I got everything right. I knew some of them before but I wasn't very sure about the exact meaning.

I got 9 out of 10.I did a good job indeed learning new words.Last year Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a bicycle kick goal which was rewarded by FiFA as the best 2013 goal.In football a good defender has to know how to clearance a ball to put it away from his goal,always to the side,never straight.In today's football curling a ball is easier than It was in the past because the ball now is lighter.Of course, along with good technique.
Doing keepy-uppies is good to have a better ball control and volley goals are great ones that I enjoy watching.
I also learnt a key word like side-foot
