[QUOTE="Peoria Illini, post: 1401570, member: 593314"] Modric does have better mobility and is an incredible midfielder, probably Croatia's best ever, but I'd give the nod to Pirlo over Modric. Pirlo's vision and passing ability was incredible. Not sure you can just label him a free-kick specialist. But really, they were two different positions. I'd put Modric as more of an attacking/Central midfielder, an 8 or a 10, whereas Pirlo was more of a holding mid, a 6. Both great midfileders, but me personally, I'd give the nod to Pirlo. Regarding Croatia, I love the combo of Modric and Rakitic. I think Rakitici is an underrated midfielder. He's starting to come into more of his own at Barcelona this past season. [/QUOTE]
