Better than being outside in 90+ degrees...<br /><br />Someone, i think maybe paddy from the SL tribune comment section, mentioned how US players have terrible first touches. Today i agree with him, and i would like to add that mls players seem to be taking first touches when they ought to be first-timing the ball into the back of the net.<br /><br />Time and again (Laurent Merlin comes to mind) i saw brilliant through passes that split the defense, only to have the forward touch the ball once or twice and give the 'keeper and the defense time to close in. Shoot the damn ball!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8614570814289577997-4513506577360594075?l=randrsoccer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Daniel Harringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12549025794653942637noreply@blogger.com1
