The horseshoe. Football fans in the UK never cease to baffle continental supporters about what they consider applause-worthy during a game.
A cushioned header back to the goalkeeper when under no pressure? Always well received. And we will often explode with a roar of encouragement when our team wins a corner, regardless of how often they actually result in a goal. One of the other main examples of this is when a midfielder opens his/her body out and switches play to the other side, again when under little pressure from the opposition.
