@fifatrainingcentre: Pirlo’s free-kick against England at the 2014 FIFA World Cup was not just close — it was pure set-piece artistry, struck so cleanly that it swerved past Hart’s read and smashed against the bar. It captured what made Pirlo so special from dead balls: disguise, control and the ability to make even a miss feel unforgettable. Should that one have been a goal?
