It's Finally Time To Talk About 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.

Jockey him for the ball and make sure that if he does get the cross in it will not be without a lot of effort on his part. This should make it easier for one of your players to get his head to the ball and clear it away from danger.

Another way, in which you can defend a cross that is already coming in, is by taking control of one of the players inside the danger area. You should then be on the lookout for an "X" sign which will be placed on the field indicating where the ball will land. You should move towards this sign and then when the ball is about to land, press the shoot button so that the defender clears the ball.

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.

This will take some practice though, but off course you must practice in Internet mode. You should also make sure that the indicator is set to move on the "normal" setting. Where you press the button will be affected if you indicator movement settings are on "slow."

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.
