You kick it!
This phrase appears to be a straightforward instruction rather than a traditional joke. It simply states the primary action performed with a soccer ball, which is “kicking” it. In soccer, players use their feet to kick the ball to pass between teammates, advance towards the goal, and score. The humor could be derived from the expectation of a punchline when posed as a question, but instead, the answer is literal and anticlimactic. It plays on the setup-and-punchline structure of a joke, but subverts the expectation by providing a direct and obvious answer, which can be amusing in its simplicity and the surprise of not being a conventional joke.
