[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1931832, member: 85743"] Honestly the spot they have it is probably the most fair for either side. And really it's only used in knockout rounds of tournament play. I have a friend whose a former goalkeeper and he said he's surprised players don't get more upper 90 (as in top left or right corner of the goal) as it's the one spot you're virtually guaranteed that the keeper won't be able to stop it. That being said, it's also possible that a player overshoots the net and completely misses, which is why they go for the lower risk plays closer to the ground. [/QUOTE]
