When a one-sided match ends in an exceptionally high and unexpected score it is often referred to as resembling the runs scored in a cricket match.

Mocking term for putting crosses in with no plan and hoping something happens. "Inshallah" means "God willing" in Arabic - you're basically praying the ball falls kindly. Used to criticize teams that just launch crosses at the box when they can't break down a defence, especially if they don't have anyone good in the air to aim at.

Shape to pass or shoot, then drag the ball behind your standing leg with the inside of your foot and spin away. Named after Johan Cruyff, who did it to Swedish defender Jan Olsson at the 1974 World Cup and left him completely fooled. The trick is that your body says one thing while doing another. It's taught to kids everywhere now because it's simple and it works.

A pass from the byline back into the penalty area, usually toward the edge of the six-yard box. The crosser gets to the end line and pulls it back to an arriving teammate. Cutbacks are high-percentage chances because the ball is traveling away from the goalkeeper, making it easier to finish. Modern teams create cutbacks constantly because the xG from them is excellent.
