    If you always dribble, even in situations where it would be better to pass, you will not develop a good vision of the game. The key to success is pass accurately as often as possible to open players.

    If you're on the road for a weekend tourney and must eat fast food, then you can still eat a reasonable meal before the game.

    Choose complex carb. foods such as cereals, pancakes, waggles, bagels, toast with honey or jelly, potatoes (not french fries), pastas, and fruits.
    You can also have bread and roles, but avoid eating them with butter or margarine or use it sparingly. If you must eat red meat, choose baked or broiled. For potatoes, select baked or broiled ones rather than french fries. Drink skim or 1% milk.

    Words to avoid on the menu: fried, breaded, crispy, scampi style, creamed, buttery, au gratin, and gravy.

    And go light on eggs, bacon, cheese, and ham.

    You want to eat carbohydrates and avoid foods high in concentrations of proteins and fats before the game.

    If possible, eat 3 hours before the game.

    work 100% in practice.......its true, you play in games like you play in practice......

    use practice to work on your teammates with some criticism...but bond with them as good as possible. You must have a good bond between every player to have a good team.......

    Very true. Most players don't respond very well to someone who's always roasting them the way Roy Keane and Schmeichel do. Not all, but most. So criticize them when they do somethines bad, but encourage them when they do something good. This is common sense, but it's very true.

    I got it out of the book Conditioning for Soccer by Joe Luxbacher.

    How can the other team score if you maintain possession of the ball? Then again this depends on your style of play. I hate forcing the play, I'd never be upset with a forward playing the ball backwards. (Some may object to that)

    when I play striker I love to drop the ball back and make a run off of my pass. I hate forcing a turn and trying to take somebody every time I get the ball. I love to pass the ball almost as much as I love to score :) . The only time I really dribble is towards the end of the game to try and get a goal or waste time....

    i sh!t...this is by far the most important one!!!

    Always drink lots of water before the game, enuff to make u pee clear. I have noticed that drinking lots of booze makes u pee clear too, but alcohol should be avoided lol. Most of the water you drink will be before the game. The water u sip at half does nothing but wet your throat. You won't absorb that water till well past the 90th minute.

    hi...there r 3 things i want to emphasise;
    1..stop rigorous practise 2 days before a tournament,this avoids injury & builds glycogen
    levels.
    2..if a player while taking a sudden turn falls with a
    grimace holding his knee in pain,it's almost sure he
    has torn a knee ligament.
    3..always read the game.

    One way to practice acceleration and power involves a drill using two players. One player is down on his stomach while the other is standing up with the ball in his hands. The player standing up throws the ball to the other player and the player on his stomach jumps up as quickly as possible, heads the ball to the other player and then goes back to the ground immediately. I may not have explained this well but I remember reading it from Beckenbauer's book Soccer Power.

    Don't panic. That is one of the most important things in soccer i think. Fact is for the guy to get the ball from you unless he is already right on you when you receive a pass he will have to run right at you. All you have to do is cut and you will have lots of space.

    Try to know where you will put the ball before you get the ball!

    Learn how to read the referee!

    There are hundreds of things players can do by learning how to use the referee. I will give you a few examples to wet your apetite.

    Is the ref keeping up with play when it gets to the goal line. If not then you will be able to get away with things that you shouldn't be able to.

    Is he giving every offside if you call for it? if so tell your defenders to step up and call for every offside.

    Appeal for decisions early and if he gives them then thank him and tell him "well spotted ref."

    Always respect the referee and never try to argue them into giving you a decision, think about it the other way round and you would not give in so why would the referee.

    Thats enough for now I hope it helps but remember when people say "Were playing against 12 men" Its because one team has learned how to play the referee better then you have.

    I am not giving any secrets away from a referees point of view because all these things are pretty obvious and are common practice at semi pro and above.

    lol, the good thing about me playing center mid or striker, is I get involved with the refs a lot(fouls, offsides, etc.). I have learned how to win his favor, and when I cant get him on my side, I have learned how to talk bad to refs without getting more than a warning. I can read ref's personalities......lol
