it's just to make sure every player was 10 yards away from the penalty spot when a penalty is being taken..have u seen a penalty kick before?no player would stand in it instead they stood around the semicircle..maybe u didnt notice it because the camera usually focus on the ball and goal..\n\nso let me give u a similar example where u can always see..the same rule applied to the circle at the center of the field..when a kick off is about to be made..the opposition side must not stand inside the circle..i'm sure u noticed that right..?that is because they must not be within ten yards from the ball..the same rule applied for free kick where the wall must be 10 yards away..\n\nso a simple answer to ur question is that the semicircle is just for making sure that players are 10 yards away from the spot..that's all..this also means that the semicircle's radius is 10 yards where the centroid is the penalty spot..it doesnt included as penalty box which means goalie cannot handle the ball there and penalty wont be awarded if a foul occured there..

If, when the ball is last touched by a teammate, is the player in question closer to the opponent's goal line than:\n1) the half line?\n2) the ball?\n3) the second to the last opponent?\n\nIf you answer yes to all of these, then he was in an offside position when the ball was touched and you can ask the last question:\n4) Did he gain an advantage from his position?\n\nIf you say yes to all questions, the player is guilty of an offside infraction.\n\nHowever, you cannot be found guilty of an offside infraction if you receive the ball directly from a: goal-kick, throw-in, or corner kick.

first of all, your position needs a left leg player but also you should use the right leg in shooting.i mean when you are running dribble with your left and shoot by the right.in corner kicks and wide crosses from the right , try to be in the 18 yard area if you are a header or you can wait for the ball outside the area to shoot directly, first time or dribble and shoot without neglecting your duty in defense.

Probably depends on who is running the league.  Many U8 leagues such as SAY soccer leagues do not have a penalty spot at all.  Other leagues my set the distance based on the size of the field and size of the goal.  I don't think there is a universally agreed on distance for this or the size of fields, goals, or number of players.

That is one heck of a question.  There are 11 players on each team, 1 Goalkeeper and 11 outfield.  They either play defence, midfield or attack.  The basic shape of a soccer team should be 4-4-2 that's 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and 2 attackers but nowadays there are a lot of strange formations professional teams use to utilize the strengths of their player.  These include 5-3-2, 3-5-2 and 4-3-3.  Sometimes the 4-3-3 is used when a team is trailing and replaces a midfielder with another attacker and becomes more direct in their play.\nRules:\n    The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team.  To score a goal you must get the ball past the opposing goalkeeper and fully across the goal line.  To stop you, the goalkeeper is the only player that can legally use his or her hands to touch the ball and they may only do this inside the 18 yd box, if it is done outside it is a foul.  \n    Generally the feet and head are used to play the ball but in the past i have personally scored with my knee, chest and even my butt.  \nFouls are commited when a player handles the ball or makes unfair contact with an opposing player.  When a foul is committed a free-kick is given to the fouled team.  If the foul occurs inside the 18 box and is by the defending team it is a penalty kick.  A penalty kick is taken from the spot 12 yds from the goal and the goal keeper and the taker are the only people within the 18 yd box.  Challenges that are shoulder to shoulder between to players running together for the ball are allowed.  Challenges from behind were recently completely outlawed as the caused too many injuries.  If a player fouls a lot or makes a dangerous challenge they can receive a yellow card.  If you receive two yellow cards that is equal to one red card and you are dismissed from the field and cannot return or be replaced.  Red cards can be issued without a yellow being issued if a player throws a punch or stops a clear goal scoring opportunity illegally.\n    If the ball leaves the field to the side it is a throw in to the opposing side of the team that touched it last.  The throw must be two handed and from behind the head to be legal.  \n    If the ball leaves the field between the goal post and the corner of the field it is a goal kick if the attacking team touched it last and a corner kick if the defending team touched it last.  A corner kick must be taken from the quarter circle next the corner flag.\n    The offside rule and the backpass rule were introduced and modified in the 80's and 90'sto increase fairness.\n    The offside rule says that when the ball is played up the field by the attacking team, when an attacker is in the opposing teams half he must have an outfield player between him and the goal at the exact point the ball is played.  This rule was introduced to stop attackers just hanging around the goal and making the game very basic.\n    The backpass rule says that if a defender intentionally plays the ball back to his goalkeeper with his feet, the goalkeeper cannot then pick it up and must use his head or feet to get rid of the back.  This was introduced in the 80's because a lot of teams would keep playing the ball back to the goalkeeper so he could pick it up and waste time when their team was winning.  \n    I think that's all i've got.  I hope i didn't miss anything.

