You wanna bet ? You mean give the ball a certain effect so that it's kinda spinning and makes a curve, right ? I can do that with my bare feet.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I can curve the ball with bare feet too. I think it's called the banana shot.

no, it's not that. that banana shot is easy even a 4 year old can do that. the thing I said is hard to describe. why don't you come over and I'll show you johnny. :D

Oh sorry I didn't know even a 4 year-old could do that. I'll keep a look out for you at the next world cup then, Pele.

Hm...i think its practice that makes you better...i would suck if it wasn't for my hours of practice...but nifty shoes are nice too

That would be Edson Arantes Do Nakakero. :D

Never heard of him. Sounds like a sorted geezer though.

Actually I am player/ manager for kashima antlers for 5 season and won everything. I was also the league top scorer for 5 season also. The japan FA see that I'm so good and they hire me as the japanese national team manager. Of course I guided japan to win the world cup 2002 when japan beat england 3 - 1 in final. I was the top scorer for that tournament. I think I scored 17 goals. See? I'm that good no? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh wait, this is championship manager. silly me. :D

Of course you've heard of him. It's Pele's full name, except i changed Nascimento into NaKakero, see ? :D

johnny is perfectly right, if you suck you suck :D
Better equipment mostly makes a difference for advanced or pro players, but at amateur level it's not that big a deal UNLESS as Vaskez stated correctly you are using lowest quality which will affect you even at novice level.
Compare it to online-shooters:
If you play counter-strike on a P90 with onboard graphics your game will lag and you will suck!
If you play it on an adequate system you can rise high if you have the talent.
Once you get to the pro level even such little things as improved mousepads will be able to give you a further edge over other players as talented as you. But better players you won't catch even if your system is high end and your mouse glides on a hoverpad :D
