Hola AlexGu

"Tirar" is a verb that is often used as is "lanzar"

For example,

• lanzar a canasta - to shoot a basket

• lanzar un tiro libre - to shoot a freethrow

• tirar un triple - to shoot a three

Granted, it's an overly used verb, but "Echar" can also be used in this situation. - 005faa61, MAY 16, 2010

Marca la meta . Anota la meta. He is scoring the goal. This is for football.
