How is it you can said "kick" and the other team gets the ball at both halves, but when you said "receive" you don't get it both times?
Why not just simplify the rule and have "kick" mean we obviously defer.

If you win the kick it means you get to decide to start the game with the ball or kicking the ball, you can also defer this decision the 2nd half. If you defer to the second half the opposing team now gets to decide who gets possession to start the game rather then the 2nd half.. because the opposing team won’t have the option in the 2nd half they always choose to receive (knowing the team that won the coin toss will always want the ball in the 2nd). If you win and chose to kick instead of defer, the option to choose who kicks/receives stays with the opposing team for the 2nd half where they will always choose to receive resulting in them receiving twice.. in short you always want to elect to receive the ball or defer... never to kick

Seriously? I feel the way I do after my wife asks a stupid football question and I don't want to tell her it's a stupid football question.
You win the toss. Your choice is (i) receive, (ii) kick, or (iii) defer your choice to the 2nd half. If you choose (i) or (ii), then the other team gets to choose in the 2nd half. If you choose (ii), the other team will almost certainly choose (i) in the 2nd half, so you kick twice. If you choose (iii), you will surely receive in the 2nd half, regardless of what the other team elects to do in the 1st half. If you choose (i), then the other team will choose (i) in the second half in virtually all cases. If the other team does choose (ii) in the 2nd half, you get to receive twice.

This rule about saying "kick" is the dumbest rule in football.
Are you 12?
