In most cases, do you pray before they launch it down the field, or pray while it is in flight?
Maybe you are just hoping that the ground ball went to a ‘short-stick’ who can run like the wind, and you begin to wave your arms like a windmill, personally cheering him down the length of the field.
Or maybe, you coach your goalie to simply look up and heave it as far as possible, hoping it does not hit a whip in his stick and go 25 yards to an opposing midfielder.
Or maybe the ball ends up in the stick of a player who has yet to make a successful dodge this season, so for this one time, the odds are in his favor.
