Law 13 - Free Kicks 5/9/2019

don of houston, tx usa asks...

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Referee Mr McHugh said: 'I adopt zero tolerance in there by the attacking team.' I absolutely agree with this sentence. In my opinion, Zinchenko was not interested in the ball at all. I think that the defending team should be allowed to end these tim...

Doug Crawford of Oakland, CA US asks...

Hello - Curvy goal line results in off angle goal posts.
When I checked the goal post position and the netting I did not notice this. I was AR, and later, 30 yards away, standing lined up with the goal posts for a corner kick, I realized that th...
