1 kicked: "Kicked" is the best choice here. The verb "to kick" means to strike with your foot. This is not the same use of the term as in the broadcast, when Enrique says "we're not ready for kick off just yet". In this context, the term "kick off" is the start or beginning of play in a sports match, and the expression "to kick off (an event)" is to "start" or "begin" it!
2 legs: "Legs" is the best choice here. The legs are the lower limbs of the body, used for movement and support among other things! In the broadcast, this term is used in a different way. Enrique says "I'm here to cover the second leg of the Champions League semi-final". In this sporting context, a "leg" is a "round" or one of a series of contests to be played.
3 foot: "Foot" is the best choice here. The "feet" (note the irregular plural form) are found at the very bottom of the legs, and used for kicking things such as footballs and small dogs. In the broadcast, Enrique is reporting on a "football" match.
4 feet: This is correct. "Feet" is the plural form of the term "foot". This is one of the many irregular plural nouns in English. Here is a non exhaustive list of others: Mouse --> mice, tooth --> teeth, sheep --> sheep.

Philip mentions an ostrich, which is a type of large bird native to Africa.
Let's learn more about birds, shall we?
Birds have two , which extend from the body and allow most of them to fly. Airplanes also have them, though they don't move up and down. Hint: Although the ostrich has two of them, it still can't fly.

1 wings: "A wing" is the moveable appendage which most birds use for flying. We also use the term to refer to the "wings" of airplanes and other aircraft, or even to refer to extensions or areas within a building (the West wing of the White House for example). The ostrich has a pair of wings which are mostly for show in mating rituals and to frighten predators. They are vestigial limbs and don't grant the birds the gift of flight. What a shame! To learn more about the ostrich, visit your local aviary or zoo or consult an ornithologist.
2 beak: A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak. In this conversation, Philip believes he sees a bird in one of Donna's inkblot cards, but then says that it is actually a woman with a sharp nose (which reminded him of a bird's beak).
3 feathers: "Feathers" make up the plumage of a bird. They are epidermal growths which emerge from the bird's body. Feathers are the distinguishing feature of birds and set them apart from all other classes of animal. Although not all birds can fly, the hollow structure of feathers permits some birds to stay in the air while flapping their wings.
