Law 13 - Free Kicks 4/22/2017

Israel Maciel of South Gate, California United States asks...

Lately I have seen referees not requiring the defensive team players to move 20 yards away from the ball. Referees argue that if the team taking the free kick doesn't ask for the distancia, he doesn't have to ask defensive players to respect that dis...

League Specific 4/22/2017

Kenny Macdonald of Armadale, West Lothian United Kingdom asks...

Law 18 - Common Sense 4/20/2017

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Situation: near the end of the first half, the (no AR) referee notices the keeper 'likely' infringing on the 18 yard line, reaching the hands over the line to drop the ball for a punt. The ref is not close enough to be sure, so lets it go.

Law 11 - Offside 4/20/2017

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, VA United States asks...

This play is an example of a flag raised too quickly by the AR I think. Keep an eye on #12 in Dark Blue. He is clearly in onside position when the long ball is struck; his teammate (#19 I think) certainly is not. But the AR raised his flag immedia...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/20/2017

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, VA United States asks...

I see this type of play a lot. Dark Blue is attacker, lighter blue is defender. Defender takes an angle and gets to the ball first. Looks like attacker makes no attempt to play the ball and runs through the defender as the defender kicks the ball ...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/20/2017

Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, VA United States asks...

Wow the play back to the keeper certainly has brought up a lot of discussion! And it has happened a lot in my daughter's HS games so far this year. Here's another one!

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 4/20/2017

Gerhard of La Jolla, CA USA asks...

If the keeper slides to catch a ball close to the line of the penalty box, but is slide takes part of his body - lets say the feet and legs - past the line to the outside of the box, does that count as a 'handball'?...
