Dutch term

strakke pass

Dutch to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation football
Flemish sports club has put together a glossary of football terms. Just list of words so no context to go on at times. Help/confirmation much appreciated with the following:

strakke, as in:
de pass (verre, laterale, strakke, harde, zachte, hoge lage)
quick pass, straight pass? Or perhaps accurate pass (i.e. well-directed to the feet of a team-mate)? Or perhaps all three? ;-)

tight pass

Ex:
Freshman center midfielder Katie Pesce sparked another MIT goal late in the game when she found junior striker Amy Ludlum with a tight pass that Amy turned past the WPI defense, cut toward goal and lifted over the goalie. The assist was Katie's second of the season. She now has four points on the year.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "'flick pass' was tempting but couldn't find any Dutch confirmation for it. In fact one site talked about 'Strakke trap met binnenkant voet' whereas the glossary cited describes a flick pass as being made with the outside of the foot. So I think this is the best bet. Thanks, everyone."

inch-perfect pass

is what it means... but surely there must be an expression which fits better in your context.

It appears as though some can while otgers cannot read. I am a fair person and a sportsman and stated earlier: great minds think alike I see. I was busy with the answer and after pushing the buton, our popped up. As much as what you agree with me. As explained, I was busy with answering and when I pushed the button, you apperaed!

The question may be asked whether someone agrees with my answer or diusagrees with it.
Note from asker:
You seem to be missing the point of the agree system slightly. Since you gave exactly the same answer as Lianne did (OK, at the same time because you hadn't seen her answer), all you can do is 'agree' with her answer! A 'neutral' makes no sense. Not a criticism - just a comment.
