Both were perfect for a straight shot rather than a curl as they were the best distance out. Any closer it would have been one of the other two taking it I'd imagine. And as I said earlier, even if it's dead centre the bounce in front of the keeper could cause trouble if you had anyone other...
It's a free kick that Kane and Ronaldo love. If it goes either side of the keeper it's awful to control, if it hits he keeper it often bounces out (to Baldock if he was playing), or if you don't get it quite right it looks shite.
