Okay, here's the thing. 

Kicker isn't a game that can be played in the traditional 'text adventure' sense by solving puzzles, scoring points, and making it to the end. Rather, you're just a kicker on a football team and there's a game going on.

You can still do stuff, such as talking to people, practicing, or drinking sports drink. You can still score points, if you manage to kick an extra point or a field goal. And of course you can win or lose the game, depending on how your team does.

In short, it's your life to live, kicker.
