From a questionnaire about football, what would you do in the following situations. Here is one scenario:
Limite dell'area, palla vagante respinta dalla difesa:
Controllo in corso con la coscia, servi di esterno il tuo compagno chiendendo il traingolo, ti infili nello spazio e con uno splendido tocco sotto fai goal.

Yeah it is used tremendously in Rugby and minused rugby on my google link to make sure it is used for soccer. Use the lob (up) and curves under.

Note from asker:
| Hi Jim - I really like this but my husband has just suggested that this is a rugby term and not football (soccer). |
| ..but I've just noticed the number of up and unders in reference to football from your google reference. |
Something went wrong...
