(Video) Top 5 free-kicks in World Cup history, following departing Chelsea ace David Luiz’s thunderbolt

Roberto Carlos (Brazil vs China, 2002)

Arguably not quite as good as his 1997 Confederations Cup free-kick against France, but this Roberto Carlos thump in 2002 against China was still one of the best free-kicks the World Cup has ever seen. Carlos finished with 11 goals from his 125 caps, while Brazil went on to win the 2002 tournament in comprehensive fashion.
