I'm on a LOTG - Spirit of the Game mission tonight 
In my opinion, some of the most satisfying free-kick goals in history are the ones that go under the wall. They require a combination of skill, precision, and a bit of risk from the taker.
However, the introduction of the "draught excluder" seems to take away the attacking advantage. The balance was better when defenders had to make the choice to either jump or stay grounded and with the law change that prevents attackers from being part of the defensive wall, the scales have been futher tipped in favor of the defending team.
A simple adjustment, like requiring all players to remain on their feet, could help restore the attacking teamās advantage without compromising fairness.
