Law 14 - The Penalty kick 6/19/2019

John J. O'Hara of Berlin, NJ United States asks...

The June 1st allowance of a goalkeeper being allowed one step off goal-line on a penalty is fairer in my opinion. Why did they wait right before the World Cup to institute this? (causes goalkeeper confusion) Will this new update on Law 14 appear in n...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 6/18/2019

Mary Ramirez-de-Arellano of DAMASCUS, MD United States asks...

When, if ever, can a goal keeper throw the ball out beyond the penalty area and then proceed to dribble the ball upfield? I have seen this a few times and today want to put to rest my questions about it.
