I caught a quote that interests me: level? im still a student. im 16. center forward? but i dont have the speed for that position. im tall and good in positioning but have a moderate speed. you think im up for that position? Anyone who tells you that you can't be a centre-forward if you're not fast ...
On a counter attack, yes, do what your coach says and run onto the long ball. If it gets you goals, do it. When your team has the ball and the other team is defending deep, however, I suggest a different pattern. Check to the ball, move close to your other midfielders and help them keep the ball mov...
Here's a question also - I'm good in the air, but the problem is that actually getting to the ball is a problem due to my height. What I find I'm very god at is losing my marker, does this compensate for height? Pazzini, Crespo, Pellissier, Falcao, none of these guys are too tall, but if you send a...
I'll do my best not to let my Inter bias shine through, but I probably won't be successful... Brain: Cambiasso (doing a good job with my Inter bias, no? :p). The guy is pretty much a coach already. He has fantastic positioning, great decision making, and is very good with tactics. Part of Inter's cu...
First post in a really long time. Anyway, I would play you somewhere in between winger and forward. Because winger to me means "run down the line and cross", which doesn't really make use of all your attributes. At the same time, I wouldn't play you as a straight out inverted winger (like when Messi...
Well, the whole point of it is not to win, but to annoy as many people as possible by losing in a public area. I've lost the game while delivering an announcement to my high school a few years ago, people didn't like me. But yeah, I've built up an immunity, I can talk or hear about the game without ...
What kind of dribblers? There's the "I'll beat players for fun" type: -Messi -Pastore -Cassano -Robinho -Robben -Lavezzi -A. Sanchez -Ribery -J. Zanetti (when he decides to dribble) -Nani -Quaresma There's also the "I can dribble for fun, but I prefer to just make space for myself" type: -Aguero -C....
Just to copy the perfect goals topic in finishing and passing, what kind of teamwork goals you thin are the sexiest. I put it under tactics because it's mostly that, I'm not talking about a genius through ball or something, but coordinated team plays. Mine would have to be a lightning quick counter-...
Well, the squad is shifting from Mou's philosophy to Benitez's, but absolutely yes. The defence looks really shaky, then again, it didn't look that good in the first few games under Mourinho either.
Keisuke Honda's free kicks (one at the World Cup and one from U21 Asian Championships a while ago spring to mind). He hits the ball with his instep, but it curls to the outside. Sort of like Roberto Carlos's famous goal but less power and, you know, he has scored it more than once...
Xavi. Every team Xavi plays for immediately adopts his "pass it to me, and leave the rest to me" style. Messi will undoubtedly be dangerous, and Iniesta will take control of the game, but Xavi by far overpowers both of them.
Alright, I learned how to do it. For future reference, if anyone doesn't know how to do it, just find a youtube video, find a youtube-to-GIF converter, copy and paste, and you're done!
vdV would be a great signing for Man U IMO. Not a United expert, but I would say they also need a ball winning midfielder for rotation. As for Liverpool, I think their best signing would be a replacement for Alonso, unless Gerrard drops deep beside Mascherano/Lucas/Poulsen while Joe Cole plays as th...
Anyone else really into Pro Evolution Soccer on the Wii? I'm addicted to it, personally. Still not good enough to make full use of its features, but it is really interesting. You get full control over your players, as opposed to other systems where you only control the player nearest to the ball. Li...
