Best Answer

A goalkeeper or defender can position himself so as to make it more difficult for a player to score. By doing this or forciing the attacking player away from the goal and towards the endline, it is a tighter angle for the attacker to shoot clearly at the goal. This can be called cutting down the angle.

What does quarter sawed oak mean?

Quarter sawing means cutting at a 90-degree angle from the growth rings on a log to produce a vertical and uniform pattern grain. Kind of like standing the log on end and cutting it first in half, straight down and then cutting those two halves in half. The grain on the face of a quarter-sawn board will be parallel lines that are straight, tight and run the length of the board.

Angles in soccer?

Not sure exactly what you mean...but I guess you could say there are angles in soccer. When your teammate has the ball you have to angle yourself so they have a clear passing lane without a defender being in the way. Also the goalkeeper needs to know angles so they can properly place themselves so they are covering as much of the goal from the forward/striker as possible. They need to make scoring as hard as possible for the opposite team so therefore they want to cut down the angle between the player and the goalkeeper. Hope this helps! :)
