Table Football

You certainly know this one : the false pass.

The forward winger makes a lateral pass to the forward center. A nervous opponent will quickly move the goal keeper and the defender in order to prevent the forward center to shoot. This will create an opportunity for the winger to shoot in the hole created by the move of the goal keeper. This can be done very smoothly.

Next time, the winger makes the same pass and let the forward center shoot.

Curiously, this post is right on topic

Disagree, I use this move this all the time, but a good player can read it, combined with a stepover or another such simular trick and it might fool a good player. To someone who doesnt play it looks wonderful and people think it's an amazing skill but in reality this move is too easy to antipate (the exception is where you can use your strikers very effectively to hit the ball diagonally, which is something i am not great at).

When the person can do 10 passes back and forth in a couple of seconds, it's harder to defend.
And as you say, coupled with the diagonal shot, it's a killer combo.

I am the worlds worst table football player. I've only ever played a few games and when I'd only played a few games of pool I was similarly crap but I don't really have any motivation to get any better at it really.

The killer score move has always been to do the inside pass between your men in the front row back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, (as many times as it takes to get the goalie out of position), then wrist slam it home. All the best players here can do it and it is quite effective. It takes a great defenseman to stop it consistently.

Blah, old hat! Come back when you got game!

yep.

It has been awhile since I played for money, so I guess new strats have been invented. But when the guy had both those shots and could do them from the same move, it was tough.

I never play pool for money, I'm not good enough.

Not that I couldn't win games against people I don't know who want to play for money but I won't win enough.

4 hours sleep last night, didn't sleep properly the night before either. I'm really feeling it now. Surprised I can type at all.

You need to drink more.

It's 'cause I'm giving up smoking.

If you can make sure that you can't get hold of any fags, get hammered. It makes the cravings worse and you don't care its a bit weird but it works

[MikeH]

Yes, I know but I don't like doing that. I'll be alright tonight anyway.

Ming, can you tell me about Marketing/Sales in Chicago?
If i was educated to degree level would this be good enough to gain immigration(I am currently studying for this) ?? Would a further qualifaction such as a Masters be required?

No... it probably wouldn't be enough to gain immigration.
While there are always marketing/sales jobs available, it's at an all time low right now.

The trick would be to find a company in you country that actually has a sales office in Chicago or is looking to set up a sales office there (or any US city for that matter). Apply their and tell them you would like to work in Chicago... That's the fastest way to get into the country... let them do all the paperwork for you.

And a Masters Degree never hurts. Not really needed in a good economy... but these days...
