    Is it an offside if I dribble the ball all alone without passing the ball to anyone, and go past players on my side towards the goalie on the other side?

    No. It is only offside if you get a pass and you are behind the defenders, the goalie doesn't count.

    The toe is not the best to use in football, because when you kick the ball with your toe, you will not know where it is going. So try to use mostly the side or laces of your foot.

    If I'm running toward the goal under pressure, should I shoot wide or to the corners, or should I chip the ball? How should I shoot when I'm at left/right side of goal?
    Community Answer
    The goalie will probably be following you. You should shoot to the far post, because the goalie's movement is going in the other direction. Overall it's better to shoot low and in the corners, but in this case just try to get your hips around the ball as fast as possible and shoot far post.
