Players, learn to use both feet as soon as you can.

You will have coaches ask you to use both feet your whole life. Soccer players are better players when they are able to use either foot at a split-second's notice. Just ask Laurent Courtois of Chivas USA, who missed a last minute chance to tie the game vs. the Portland Timbers last night...

A simple tap with the inside of the right foot would have done the trick. However, this is left-foot dominant player, and it cost him the glory and his team a place in the standings. (Portland came into the match 2 points behind Chivas, and is now ahead of them)
