Should Pochettino consider starting or giving Berhalter significant minutes in order for us to have an effective free kick taker in the World Cup games?

Because we all know that set pieces will be crucial to win some of the games.

Okay, this next question is from Ian via email.

Is the ability to use both feet underrated?

Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard
McKennie Flying High, MLS Transfer Fact & Fiction, and United Rock Arsenal | Unfiltered Soccer

It's so surprising to me that professional soccer players, even at the highest level, often seem incapable of using their weak foot.

You can see in the game that one-footed players often miss opportunities, passes, shots, dribbles because they didn't want to use their weak foot.

It puts them at a disadvantage and makes them more predictable.

So for me, it's refreshing to see two-footed players who have properly trained their weak foot.

DJ via email asks, a lot of teams have begun announcing where they are setting up their headquarters here in the U.S.

for the World Cup.

I was hoping the guys could talk about some of their favorite or least favorite places they stayed during their collective World Cups and why.

Great question.

Should we do a new rule?

I like it.

Okay.

So this new rule comes from Jason via email.

And Jason says that he's always hated on throw-ins when a player takes 10 to 15 extra yards of space, keeps going until the ref decides enough is enough, the player backs up, asks if that's the right spot, then inevitably moves up another five yards.

It's a waste of time, it's arbitrary, and it's annoying.

Here's what I propose.

Outside of the sideline have hash marks every 10 yards, essentially dividing the field into sections.
