Wow ... you really count intercepted shots as shots?

Er, yeah. That’s what the stats count them as. A shot is a shot.

These are obviously called Schrödinger's shots. The striker kicks the ball towards the goal and no-one knows if it is a shot or not a shot until it strikes a defender.  

Goal line clearances are also a bit weird. If it hits the defender it wasn't a shot but if the defender fails to intercept it then is it still a goal?

I think I'll go and feed the cat ...

Now why would you do that? What makes you even think it's alive?

I have absolutely no idea. Apparently the cat is self-isolating  ...

@Numpty

Basically, yes. If the defender blocks the shot, it counts as intercepted which is not a shot. If he fails, it counts as a shot and in some cases it counts as a OG.

This was my last active match here.  It has been enough.  You can lose a game in which you are better, but this is the 4th match this season. Have a good time.

He would post here because he had more shots on goal than you and still lost clearly. Maybe you had chance just because he scored very early and got scoring penalty otherwise would press you more.

@Sale:

To be fair, I can get frustrated with opponents scoring with their first shot as well, but in this case you went on to win a fairly even match in the last ten minutes, courtesy of an own goal late on. Not such a bad result, to look on the bright side.

Shots are deceiving , if you score fast you will get less shots later

@Joddit

But it's still annoying how common this thing is. It almost looks like it is scripted that sometimes you must receive/score a goal from the first shot. And I doubt that my opponents used "go for quick lead" tactic.
