I've always thought it was too easy to score with the midfielders and have been of the understanding that only the poorer player will try.

I use the midfielders to pass it to my forwards to score. Although I prefer to play defence.

I share the same thoughts Makeo, I'm 100% with you there, i did mean easiest as opposed to 'best'.

I also score the Majority of my goals with my defenders but if someone leaves me a slow ball right in front of my midfielders i dont turn it down.

In a competive game however, i will use most techniques short of spinning (which is disallowed in the Championship) and rapidly moving a set of a players sideways and back.

Not Most, about 10-20% i'd guess.
Two of the Three pubs closest to me do however, so i'm lucky in that respect.
Pool is much bigger here, but I dont tend to be as good at that.

Tired of ads?

Ming, can you tell me about Marketing/Sales in Chicago?
If i was educated to degree level would this be good enough to gain immigration(I am currently studying for this) ?? Would a further qualifaction such as a Masters be required?

and How hot does it get in Summer?

Do you have any downtown pictures of Chicago?

Not in Reading they don't. Too many crap town center chain pubs. Hardly any of them have tables.

I've never heard it called anything but Foosball.
Even back in the 70's.

The killer score move has always been to do the inside pass between your men in the front row back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, (as many times as it takes to get the goalie out of position), then wrist slam it home. All the best players here can do it and it is quite effective. It takes a great defenseman to stop it consistently.

I've never lived any where else... the weather is the worst part... cold, snowy winters... warm humid summers... BLACH

Chicago is great, though!! Restaurants, museums, sports, entertainment... it's got it all. I can't compare it to NY because I've never been. But the best part is, we don't have New Yorkers here.

The biggest difference is that Chicago has Alleys, so all the dumpsters are behind the resturants instead of right next to the entrance. That single fact has ruined many a dining experience for me in New York. It also makes Chicago appear to be a much cleaner city.

Disagree, I use this move this all the time, but a good player can read it, combined with a stepover or another such simular trick and it might fool a good player. To someone who doesnt play it looks wonderful and people think it's an amazing skill but in reality this move is too easy to antipate (the exception is where you can use your strikers very effectively to hit the ball diagonally, which is something i am not great at).
