Still not as good as Elmander's at Wolves.

One of the most underrated goals you’ll ever see, if it was Messi ......

Sky have just been showing Lamelas goal from all angles. It’s Bergkamp kinda genius 

Great skill, but is it necessary?

If the right foot step over moves an opponent just enough to all the ball to creep past, then I can get it.

Other than that, it seems a bit of flamboyant nonsense: surely the technique is more difficult than just curling it in with the right peg.

Each to their own, but not really my bag.

It’s the pinpoint accuracy, if he curled it, the speed would Have been taken out of it. I’ve seen him so it a few times so I don’t think he has much faith in his right foot

That's true enough, still not sure that a week right is worse than a left peg round the back.

 

Never a bad time...

 

Shithouse 😁

Any professional football player should be able to kick the ball as well with either foot....

It's not like they don't have time to practice....

When you see clips of Maradona and Messi as kids, they were born with a magic left foot, they didn't learn it.  Relatively they are poor with their right feet, it doesn't change significantly with practise.  Beckham's free kicks, Okocha's skill, both completely right footed because that's where their gifts were.  You've either got it or you haven't.

That’s like saying a darts,snooker,tennis  player can just as well with their other hand. In theory yeah they should, but they’re gonna spend the time perfecting their stronger side to make that brilliant.

Yeah but he’s a rarity. Zidane could do it all with both feet, some players are just freaks 

Despite my best attempts wanking with my left hand isn’t the same as with my right

Not quite is it really. Everyone has a stronger foot, but should be able to do a bit with the weaker one. Necessary even if just to help with a dribble.

Snooker players have rests to help where the shot would necessitate use of the wrong hand, and no bugger trying to take the ball off them.

Played at a decent level and I can pretty much put it where I want with my right foot, bend it left or right etc, but like a spaz with my left foot. Same with handwriting, can only do it with my right hand.

Strange thing is, my left hand is my wanking hand, think it must feel like someone else is doing it.

Anyway, most pro's are one footed

Just had a cheeky treble on Cheltenham, Crawley and Salford all winning tonight. With my track record, at least 1 is likely to let me down which would be very good

Battle Snooker. If it isn't already a thing,  it should be.

Rafael Nadal is naturally right handed.....

The point I'm making is that practice makes you better at something. 

I'm naturally right footed. I practiced kicking a football with my left foot when I was a kid. Didn't spend a lot of time doing it, was still using my right foot. I ended up with the same ability with both feet. Some would say shit ability!!! 

I should've practiced heading a ball, I was useless!!

Couldn't head a ball for toffee neither.

As for kicking it, like everyone else, I have a preferred foot (left) but using the right was never an issue whatsoever, and I can't accept that a top level professional has one standing leg.

Its just instinctive.
