[align=left]So then why not a kicker/punter? if it´s to much of a problem with injures, then hire some good soccer players doesn´t get injured by kick a ball. David Beckham would perhaps be a good choise or Roberto Carlos[/align] :wink:
Okay, so you're a soccer fan and you're from Sweden. Let me put this into perspective. Saying that Dave Rayner/Mason Crosby can learn to play punter as well as Jon Ryan because they also kick a ball is like saying that Olof Mellberg can replace Ibrahimovic or Allback as a striker on the Swedish national soccer team because they both run around and kick the ball.
Maybe we should replace Daniel Andersson of your hometown club with some cheap American like Landon Donovan. I mean, they both play soccer, what's the difference? :thumbsup:
Kmac....GREAT example!!!
Even though i don't know the players, i understand the point.
Another way of putting it is :The NHL could replace their players with figure skaters! After all, they both just skate around fast on the ice! :thumbsup:
[align=left]ok I got your point guys, but all I´m saying is that a kicker is a kicker and a punter a punter and it require some skill to be good in that postion.
I mean that David Beckham, who by the way will play in Los Angeles next year, had an role in his former club as an excellent free-kicker and he have done many free kick in a single game, more then a kicker, without getting injured. And he is also participating in the game as player tackle and stuff.
So why is not possible for a kicker doing both things when they are doing something so harmless?
Ok you say a punter is a punter and a kicker is a kicker, but it cold be the same with training.
A goalkeeper in soccer were a long time ago just someone who was a leftover who couldn´t play anything else and developed to a exellent athlete, and then many years later is it not rare seeing a goalkeeper taking free kicks and participating in the game in some situations.
A more obvious example on how a postion develop is how the defence players, in soccer, is more and more developing offensive awerness and some of them is a close to a scorer, 50 years ago was that nearly impossible, and ten years ago was it just Brazilian players who did that.
So why can´t Football develop in a similar way?
By the way how did you know about MFF and Daniel Andersson?
