I didn't mean an actual free kick, I meant as in nobody is challenging you. A penalty is scored 80% of the time or whatever, a free kick is scored, maybe 5% of the time, or less? There's skill involved in scoring a free kick and there are more players in the way and its further out.
I'm not sure if it was a pisstake earlier but I'd actually much prefer the hockey style run from the halfway line penalties as they have more skill involved by both the taker and keeper.
