It Is Time To Talk Some More On FIFA 11 Tournaments Online

Crossing is one of the most frequently used methods to score a goal in FIFA 11. It is useful to know how to defend these crosses properly, especially when playing in the online arena because competition is stiffer there. Crosses can come from the flanks or from corner kicks. There is no 100 percent fool-proof way to defend against corners and crosses, but there are ways in which you can make it more difficult for the opposition to score in these circumstances. Let us tell you more on FIFA 11 tournaments online.

One way I like to stop the team I am playing against from whipping in dangerous balls is by closely manning the player in the wide areas who is about to cross. By sticking with him, you will make it less comfortable for him to cross and as a result his crosses will be less accurate. This increases the likelihood of your players getting their heads to the ball first and clearing it away.

Another way I like to prevent crosses coming in from the wide areas is by quickly fouling. This is useful when the opposite team has just broken away and you are short of numbers at the back. Fouling will give you time to get some reinforcements at the back, although you should be prepared to be penalized with a yellow card.

If you are having trouble with FIFA and defending crosses, then you should definitely try these methods of defending out. Sometimes is could be useful to foul a player if he is not inside the box, especially if you do not have many reinforcements at the back.

Of course, you should make sure that you foul the player outside of the 18 yard area. You should also be prepared to accept an appropriate sanction for whatever challenge you make. Usually you will receive a yellow card for such an offence.

Another method of defending a cross ball is by taking control of a player in the 18 yard area and then when the ball is being crossed by the opposition player you should be on the lookout for an "X" mark on the pitch. This should indicate where the ball is going to hit the ground. You should be in close proximity to this mark and when the ball is about to land there, you should be prepared to clear it away by using the shoot button.

If you have been playing in a tournament you may have to go through the process of taking penalty kicks to decide the outcome of a game. You should know that there is a bit of lag time between when you press the buttons on the controller and when you actually get a response from the game, when playing in online mode.

In other words, taking a spot kick in offline mode is different from taking a spot kick in online mode. You should be aware of this and so, when the indicator speed is set to "normal", whilst in Internet mode, you should aim to press the shoot button when the indicator is in the red and orange area on the right hand side of the screen. In order for you to take a good penalty kick the indicator must land in the green area and it should if you press the shoot button quite early.
