yea just watch the ball and be patient, and dont stab!! dont dive in. it pisses me off when people do that. just watch the ball and wait till they give it up.

Word!

i always catch them on the dribble. i see them coming into a one on one and wait till they get close then i tell myself, next dribble rush in. lots of forwards misjudge how much time they have before they get to the defender.

[panamond]

I think that's also good advice for a keeper in a 1 v. 1 situation.

i play as a defender.. n ya th main thing is to be patient but u have to be clever when to takle th ball or else ur left behind..!! =P

[panamond]

Yeah, I see sooo many players rush in and the attacker dribbles right by (left behind). I teach sprint to 5 yrds then close down to 2 yrds. Stay in their face and put pressure to delay until you get cover. Make a front toe poke to tackle (if you miss you can try again or even fake it to make them commit) when the attackers foot is off the ball (timing just as you pointed out).

i'm a defender, great dribbling you say? how well can you dribble with a damaged ankle? your fast you say? how fast can you run with a limp? accuracy? whats accurate when you got a defender right in front of you? and Power? i dont care how big you are or how strong i'll take you down with a nice chop to the back of your knees.

@gunsnrosesguy19

true dat. it's human nature to dive in though, you do it wihtout even thinking... it takes training and practice haha

Defense isn't easy. I love it when you switch and cover with another defender... that powerful feeling of teamwork..

@gunsroses idiot

[bluedragon636]

one way I've learned to defend really well is to use my back and legs, and when I'm a good distance out of the box, fight really hard for the ball by using my shoulder, and again, my legs to try and kick the ball out and away, but making sure they won't turn on me.

LOOL American playing football and calling it soccer, ha ha.

[johnv785]

maybe you don't have agility thats why you can't do it. did'nt i say don't commit. you stay on your toes which you said, but you fake a short step, your arms sell the fake.

[JBC02]

loool some rabid guy but thats true - say that to your opponents before a game and thats will psych them out

[krunkaintdead69]

dont forget to keep ur distance and keep ur legs close together and a low stance.

go for the tackle when they least suspect it or when they take theyr eyes off u

[crespogod09]

Everything you just tried to explain goes without saying you stupid asshole

Go learn how to play soccer you stupid fuck face

[Leprechaunsquad]

stand your ground means you don't dive in

not staying rigid and upright waiting to be walked past

bit of i retard yourself id say
