Game 2:
Woo hoo! The game went well today. I trained almost every day with my little brother and alone doing little drills (working on jockeying definately helped) and I can say that it has paid off. I played with a lot more confidence and my pass success rate was significantly better. I kept my eye open on my players, and for open areas on the field. The advice posted here is really helping. I'm not saying I was carrying the team, but I did improve which I think is great. I'm looking forward to playing next week.
One thing I want to know how to do properly is the offsides trap well. I always try to stay between my man and sometimes find that I'm the furthest defender back and sometimes very close to the goalie. Should I just stay up so my man is offsides? I recently learned the concept of the offside trap, but don't know when or how to properly use it.
Also, receiving passes and trapping the ball are things I need to work on. Any good drills that I should work on for these specific skills?
