Soccer Players With an 'A'? - Born on 6th October, 1967, this towering Swede made his professional debut with IFK Eskilstuna in the 1985-86 season. In 1989, he moved to IFK Gothenburg. After much travelling playing for clubs in Belgium and France, he settled in Italy with Bologna, then Lazio. In 2000, he signed for Fenerbahce. Perhaps the most well known of facts were his 5 goals in the 1994 World Cup finals, where he helped Sweden to a 3rd place finish. Who is he?
The correct answer is 'Kennet Andersson'
Although not as prolific infront of goal as some, Andersson had the height to worry the best of defenders. Between 1985-89, he scored 18 goals in 76 games for Eskilstuna. Three seasons with Gothenburg followed with 29 goals in 63 games, before playing for KV Mechelen in Belgium, Lille in France, then Norrkoping (Sweden), and back to France with Caen in the 1994-95 season. 12 goals in 33 games for Bari earned him a transfer to Bologna, where he played 114 games and scored 33 goals. In the 2000-01 season, he regained a little of that scoring touch, when he netted 11 goals in 29 games for Fenerbahce in Turkey. Andersson's international career was a little better than his domestic one, as he played 78 times, scoring 31 goals in the process.

Soccer Question 6
Soccer Tactics - Your substitue makes a great pass to your striker and he scores! 1 all! What a great tactical decision! What now?
The correct answer is 'Keep playing the way you have been'
Well done! The game is back in your hands. Now, if your team has been dominating all game, chances are, you're doing the right things. So keep playing the way you are, with a good balance between attack and defence. If you go all out attacking, the other team could make a quick counter attack and finish your season. If you go all out defensively, you run the risk of not taking advantage of the fact the other team has to go all out attacking due to the fact they only have one substitution left.
