Quite possibly. Spain U19 star Ezequiel Calvente shows just how it should be done by scoring an audacious 'switch-hit' penalty against Italy at the U19 European Championships in France.

The Real Betis midfielder beats the Italian keeper with ease after running up to seemingly hit the spot kick with his right foot only to surprise everyone by hitting with his left.

It's a new technique that has never really been seen at the top level before - perhaps it will catch on for the start of the new season?

Co-sign. To me Dwarika was more accurate doing that than with his normal long passes.

D man was sickkkkkkkkkk

We qualified 16 yrs before the US did... but you wouldn't know anything about that.

And no, 1966 doesn't count.

We qualified by beating Haiti 5-2 in the CONCACAF Championship in Port-au-Prince in December 1973. Before it became known as the Gold Cup, this Championship also doubled as the World Cup qualifier and would have earned us the right to play in West Germany 1974. We should have won with the best record and most goals for, on the back of former NASL great Steve David (who I'm certain you've never heard of), but four of the goals were inexplicably disallowed and Haiti eventually prevailed, not just in that game, but in the Championship/qualifier as well.

I fully expect you to further demonstrate your ignorance and come back with talk about this just being sour grapes.

Interesting story. I did not know that.

However, you're horribly mistaken if you think that 1990 was the first World Cup that the U.S. ever qualified for.

Maybe he means qualified as opposed to invited? Cuz u cant really get any earlier than playing in the first World Cup game ever lol.

There's no 'maybe'... Zeppo's just acting as though he doesn't understand what "qualified" means. Maybe if I had said 1950 instead of "1966" the point would have been clearer.

Although I am a football history ball jumbie, I still not update date on the qualification/invitation scenario. I know in the first WC and a couple after that, the teams used to be invited. In the first WC most Euro teams declined. It too far, the conditions to primitive, etc, etc. When the WC start to be a hit, more countries wanted to play and they started qualifications. Had the US ever quaklfied before 1990. Did they get an invite for the Brasil 1950 or did they qualify. How may times did get invitation and how many times did they qualify?
