Can someone please explain to me the advantage of taking a short corner?
They have the opportunity to get a cross in and yet loads of premiership teams pass it about 5 yards to a team mate to cross it, even though that player will have a defender closing him down. doesn't make any sense to me.
Answers:
At a "standard" corner where a high, swinging ball is delivered into the box, each defender will have his own individual forward that they are meant to be marking closely... when a striker makes a sudden run towards the far post, his marker will go with him, and so on.
But a short corner can create additional problems for the defence...does one man leave "his" forward to challenge the player now delivering the cross from a closer distance? Do they sit back, stay in position and let the cross come in at a better attacking angle? If a defender comes out to close the man down, thats one less defender in the box.
Its about increasing confusion amongst the defence and improving attacking options.

Maybe it's not advantageous, but it serves the purpose of mixing it up a little. You don't want to do the same thing over and over again, or else the opposing team will develop a strategy to stop it. You wouldn't want to throw all fastballs in baseball, so you toss a changeup or a curve sometimes ... it's all about keeping the other team guessing.Who will be the highest goal scorer in premiership?

Am i the first female to top the yahoo football top scorer chart?
For me, I actually love doing that ... That's b'coz I want my team mate to go where I want him to go... By then, he can pick up speed to get the ball and pass it to another team mate and avoid the defender. That's what my coach told me when I was still a kid.Introduce me a website about: why do we have less fans todays in premier league in uk?
When you take a long corner, it's curving round into the box, giving the opposing team and specially goalie time to see where it's going and get to the ball and clear it away. I think a short corner works on the principle that the second player can send the ball straight in to the box towards the goal, and then it's like a free kick from out on the wing - generally any deflection on the ball will divert it past the keeper and in. Also, it confuses the defence and gives attackers more chance of slipping their markers.Does anyone have pics of Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham or any other hot person?
Normally there is no wall to block a corner kicks. Which is an advantage for the kicker. Most of the players are around the goal to try to put the crossed ball into the net. In any case if your team mate is not covered , the kicker can pass the ball to him from the corner post. The advantage of this "setplay" is that you create a better angle for the cross and possibility increase to score directly from that position.Personally i believe the short corner has the advantage of you keeping possession longer.
Hitting a long ball in leaves the outcome less reliable than a short corner. A short corner could also help pull a player out of position leaving more space for someone else.
It also goes a ways to wasting time.
