OK.

Thank you, you explained it.

So this is just like when an NFL player gets the ball, then runs in the wrong direction. No, not exactly, because then it would be a two point touchback...

Happens all the time!

(Soccer is so fn stupid...)

If you’re going to watch a type of football that isn’t from the US, I’d suggest rugby instead; NFL-type football was developed from that.

Yep, you just about got it...
We watch World Cup futbol around here but would pass on an American League kind of play...
At least in American football you see some progress toward a goal...or not.
But futbol is a game of 90 minutes of intense boredom interrupted by 2 seconds of excitement...

Soccer was invented by European woman who needed something to do while their men did the cooking. oh, yeah, I hate soccer.
