You certainly know this one : the false pass.

The forward winger makes a lateral pass to the forward center. A nervous opponent will quickly move the goal keeper and the defender in order to prevent the forward center to shoot. This will create an opportunity for the winger to shoot in the hole created by the move of the goal keeper. This can be done very smoothly.

Next time, the winger makes the same pass and let the forward center shoot.

Curiously, this post is right on topic

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).


When the person can do 10 passes back and forth in a couple of seconds, it's harder to defend.
And as you say, coupled with the diagonal shot, it's a killer combo.

I am the worlds worst table football player. I've only ever played a few games and when I'd only played a few games of pool I was similarly crap but I don't really have any motivation to get any better at it really.

All the best players here can do it and it is quite effective. It takes a great defenseman to stop it consistently.


Blah, old hat! Come back when you got game!

yep.

It has been awhile since I played for money, so I guess new strats have been invented. But when the guy had both those shots and could do them from the same move, it was tough.

I never play pool for money, I'm not good enough.

Not that I couldn't win games against people I don't know who want to play for money but I won't win enough.

If you can make sure that you can't get hold of any fags, get hammered. It makes the cravings worse and you don't care its a bit weird but it works

No... it probably wouldn't be enough to gain immigration.
While there are always marketing/sales jobs available, it's at an all time low right now.

The trick would be to find a company in you country that actually has a sales office in Chicago or is looking to set up a sales office there (or any US city for that matter). Apply their and tell them you would like to work in Chicago... That's the fastest way to get into the country... let them do all the paperwork for you.

And a Masters Degree never hurts. Not really needed in a good economy... but these days...
