    I have heard TV pundits describe what great ball control a player has when describing how well a player kept the ball and I was always told to practice my ball control.

    Handling is also a very big and specific thing that GK's practice.
    I would do your homework before trying to take on me my friend. So you have never heard a pundit say " oh he handled that well" ? Even google it if you must! Anyone that knows there football in-depth will know and agree with me.

    The word Handling is more of an American football term but still my points remains the same.

    I think after 15 years involved in professional football ive more than done my homework my friend.

    When have you heard a pundit describe a players ball control as 'handling'? When have you heard a pundit say "what great handling that player showed" when a player has shown great ball control?

    And if you play this on your PC and look in the top right hand corner you will see it ask what language you wish to use and in that you will see the British flag next to the english language which means this game is written in the Queen's English not American English.

    Im not going to get into a long drawn out debate about something that is so minor and obvious. It just tickled me that after "after 15 years involved in professional football" you did't know that 'Handling' is a training/tactical term used in both England and America in regards to all players on the pitch.
