  • Is this right? Hold your cause it will have a tendency if you have momentum to push the ball out. Is it not better to bring the thigh up but keep your foot behind the thigh, meaning hold your foot back a little to keep the thigh from hitting the ball

  • i love soccer itrs relly funn i've played for 3 years its so much fun i rock u rool lets go soccer!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

  • this stuff for the starter

  • The grass is a little long.

  • @commanderkiwi6 Oh... Thanks i always just let the ball bounce on my foot...not good at trapping thanks for the tip

  • @12elfutbolista Yes, but you have to use the inside of your foot and relax your foot so that the ball doesn't bounce away from you. Don't move your foot forward either, once it hits your foot bring your foot down so that you can be ready to pass/shoot, and so that it falls straight down.

  • @12elfutbolista you maybe can, but it might not go where you want, because of the smaller surface area of the foot.

  • wow u have to open youre leg up and hit it with youre thigh or else it could hit it with ur knee. And yes u can trap a ball with youre foot from the air...

  • in america we call it soccer

  • its funny...these are 'experts' and they call it 'soccer'??
