Law 11 - Offside 11/15/2016

Mark of Armonk, NY USA asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 11/15/2016

George of Parangarecutirimicuaro, CA Sacratomato asks...

As I read question 31017, it takes me back a couple of years to a specific sequence of events in an adult match where I was an AR. At the beginning of the second half, Blue striker is extremely frustrated he is not being involved in the game. On one ...
