John of Newport News, Virginia USA asks...

Team A has a direct free kick just outside the 18. They did a quick restart but the ball was moving. It was a shot on goal and the goalie made a save. What is the correct call? A goal kick or redo the DFA since the ball was moving....

Law 11 - Offside 9/23/2017

Kyle of Luton, Beds UK asks...

Mechanics 9/21/2017

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Recently I saw a Barcelona game where Messi got a yellow card, apparently because he asked the referee to give someone else a yellow card. The announcer said it was mandatory under the new laws.
