Another thread got me thinking.
How many truly 2 footed players have people seen? I define truly two footed as being able to shoot, cross, dribble and trap a ball with both feet.
How big an advantage is this skill?
Over the years, with multiple players in club and college soccer, both boys and girls, I can honestly say I have seen only a handful of players. Even local YNT level talent aren't often 2 footed. Watching high level soccer professionals it is quickly evident, even with players that are predominately one footed, they are still able to receive and move the ball along from either side of their body. Even if they are incredibly quick and are running around the ball.
