Question: 1 / 400

What does it mean to "cut down the angle" in soccer?

Trimming the grass on the field

Making the goal smaller for the opponent

Getting closer and larger to an attacker as a goalkeeper

In soccer, "cutting down the angle" refers to the goalkeeper positioning themselves in a way that reduces the amount of goal an attacker can see and shoot at. By getting closer to the opponent, the goalkeeper effectively makes the goal appear smaller from the attacker's perspective, hence reducing the available space to aim for. This technique makes it more challenging for the opponent to score as the angle to aim at the goal is restricted.

The other options are incorrect as "trimming the grass on the field" is not a soccer tactic, making the goal smaller for the opponent is not a legal or fair strategy, and creating space for a teammate by drawing defenders away is a different concept unrelated to "cutting down the angle" in soccer.
