Question

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?

Qvanessa18

Community Answer

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

Question

Can't I ever touch the ball with my toe?

Qvanessa18

Community Answer

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.

Question

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.

Question

How do I score when someone is blocking me?

Community Answer

Move around during the game and try to lose them. Once you see your team has the ball, you can get a head start running to the goal. Remember to stay onside.

Question

What can I do if I get too nervous and take too long to shoot?

Community Answer

Don't think. When you get the ball, just pick a spot the keeper is not covering and shoot in that direction.
