Obj: Tight-angle finishing craft — the byline-adjacent, near-post-pinched chances where geometry says no and craft says maybe: the toolbox for bad angles (the chances the box actually serves). Field: Box's flanks and byline angles, goal + GK. Equip: Goal, balls, cones. Org: Finishing from deliberately terrible angles (served and dribbled entries at 10–25 degrees), the solutions drilled as a menu: (1) the near-post LOW stab (the GK's near hip is the only door — hit it hard and low before he sets); (2) the far-post CUT (the across-goal stroke needs one step's re-angle — the touch that buys 5 degrees, then G-05's stroke); (3) the PULL-BACK REFUSAL (when the angle's truly dead, the cutback to arriving mates IS the finish — G-14's humility, scored equally here); (4) the GK-BAIT (show near, roll far through his opened legs/around — the nutmeg economy at angles, U15+). CP: (1) Bad angles are DECISIONS first: strike, re-angle, or refuse — the read in one touch (D-18's odds at the goalmouth); (2) low beats high doubly at angles (the short-side roof shot is a photograph; the low stab is a goal); (3) the refusal is a finisher's stat (assists from refused angles counted WITH goals in this session — selflessness metered). Prog: Defender pressure on the entry (the angle shrinks AND the clock runs); GK plays his true craft (I-05's angle-play vs. our solutions — the honest war). Reg: Angles widened; menu called pre-rep. Mist: P: the roof-shot addiction (spectacular twice a season, wide forty times — the data shared); C: never scoring the refusal (option 3 ungraded becomes invisible). Time: 14 min. Out: Angle menu owned; refusal normalized as craft; near-post stabs and far cuts both banked. Var: Futsal-angles version (A-32's winter block — angles are futsal's native land). Diag: Byline-adjacent chance with four solution arrows: near-low stab, re-angle touch then far cut, pull-back to an arriving mate, and the bait-roll — each tagged with its read condition.
