Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
If a player passes the ball across the field to a teammate out of scoring range, it is not called a "cross", but is called a "square pass"). A crossed ball is usually a "pass to space" (as opposed to a "pass to feet"). Even at the pro level, the passer usually isn’t passing to a specific person; he’s just concentrating on kicking the ball to the front of the goal (often while on the run) because doing so often creates a scoring opportunity. 4, record 3, English, - cross
