When I was younger I thought that whenever the ball went over the goal line in football it was a corner, regardless of who kicked it out. This meant that instead of a goal kick, you had to cross the ball into your own box! I never let the ball run out for a goal kick because of this. Not great cos I was playing for the school team at the time!
