"An indirect kick, you cannot be the only person that touches the ball before it goes into the goal. What I mean is, you could potentially shoot the ball and bounce it off of your opponent.

A smart goalie will just let it go in. He barely touched it there, so that's a goal. You could do the same off a wall and you can do the same thing off of somebody marking up by the goal. Usually there's a defender on the post."
