Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4092737, member: 6927"] And most free kicks are not realistically shots on goal. In most cases it's more about putting the ball in play to set up teammates, more akin to an in-bounds play in basketball (such as would happen after a common foul before reaching the bonus). Soccer is also a game where scoring is so rare that a large number of contests end in scoreless ties. If scoring were as difficult in basketball, I could maybe see an argument for allowing teams to designate their free throw shooter for every FT. [/QUOTE]
