Foosball - How Many Points If The Goalie Scores?

foosball-goalie I've had a few players approach me claiming that if you score with your goalie with out touching any other players then it is considered a goal worth two points.

Well girls and boys, I hate to break it to you, but in the official foosball rules, a goalie goal is just a regular goal worth only one point. 

If you are playing recreationally and you agree to  have goalie points count for two I suppose there is no harm in it, but don't plan on going anywhere where your opponents are anal about the rules because they will quickly shut you down on this one!

How to Make A Pull Shot In Foosball

pulls hot The pull shot in foosball is one of the first offensive tactics you should master. It allows you to get past your opponents defense, and also is great for learning basic ball control.  I won't waste your time... I'll get straight to the meet and potatoes of this article: How to Make A Pull Shot In Foosball

First of all, press your 3 bar all the way to the wall. Next make sure the ball is positioned next to the middle man on your 3-bar. This is the beginnings of the making of a pull shot.

Next, pull the bar towards you, this is what will allow you to pass the defense when playing a real opponent. You should then rotate your wrist to allow the middle man to lift and move him behind the ball.

You are almost ready to shoot! Gently tap the ball to prevent it from bouncing then firmly grab the 3-bar and snap your wrist causing the ball to go flying towards your opponents goal at lighting speeds.

If you’ve pulled this off correctly you should have had no problem passing the defense and scoring a goal that will be remembered by foosball aficionados for years to come!

If you can't comprehend what I'm saying, I've attached a video to make it more simple for you!
