Free kick! Twenty-five yards out from goal. Me, me, I'll take it!
OK, up, over, down, in.
Up, over the defensive wall, down enough to beat the goalkeeper in the corner.

Up, over, down, in.
I bounce the ball to calm my nerves.
Up, over, down, in.
The referee blows his whistle – we're ready.

Up, over, down, in.
