Let's look at **//slide tackling//**:

There are rules that make good slidetackling:


 * 1) NEVER slide tackle from the back, if you don't want to get carded
 * 2) When slide tackling from the side, always aim for in front of the ball. If the slide tackle blocks the ball from going further, hte opponent, will most likely trip over the ball, and then your team has posession.

If you have the ball way inside your own penalty, you might as well clear th ball to be safe. If you give the ball away in the penalty area, your team is in danger.

If you outsize the opponents forwards, make sure you use your size as an advantage.

Remember: Don't be afraid to slide tackle in your own penalty box.

Defending Crosses:

When a cross comes, your always want to just kick or head the ball the other way.If not, just settle for a corner kick and head or kick the ball out.
