When a team scores more than four goals in a match, that team is called a hat-trick. The term ‘Hollywood pass’ refers to a long-rage pass. Other terms you might hear are ‘Tie the game’ and ‘Haul’.
‘Hollywood pass’ is a long-rage pass
A Hollywood pass is a long-rage pass that cuts through the opposition’s line and finds an open teammate. It is also known as a through ball or a killer pass. While a majority of Hollywood passes are inaccurate, they are sometimes successful if the team’s luck is on their side.
‘Hat-trick’ award for scoring more than four goals in a match
A soccer match hat-trick award is given to a player who scores four or more goals in one match. It is considered a tremendous accomplishment and a player deserves to be celebrated for it. If you see a soccer player score a hat-trick, give them a standing ovation. You never know, the player may score another one next week.
‘Tie the game’
It is common for soccer games to be tied, and in fact, 40 percent of games end that way. A draw is just as acceptable as a win, and can even happen during playoff games. In these cases, both teams get one point for drawing. During these games, it is important to follow the game as closely as possible, so you can keep up with any updates.
‘Tunel’
In soccer, the term ‘Tunel’ refers to the space before the pitch. It can also refer to tension between the opposing teams or nerves before a big match. The most famous stadium is Wembley Stadium in London. However, it is not the home ground of any team. During games, there is often a banner or message draped in the tunnel to support a specific player or protest the management.
‘Free kick’
The term free kick is a common soccer term. It refers to a goal-scoring opportunity for a player who scores directly from a kick. Unlike indirect free kicks, which are used after a ball has been in the opponent’s goal area for a certain amount of time, a direct free kick does not require the ball to touch another player or anything in order to be scored. Most free kicks awarded in soccer are direct, which is why they are the most common.
‘Handball’
Handball is a soccer term describing an infraction in which a player touches the ball with their hands. Goalkeepers are exempt from the handball rule. A player who intentionally causes a handball offense can be given a yellow or red card.
‘Haul’
If you’ve scored four goals in a single game, you’ve scored a ‘Haul.’ Similarly, if you score two goals and one goal in the next game, you’ve scored a ‘Brace’. Both terms are also used in soccer, but not all sports use them.
‘Tiki-taka’
The ‘Tiki-Taka’ soccer style is a style of play in which players interchange positions fluidly and accurately. It was developed by Andres Montes and has since gained widespread popularity in soccer. When played well, Tiki-Taka can lead to a staggering number of goals.
