-Don't be afraid to take the ball deep into thecorner where the defensive pressure is not nearly as heavy. Then try a pass or lob to thefront of the net followed with a one-time kick or header. There's a reason this sort oflogic is played out in real soccer.


-Header shots are hard to do, but usually find the back of the net when taken from closerange. Work on them.


-One-time passes and/or shots in midfield, triggered before the ball gets to the foot, cantear a defense apart.


-The game generally rewards good play and the benchmarks are shots on goal and possessionin the offensive zone. Especially early, try your best to keep the ball in the far end,pouring everything you can on net.


-To sharpen your quick passing skills, try the indoor game for a bit then go back outside.You won't believe the space you have to work with.


- Get a six-plus button gamepad. Get one. It'll make headers, bicycle kicks, and otherfancy stuff much easier.
