Yeah, I've no idea what shielding is either. And I think by juggling, he meant volleying.
-
At first I couldn't see how throwing 3 juggling balls between your hand simultaneously would help you be more proffecient at playing footy
-
well what about the rest of my post, does anyone know anything about that?
-
Read my post above.
-
no all this stuffAs far as long balls, long range shooting, and chipping. What are some distances. Like I should be able to chip, half the field? and a long ball shoul be able to go from the outer box to over and past mid-field right?
-
shielding is just putting your body between someone and the ball...juggling is just keeping the ball in the air with some touches...chipping is usually shorter distance like 10-20 ydsyou should be able to shoot from 20-30 yds outand ya thats a good length for long balls
-
oRc... you seemed to misunderstand my statement..."football is football" i meant that the **names ** of the positions don't matter... i fully understand the difference between midfield and defense... i was refering back to
In reply to:
there is no such thing as fullback in football
[i understand the game is very different over here in the US but how the hell do you not know what shielding and juggling is... are they called something else over there] :confused: :confused:
-
Yes, sheliding = blocking, juggling = kick ups. who invented these pathetic phrases when we invented the game?We played a team from the US once at my school and FLOORED them, pity I was in net even I couldve got past their defence. They were AWFUL.

lol AMERICA=SUCKS AT SOCCER idk why they changed the terms... i guess it was so us stupid americans could understand
-
Quite.
-
lol
-
I need some help. I can get to those distances easily, and even farther. But for the long balls, I have a very band tendency to bend the ball real bad. I need to know how to kick the long ball properly and shooting, I suck.
-
Yah well if we played a game of american football against any european teams we would smash them, and if all of our NBA stars actually played for the olypmic teams we would dominate like we use to also
-
So America sucks at soccer, and France sucks at American football. I'm glad we got that straightened out.How many NBA stars would it have taken for the last Olympics not to have been such an embarassment? (And to think, Carmelo Anthony and I went to the same school.)
-
OKAY HIJACK A DIFFERENT THREAD NOT THIS ONE. CAN ANYONE GIVE SOME TIPS?
-
Sorry, ill just PM you steve
-
If curl the ball, you need to come on from it at an angle. When kicking the ball don't stand straight to it unless your driving it. If you are right footed, aproach the ball from a left angle, and reduce or increase the angle according to where the ball has to go. Similarly if you are left footed, approach it from the right, increasing or decreasing the angle according to where the ball has to go. MSN me Walken, just reply to my PM :P

Watch some UK premiership football, home of some of the most renound football teams in the world. Although im English im not much into sport, well, j enjoy Pool and Snooker.But yeah, watch the big teams play (Manchester UTD, Arsenal, Chelsea, watch how their defenders defend and learn to be like that.A lot of sports people learn from watching others. Amir Kahn, our up and coming boxing star who got Silver at the Olympics when he was 17 wooped the guy who beat him at the time, he was arguabally the best amateur boxer in the world. Amir studied a lot of footage of his fights and went in and KNEW how to beat his opponent, same thing for most sports, and most things in life, you learn by other peoples example...Good luck btw(PS. American Football isn't played in the UK mainly, we play Rugby, same sport but without pads (more or less).Basketball isnt particularly popular here but netball is. Its a girls sport basically the same as basketball but without the bouncing aboutAgain, we dont play baseball, theres a girls sport again called rounders instead thats more or less the sameTo be fair most american sports arent popular outside of America. Not having a dig its just the way it is)
