neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: "situation" (as in deadball situation) maybe, but I don't think they'd be called events in football//If it's aimed at fans of football, I'd say the correct football terminology is fairly important. ;-)

  -> I am by no means an expert on the subject, but I think the text has less to do with football per se than with gaming in general, in which case I think "event" is probably quite appropriate ... but I'm certainly willing to be persuaded otherwise!

Explanation:
Since it's a game, I would suggest a chess analogy.

Alternatively you could re-phrase it:

decide which of the available options you wish to start the game with: throw-in, corner kick, etc.
