I do query the technique (left v right foot) But it's more a question of timing and decision-making. Last defender slide-tackling is usually a BAD decision. An extremely risky decision. Any hint of coming from behind (even cleanly hitting the ball) will bring up a foul.
Also,the defender should be running BESIDE the attacker to apply pressure. This is the timing aspect. There will be a moment when the attacker allows the ball to be "seen" and the defender should be looking for that moment.
Its accually better slide tackling with the left foot because often you may get a hand ball for a proper one. think about it and try it in your next game
Not the best example, really. He's right about why and how it should be used and so on. But in this case, you would be using your right leg. You don't get much momementum or power by using the leg closest to the ball. It shows at the last try,I think
i'm left footed and i came here thinking i'd see the tackle with the right foot and then i'd just have to reverse the feet positions, so i was really glad to see the demonstration with a left footer. I would have loved to see him tackle from the left side of the forward too
@ctiscan i don't know if what i'm saying is right but i think in this situation the guy should tackle with his right foot because his steady foot will be stronger...i mean that his tackle would be stronger stepping on his outer foot..that's the way i tackle on the field and it's better for me..please tell me if anything i say is wrong..thanks :)
@ctiscan Yes it does but the quality of contact is poor, compared to what it would be if the right foot would have come across and made contact with the ball horizontally otherwise it could just clip the shin and stay on the pitch like it did 1:03 ........
@madsholthansen i think he is lefty, im a lefty and i can only slide tackle to the side with my left foot when i slide tackle to the left with my left foot it comes out like this guy. i know he is suppose to use the right foot. =l
noob teacher, noob students ... player with the ball should play with his left foot to protect the ball with right if defender gets close to him... and defender should tackle with right foot ..
People shouldn't discuss which country has better football. Or use the latest World Cup as way of ranking teams. The thing is: Spain was champion and Holland was second. But I suppose anyone who knows something about football also knows that Germany had way better players. Right now, Brazil has a good team, and so does Argentina, Spain, France, England, etc. Stop arguing about shit, this is supposed to be fun.
at certain times you shouldnt even allow them to have touch you want to be making first time contact with the ball so he can not flick the ball past your foot whilst going in for the slide tackle and then claim a free kick or worse penalty if fouled
@ChrisPayneable Brazillians WAS the best in 2002 and earlier maybe. But right now European countries Dominate the sport and not to mention spain winning the world cup this year. Brazillians are GREAT, but the best? No way!
last season i was left winger as in attacking, now my coach dicide to set me left back, now i need to know how to be a good defender, does anyone has some tips? or some good video's to learn?
@TheMrFratboy it depends on the position of his opponent. if he's at the left side(as seen in this video) then he'll have to tackle with his left. If, however, he's opponent is on the right side, then he tackles with his right foot. whichever way, he's closer leg with do the magic!
@TheMrFratboy you can't say he "should" do it with his right because there is no specific technique, for most cases using the right foot may be more natural and efficient in this situation , but making that assertion is like saying to a left footer, he should be a right footer. each different play is situational for what you should do, which different people may find more comfortable than the majority of players.
@TheMrFratboy lol ur a newbie it is a perfect tackle in this situation he is right cuz if he is goin to play it with his righ foot so where would be his left one? under him its gonna be broken and viceversa this is the only video i applaud to livestrong
i agree, nothing was learned by watching this vid,, and it is better to tackle with the other leg, as in hook around, so the offensive player has almost no chance of retreat... as a defender myself, slide tackling seriously comes as a natural reflex now... it just "happens" if u know what i mean...
austin aztex? who are they? need to research them.
That's not right. You've to takle with you're strong foot. Usualy if you're right foott is the stronger one, you play on the right side. So it's logically to slide tackling on this way. Sry for my bad englisch, but i'm german.
Usually when you slide tackle a person they don't jump to avoid your leg they trip and they get a free kick so it's kind of gay just get the ball and go
@85CHeeCK I know I used to do that but if you use your other foot it allows him to take another touch mabye even over you so it is vital to use that foot
@3rk4u yeah, that's true, but I'm a defender and I use my leg to get back up, if I throw myself to tackle, I hurt my wrist... so it's better to tackle and immediately place your feet IN the ground and stand up..
You learn it by doing it, I tackled 2 times in 5 seconds..
Shouldn't he have gone in with the other foot, I am playin defensive midfield this season and I am well nervous cos I have got a game tmoz against a gd team and my dad expects too much and I don't want to dissapoint him :(
@dirtysock145 no. if its clean its nothing, in most cases anyway, and only because of refs discretion. but its still a foul. its yellow if its not clean. its red if its an ankle breaker or if the refs an anal prick.
it used to be legal by the way. happy times ;)
anyway this is not a tackle from behind, because you have to go through the back of his legs to do that.
@dirtysock145 errrrm no. sorry bout that i think i confused you. a tackle from behind is one that comes in from behind but goes through the legs, its a foul if thats whats done.
i was just replying to your comment about a tackle from behind being an automatic red. hope that clears it up.
@dirtysock145 not if you are going for the ball and didnt bring the player down. All slide tackles are legal as long as you are going for the ball and not the legs
he's using wrong leg to dispossess the ball, it should be the top leg (ie not the leg that he is sliding on) that he uses to swing around and contact /kick the ball.
we should seriously do somthin about soccer gettin no respect cuz id like to c a football player take a ball right to the head like us soccerplayers do
yea well put, just because were americans doesnt mean we suck at soccer... i just made all state this year and we can play soccer or football well to. We enjoy playing it as much as in other countries
I'm 21 and only discovered how awesome soccer is this year. I wish I would have played when I was a kid. I played hockey for 4 years, baseball for 1 and football for 1. Hockey was pretty much the only sport I enjoyed playing on a team. In a way, it's similar to soccer. Fast paced I guess. I am American. I never hated soccer either, I was just too nervous to join a team :P
Don't hate on the Americans that do play Soccer hate one the ones that play American Football and Baseball because most of them ( at least my school) joke people who play Soccer.
@Electronicpie those people are ignorant real athletes know how to appreciate other sports i respect baseball and basketball even though i dont like watching it
@Raiguk3n It really sucks I just got back from a school game it was pouring rain and no one was their. But when their was a football game and it was pouring rain the average crowd still showed up! More people need to learn about the awesomeness of Soccer:)
dont worry no one is going to watch any sport this summer since the world cup is then. Thank god for the guys at sportcenter they will show the greatness of the sport.
plus some basketball players are on the team they enjoy the work out we get and respect us greatly
@ctiscan you obviously dont play a very high level of football if thats the way you think about the game.

@Raiguk3n It really sucks I just got back from a school game it was pouring rain and no one was their. But when their was a football game and it was pouring rain the average crowd still showed up! More people need to learn about the awesomeness of Soccer:)

dont worry no one is going to watch any sport this summer since the world cup is then. Thank god for the guys at sportcenter they will show the greatness of the sport.
plus some basketball players are on the team they enjoy the work out we get and respect us greatly
