Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 8/5/2018

Keith T of Las Vegas, NV USA asks...

Law 13 - Free Kicks 8/5/2018

Randall Longhouse of ORLANDO, FL United States asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 8/3/2018

bob of los angeles, ca usa asks...

'The restart in your example should have been a DFK from the location of the foul that merited the yellow card. In many ways it is a rewind of the game back to the incident which without the advantage would have been an immediate free kick and a caut...

Law 4 - The Players Equipment 8/3/2018

gary d of nashua, nh usa asks...

does it state in law 4 that a bandana is not allowed? An assessor mentioned this but I can't find any written clarification; it makes sense because loose ends can be pulled/stepped on....

Mechanics 8/2/2018

bob of los angeles, ca usa asks...
