Seems to be a lack of decent England songs around – considering we are going to the world cup – but I did hear this on YouTube -http://alturl.com/urco

Dino, I learned it the same way, but I’m American so maybe that’s my issue. I learned the step over is where you pass your left foot over the ball from left to right (so it looks like you’re striking the ball with the inside of your left foot before the foot passes over the ball), then take the ball in the opposite direction with the outside of your left foot (or the inside of your right foot if the pacing works that way). A scissor is where your left foot goes inside then around the ball counterclockwise (as we Americans say) then you take the ball in the opposite direction with the outside of your right foot.

it doesn’t have to touch an attacking player…just any player on the field outside the penalty box. I would have thought the ref should allow a retake. But I understand Gary’s argument as well. Did they allow this goal? the video just shows celebration and ends. Please tell me the ref did something about that goal, it is just as bad as Henry’s hand of god goal.

Corner kick. Ball was in play at the point the whole of the ball passed outside of the penalty area. Since the kicking team cannot score on itself by kicking directly (no other player touching the ball) into their own goal, then the situation is treated as if it was kicked over the goalline by the kicking team, resulting in a corner kick for the other team.

Should have been a re take of the goal kick.

Has to touch a player of the attacking team
