I don't know about scoring a goal, but you have 4 great goalkeepers taking free kicks:
José Luis Félix Chilavert (Paraguay-retired ), Jorge Campos Navarrete (Mexico-retired), José René Higuita Zapata (Colombia-retired) and Rogério Mücke Ceni (Brazil-active in the world cup) ... maybe there are more of them.
Rogério Mücke Ceni (born January 22, 1973 in Pato Branco, Paraná, Brazil) is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper. He has played for the Brazilian national team, and was in the squad when Brazil won the 2002 World Cup. Despite his position, he has established a reputation as a goal scorer, he is one of the world's leading free-kick specialists (he is the top free kick-scoring goalkeeper ever) and often takes penalties. As of 3 May 2006, he had scored 63 goals (42 from free kicks and 21 from penalty kicks), 61 of them were scored in official matches. These goals have placed him as the 2nd highest-scoring goalkeeper in the history of football (soccer), after Chilavert who scored 62 goals in his career.
José Luis Félix Chilavert (born July 27, 1965 in Luque, Paraguay) is a former football (soccer) goalkeeper. Chilavert was also one of the world's leading free kick specialists, and often took penalties. This unusual expertise for a goalkeeper has made him the all-time leading scorer among professional keepers. He scored 62 goals in his professional career, including eight in international matches. Four of his international goals were scored during Paraguay's qualification for the 2002 World Cup. He has 74 international caps for Paraguay and an impressive 8 international goals. Chilavert retired from all football in 2004.
Jorge Campos Navarrete (born October 15, 1966 in Acapulco, Mexico) is one of the most notable Mexican football players of the 1990s. Although usually playing as a goalkeeper, Campos would often make for an effective striker, making him an especially interesting player. Often he would start a game in goal, and transfer upfield later in the match. Besides guarding the nets of his respective teams, Campos was also able to score an amazing 35 goals, including an incredible 14 in the 1989-90 season for UNAM Pumas. On the international stage, Campos started for Mexico in the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups as the number one goalkeeper, and went to compile 129 caps for his country.
José René Higuita Zapata (born August 28, 1966 in Medellín) is a Colombian football goalkeeper, who played 69 international matches for the Colombian team, in which he scored three goals. He is famed for inventing the "scorpion kick", a clearance where the keeper jumps forward, arches his legs over his head and in doing so, kicks the ball away with his heels. This save earned him wide admiration when he pulled it off in a friendly against England in September, 1995, blocking a shot by Jamie Redknapp.

Whoa, that is a really good one, just a few issues: England is not Liverpool, Spain is not Milan and Beckham is not Gerrard. I think that the dream final would be Spain against either Brazil or Argentina, if this last one cheers up of course, but I doubt the final is gonna be fully European again. I am not Spanish, but I am a 'cule' (Barcelona) so my dream final is something like Xavi scoring 2 goals, Iniesta scoring a goal, Pique scoring a goal and Puyol scoring a goal. Yup. That's it hahahaha. Have a super fantastic one lol.
