Does the verb "to anticipate" make sense in football/soccer?
If so, do you have a correspondent phrasal verb?
Thank you

@paok1970,
Yes, "to anticipate" makes sense in football/soccer.
A simple example is, "the goalie anticipates the direction the ball takes as the kicker strikes it."
In what context are you looking to use the phrasal verb?

@InfraBlue,
No it's not.
We don't have kickers in football.
I'd say,
Three strikers are in the box anticipating a cross.

@izzythepush,
Stop being so sickening and wrongly UK-centric, Izzy.
