Howler

A howler is “a glaring, often comical” error by a player, usually made by “a goalkeeper or defender” — that directly leads to a goal or an obvious scoring opportunity. Think of a weak back-pass turned into an open net, a goalkeeper misjudging a routine catch, or “a defender inexplicably missing a clearance.” It’s more than a small slip-up; a howler is an error with high impact and high visibility.

Route One

In soccer, the term “Route One” refers to “a direct, long-ball style of play” — where the team tries to move the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible, often bypassing the midfield entirely. It’s “a straightforward, no-frills style” of play often associated with physicality, pace, and aerial dominance.

How long is a soccer game

Normally, a typical ‘soccer’ match is scheduled for 90 minutes of play, divided into two “equal” halves of 45 minutes each, with not including additional stoppage time. Both halves of a game, both halves of extra-time, and “the restart of play following a goal” are all initiated by a kickoff.