A goalkeeper can pick the ball up if the player passing back doesn't use their leg or foot to pass back or if the pass back is accidental for example if a striker shoots and it hits the defenders foot then the keeper can pick the ball up. But if the player deliberatly passes the ball back and the keeper picks up then a freekick is awarded.

for a drop kick, take three steps,, in a kind of turn, start almost facing out of bounds, and then turn inwards, then drop, not throw the ball down, and hit it with the area of your foot, just behind your big toe, your leg should swing back a little, and up and through the kick, if you watch, some keepers who get it really far, nearly kick themselves in the head. for a kick on the ground, three steps, and same place on your foot, big follow through, and that's how you do it. I learned it from Peter Schmieachel (sp?) who if you don't know, was a tip top keeper for Man U, at a football camp connected with Man U.

since this is the american football section, i will forgo giving you the objective of soccer. I will also try and keep my answer to less than 15,000 words.\n\nIn a nutshell, A football field is 100 yards in length and has an endzone on each end. The objective is to score as many points by advancing the ball in to the endzone either via a running play or a pass play or a change of possesion play ie punt return, kick return, interception or fumble. This is worth 6 points and is known as a touchdown. The team will then get a chance to kick an extra point through a goal post for 1 additional point or to advance the ball over the goal line from the 2 yd line for a 2 point conversion. \n\nA team can also score by kicking a fieldgoal through the goalposts in the back of the endzone. This is worth 3 points.\n\nA team has 4 downs (or plays) to advance the football ten yards, in which they will get another series of 4 downs. If they fail to do so they must turn the ball over to the other team either via a punt or on downs.\n\nA game lasts for 4 - 15 minute quarters. Team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

A foul causes a free-kick to the other team. There are two types of free kicks: direct and indirect.\n\nDirect Free Kick: the signal from the ref is his arm pointing in the direction of the goal. The player can shoot the ball directly, and can score a goal without anybody touching it.\n\nIndirect Free Kick: the signal from the ref is his arm is straight up in the air. The ball must touch another player before it goes in the goal. The person who takes the kick can pass it to a team mate, or hope to deflect off of the wall. If the ball goes in the net without touching anybody, it will not be a goal, and the goalie will then take a goal kick.

form a wall for free-kicks.  Its not allowed for penalty kicks.  Number of people will depend on position.  generally use to block flight of ball to one side of goal while goalkeeper covers other

No. It is not goal.\nA goal cannot be scored on a direct throw-in but another player should touch the ball first.\nTHAT is a FIFA rule.\n...and the ball goes to the opponent and they will restart with a goal kick.

The kick-off counts as a free kick at which opposition have to be 10 yards away from the ball. The centre circle is of 10 yds radius and the opposition are not allowed to encroach within it at a kick off.\nThe "D"  is an arc of a circle of radius 10 yds with the centre at the penalty spot. It is there to ensure that all players are 10yds from the spot when penalty shot is taken. I believe that Major Buckley, the then manager of W.B.A., realised that  there was a small part of the pitch outside  "the area" that was within 10 yds of the penalty spot and so the "D" was added to the pitch markings to ensure that no player was within 10 yds at the time the penalty was taken.

The penalty arc (colloquially "the D") is marked from the outside edge of the penalty area, 9.15 m (10 yards) from the penalty mark; this marks an exclusion zone for all players other than the kicker and the opposing goalkeeper during a penalty kick.
