  • i can bet $10 this guy dont even know how to kick a ball right and hes a "coach" because he took some classes from other people who never played the game. good stuff.

  • The key to being a forward is not listening to this guy, lol. First being a forward requires all of the following, good passing, keeping possession, winning possession (goal kicks,punts, regular passes), taking shots when you have the opportunity, good trapping and speed/ball control. ***Key things to remember when in the offensive third always go middle, your responsible for d as well put pressure on their d and forwards are supposed to make something out of nothing (use moves, take shots).

  • i am trying to learn soccer better

  • this dude made 138,518 vids. he must stay on the computer 24/7

  • Let's be honest. Playing forward is all about putting balls in the back of the net. IF you want to be a great Soccer forward you need to work on your shooting and finishing every day. When you are playing, keep reminding yourself to get forward, get forward, get forward. Scoring goals is 50% getting in the right areas and 50% technique. As a forward you should always be in the box trying to get in an open position for a shot whenever your team has a chance to score.

  • it helps because i play soccer
