A penalty! The goalkeeper wonders into which corner it will go. If he knows the opposing player, he knows the kicker's favorite corner, but the kicker knows he knows. So the goalkeeper wonders if he might choose the other corner this time. But the kicker knows that, too, so maybe he'll go for his favorite. And so on and so on. (Peter Handke, The Goalkeeper's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, 1970)
