    Perhaps the moderators could rename this thread:

    That's not the way brains work. If I'm remembering correctly 50% of left handed individuals actually are left brain dominant while 90% of right handers are.

    That's not the way comedy works. If it bends, it's funny; if it breaks, it's not funny.

    But thanks for the mini-lesson in neuroscience (or whatever). I realize now that my posts haven't been as humorous since I had a hemispherectomy last month. I'll never do that again!

    Both these players are right-footed.

    Although Sneijder is very good on his left, he chooses his right at set-pieces.

    Sneijder is one of those rare footballers who is perfectly two-footed.

    The most powerful of all time, IMO, is Rivelino. But the most creative and skilled is Maradona.

    I didn't read all of the responses, but if you're a USMNT fan, could you forget Preki?

    But those are left-handed players. We look for left-footed players.

    Some in your list are also left-footed but some are right-footed.
