Goal! Goal! Goal!!!

So now that the "striker type" was covered in a previous post (scroll down a few), it only made sense to cover the different "goal types" can that scored.

1. Team Goal

These involve large amounts of "passing", i.e. great assistance from your cohorts. They tend to be well set up, and need a great amount of skill on the part of both the cohorts and the "striker". Great for replays.

2. Crosses & Through Balls

These are heavily reliant on the expertise of the cohort, & normally occur in cases of heavy cockblocking abound. The cohort splits the defence with a brilliant through pass or cross. The "striker" then latches on to this opportunity to score accordingly.

3. Long range scorchers

These are goals that one has no business scoring. More often done in blind hope due to lack of success in approach play. Cockblockers move out of the way of these ones, less they lose a limb. As they say, a desperate man...

4. Free Kicks

These are of two types: the finesse and the brute force. They always start with an "infringement", a breakdown in the chipsing attempt. After a huddle with the cohorts, the "striker" unleashes a powerful striker. Or a cohort sets up a dummy run to distract cockblockers, leaving the "striker" free to score.

5. Penalty

A grevious mistake on the part of a cockblocker results in a one on one chance with the target. These are deceptive, and overconfidence leads to a weak attempt that WILL be saved. Best to pick a "spot", i.e. tactic, then hit hard & true.

6. Rebound

This is from the previous attempt of another "striker". They almost made it but great cockblocking foiled them. Or the lady who was with her chap all night just had a falling out with him. The opportunity is still there for a moment, so the expert "poacher" pounces.

7. Individual Goal

This is the preserve of the highly skilled individual. The striker dribbles past several "defenders" before easing the ball into the back of the 'net. Never a forceful endeavour, it is an exhibition of finesse.

Whew, and that's that. My inner 5yr old keeps running rampant. Now that he has been appeased, I can go back to the important things. Like cartoons!

Do enjoy your weekend.
