Ronaldino, man I wish Man U got their hands on him. The creativity he's got puts him in a class of his own. C. Ronaldo is right up there though, magic feet....

Man those are great! I could do a handful of those as a youth, but not at a high success rate. After X amount of tries I'd get some of 'em. The only one I actually dared try in a game was the scissors. They're actually fairly simple/effective.

I busted my arm at a soccer academy when I was 14. We were on our lunch break messing around trying to pull off 'scissors on the pitch and I over turned in air and landed straight on my wrist. *snap-o*
Kind of left me hesitant to try and pull one after that.

Hehe, that's no good. I actaully hurt my back pretty bad on a scissor kick as a youth, myself. Or "bicycle kick" as I call it. They're quite rewarding if they work though - makes you feel big lol. I scored off one. Admittedly though, it was a pretty crappy shot which happened to go towards an even worse goalie. ;)

Earlier though I was reffering to "the scissors". I'm sure you know what those are. For those who don't here's a video (http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/view?&h=112&w=150&type=msmedia&rurl=www.strongsoccer.com%2FKingdrills%2Fclipsprac tice.htm&vurl=www.strongsoccer.com%2FKingdrills%2FsoccerAVI %2Fzmulti_scissors.WMV&back=p%3Dthe%2Bscissors%2Bsoccer%26sm%3DYahoo%2521 %2BSearch%26toggle%3D1%26ei%3DUTF-8%26fr%3DFP-tab-web-t&turl=scd.mm-so.yimg.com%2Fimage%2F1504424634&name=zmulti_%3Cb%3Escissors%3C/b%3E.WMV&no=1&tt=15&p=the+scissors+soccer&size=674.7kB&dur=3). Just click "Play Video"at the top of the page (you'll need windows media player). They are fairly simple once mastered - very high success rate of not only performing them, but effectively putting opposing defenders off balance/flat footed. I actually became quite good at those. The bicycle kick, like yourelf Ferret, I was always very reluctant to do. What can I say - I'm a coward. :o :slant:
