A wee rant. Wherever I watch football, Scotland, down south or even the Euro games, the amount of time a promising situation peters out to nothing coz the player in possession only uses 1 foot frustrates me. Yeah, I get how players are allocated positions to play given their favoured foot but the ball isn't going to come to you the way you want all the time. Why can't coaches, domestic or international, get players to practice with their weaker foot? It's not rocket science.

Ryan Porteous can certainly use both feet.

Lukaku is a prime example, how pro players are allowed to be so one footed is beyond me. They should be practicing in training to be equally as good with both feet.

Most top footballers are blessed one good foot . Coaches who are trying to develop these good footballers are not going to risk his top projects by upsettIng his way of setting himself up to receive a ball to partially improve his weaker foot . There are only a very small number of people who are ambidextrous, many of these have ambidextrous hands and feet and they can be coached to use either equally well.

{Ed007's Note - Kids should be learning to control the ball with both feet before they have ever meet a footballing coach. You wouldn't tell a kid who wants to box he only needs to use one arm because he can't punch with his left.}
