event in the middle of a season.
