"Then get a shot"
Get a shot? When he gives one? I ain't askin', I'm just askin'. It's simple: Faldage's "get a shot " means "obtain a photo" (or "take a picture"). If the player "gets a shot" or "has a shot," he has an opportunity to score, whether or not he takes the shot. If he scores, he makes the shot. Generally a doctor or nurse gives a shot, in which case the recipient gets a shot. See? Simple! So you could get a shot of the player getting a shot after getting a shot. Or the other way round.

See? You Americans still can laugh at yourselves and sometimes you should. I should know as I am a American too but not a American male so I don't laugh with them but at them. They are a strange bunch.

As an English, male, one-time follower of 'the beautiful game,' [i.e., Soccer (Association Foorball)] may I say that tsuwm has it right - the player "takes a shot" at the goal. Leastwise, he does in English - and we did invent the game!

And by "get a shot" I did mean "obtain a photograph".

Yes thank you, that was adequately explained by Tromboniatior xept that the last phrase was bit confusing and Geenny Geenny added off track bastions. Thanks for clearing this simple language matter.
