Free kick plays and goals on set plays in MLS action. In mid-May MLS teams are seeing

success on set piece play with the free kick goal scoring. Balls curled into the upper corner, and

balls flicked by the keepers on set piece headers, were some of the big goals for the Whitecaps and

FC Dallas matches this week. Sanvezzo of Vancouver and Cooper of FC Dallas both had beautiful goals

off of set pieces during these free kicks awarded to their respective clubs. Eddie Johnson of the Seattle

Sounders continues to be red hot as the Sounders cooled down Dallas with a 4-2 thumping in Seattle.

The FC defense looked stunned as Johnson and Neagle scored in the first 30 minutes putting Dallas in

a hole they could not over come. Meanwhile, Portland’s Will Johnson’s PK quiets down the Whitecap

crowd to tie up the score on a hard fought battle in Vancouver. Two minutes later it’s Koffie of Vancouver

who curls one by the Timber keeper to put the Whitecaps up a goal. Then the Timbers go down a man

with a foul from Futty, and he was red carded with a send off. With only 10 men the Timbers find the

back of the net with Valencia who strokes his first MLS goal. Timbers tie the Whitecaps in a well played match between two Western division foe’s.

Faster Passing And Moving Drills U10, U11, U12, U13, U15 Players. One touch passing and

moving without the ball are so important in good winning soccer. Teaching the speed of the

game in drill situations is to be focused on, to make faster player reactions. Aggressive receiving

of the ball and moving toward the pass to keep opponents for taking away the ball is critical in building

solid possession soccer. As a rule, the team with them most time of possession wins the game.

Turning and moving with and without the ball is the drills purpose. Don’t hold the ball too long and don’t

stand flat-footed, always be on the balls for our feet moving to an open position to receive an open

passing lane. Move to space and be where your team-mate can see you or hear you communicating.

One touch play is so important to keep a defense from getting set up to defend your teams attack. Look

to set up your team-mates best chance to play a better angle. Look to learn how to lay off a pass to a player for a shot on goal.

Robin Van Persie From Man U With Full Volley GOAL!!!

This may be the strike of the year here in 2013. Manchester United’s striker Robin Van Persie

hit a beauty out of the air against Aston Villa in a 3-0 victory for the men in red. Van Persie knocked

in a hat trick on Villa in the first half alone, giving Man U their 20th league title for the English Premier

League. Wanye Rooney’s chip from the half field mark on to the foot of Persie’s, just outside of the box,

sent a rocket into the side netting, leaving Aston Villa to think, no way of beating Man U today.

Montreal Impact And Vancouver Whitecaps Start MLS 2013 undefeated.

O’ Canada, the MLS is changing power teams?  Not really, good start for these two upstart teams,

however two games into the regular season is way too early to say these two Canadian based teams

will compete for the MLS cup. Montreal starts off in the first 30 minutes with a nice bicycle shot n goal,

and with two goals in hand by the 60 minute mark, Portland could not seem to mount a real come back.

Vancouver Whitecaps also start off 2-0 undefeated in 2013, with a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew.

The Whitecaps put unbelievable pressure on all game. In the first five minutes Daigo Kobayashi hit a 30

yard strike for a long range goal to start off the match right. Kenny Miller finishes the game with a cool

strike to put it away. Hopefully these two teams can keep it up, we will see in late July when playoffs start our discussion.
