RootforRoo44 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 "square pass/flat pass" - A ball that is passed on the ground to another teammate, parallel with the center and end lines. Like a cross but not in scoring range. "cross" - a ball that that is played across the mouth of the goal, parallel with the center and end lines, to set up a shot in scoring range. A type of square pass. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 "Match" - game "Header" - hitting the ball with your head "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!" - score Quote
Z.I.P. Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 My fave: Nutmeg -- Putting the ball through the five hole. Not just the keeper's though, any opponent. I remember the crowds at the Coliseum would shout when the Force did it. Quote
Zipmeister Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 "Keeper," "Net-minder," or "Goalie" – The only player on each side that may legally touch the ball with his hands. "Bad Form" – When the goalie is not involved in the play but is still touching balls. Quote
johnnyzip84 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 "In Full Voice" - when supporters of a club are singing/cheering in a well orchestrated manner that is clearly audible BTW, classic response Zipmeister :lol: Quote

w00t Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 "howler" - particularly egregious goalkeeping error that allows a goal (see Soffner's pass out of the back to Mattocks last week or Clint Dempsey's goal on Robert Green during this past summer's World Cup). "challenge" - tackling your opponent in an attempt to win the ball. "the spot" - the 12-yard marker where a penalty kick is taken. "brace" - player scores two goals in a match. Quote

fknbuflobo Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 inf: to clatter Clattering is the sound made when futbol boots meet in anger. To clatter someone is to tackle them ferociously. See Perry Kitchen. Quote
UA Fan Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Posted December 12, 2010 Picked up a couple more: "Mark" - to defend an opposing player "Service" - to kick the ball into the box area where a teammate can hopefully score it Quote
