Bazzas right boot Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Not enough toe punts in today's game. Dieing art or good riddince? Imo, the toe punt is a underutilised weapon.

washniklaw Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I’m a fan of these as you can generate decent power very quickly before a keeper ‘sets’ himself. Romario made a career out of that type of finish. I also believe that nutmegs are shockingly overrated by almost everyone. Prefer no nonsense/efficient football.

I agree, although I think a nutmeg finish v the keeper is actually under rated, I think strikers look for it more than they get credit for.

Or 'megs as they now seem to be called. They certianly seem to have become a 'thing' these days that they never used to be. Some of the clips you see online of training sessions where someone nutmegs another are cringeworthy with the whooping, screaching and that moronic high pitched laughing that young men have to do these days.

Samuel Camazzola Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 7 hours ago, i8hibsh said: Toe poke Close thread. Nope. Toe poke is the more subtle technique (like Romario used frequently). A tae punt is the more aggressive form where the ball shoots off and often doesn't have any revolutions. A great weapon for anyone who used to play 'long bangers'. ?

HMFC86 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Never did understand the snobbery around these. Remember scoring a penalty at school and being mocked by the keeper for “toe bashing” it......before he turned around to pick the ball out the net. Weird.
