In my position I get launched all the time... don't mean to brag, but I'm KINDA fast and sometimes the only option for the opponents is to tackle me... hard!
That's why I always got tackled. I played at the edge of off-side so sometimes all a defender could still do was tackle me before I ran away with the ball...
And launching...well a few years ago i used to 'launch'(tackle rugby-style) quite a bit, but coach and others got mad at me a lot cuz it resulted in unnecessary injuries to people, and got me into trouble-also i often knew the people i played against so it was kinda risky otherwise too...i havent done that for a long time now...
It'd be an honour playing alongside the legendary short uruguayan pitbull
i remember i was once playing against some idiot form another class and he really was gettting on my nerves....he tried to go past him but i tripped his foot pretty hard and while he was on the floor i struck the ball towards his face real hard like i was clearing,and he started sobbong like anything just cos his nose was bleeding a little....:LOL:
btw i got a real dressing down from the teacher who saw the incident,but imo it was still worth it....
lol u see i'd do a lot more launching if we didnt have anuthority on our backs...and honestly if i had a dressing down everytime i made a bad tackle i would kill myself...
but sometimes it feels like you became the ruler of the world....footy is so emotional...when u play it rarely...
I played every position! Now I play defender, and I really like this position!
But once, when I played in goal, I had to save a penalty! The guy who shoot, was 2 years younger, and I thought this would be easy! But when he shoot, The ball went through my legs! Man, since then I neever played in the goal!
