if you go for it and drop it…….. im positive most refs will give it is a knock on, dont position your body to cover incade you drop it……… just dont drop it………. guide the ball in with your hands, like a run way, but then cradle it with youtr elbows comin together as you catch it

Both players should …
Both players should be seen to be going for the ball. You should not be going for a player cos he might get the ball before you… this is just a foul on the other player. These attacks are usually unpredictable and useless for all concerned. Best thing to do is time your tackle just as the other guys feet touch the ground, double-leg him and drive forward with your head against his hip. Head against the hip prevents him from turning and in the event of the ball being dropped, it’ll go forward.

The difference between us and china being more than 1/10th of a population size difference. And yes, we’ve introduced sports into the olympics that have large fanbases that don’t think they suck. Relax buddy.

So does China, your sports arent in the olympics because they suck.

No, if they seem …
No, if they seem unable to stop it would be a bad idea to jump, but if they can stop, you jump and if they tackle you, the tackler and opposing team should be punished.
2009 May 25
No they can not, …
No they can not, but often times they still will cause they can’t stop themselves, or don’t realize your in the air. So its best not too, or else you’ll get in the hospital.
