Law 14 - The Penalty kick 10/21/2016

Brian of Brooklyn, NY USA asks...

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/21/2016

Jack of Sydney, NSW Australia asks...

In the video posted (I actually was watching the match on TV when it happened) my initial gut feeling was yellow, as it appeared to fall just short of a mandatory sending-off for serious foul play. The reason I came to this conclusion, was that I was...

Law 11 - Offside 10/19/2016

Stewart of Livermore, CA USA asks...
