Law 5 of  the Laws of The Game states \n Decisions of the Referee\n\nThe decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play are final.\n\nThe referee may only change a decision on realising that it is incorrect or, at his discretion, on the advice of an assistant referee, provided that he has not restarted play.

Hei Joe,\n\nNo, the player cannot do that. Prior to a penalty, the penalty kicker must be made known to the referree. All other players (except the opposition goalkeeper of course) must remain OUTSIDE the penalty box.\n\nAnd secondly, the penalty kicker CANNOT touch the ball again after kicking the ball, UNTIL it has touched any other player on the field.\n\nYou can refer to more "Laws Of The Game" at FIFA's website.

replaying this game will not happen, there is no time in the busy schedule of the tournament.\nas a referee i can say that figo may have gotten away with striking an opponent which in this case resulted in violent conduct (which is a red card offense). however, the referee wasn't paying attention to the situation and he went with his assistants and 4th official's judgement of the situation.\nin the opinion of this referee, figo only deserved a yellow. remember that the referee's judgement is final and not all of the referees may have the same opinion.\nif you disagree with this, think about this question? "why is a referee even put in soccer games?"

2-45 minute halves (they can be extended if an injury occurs, for example, if it takes 4 minutes to take a player off the field, then after 45 minutes of the half passes by, 4 more minutes are added on).\n\nIn matches where a winner must be determined (finals, semi finals, quarter finals...) and the game is tied after the first 90 minutes the game is then prolonged for 2 more 15-minute halves.  If the teams are still tied at the end of those 30 minutes then they go to 5-penalty shootouts per team.  Whoever scores more goal wins the game.  If after the first round of 5 penalties they are tied, then they move into second round but the first team to miss or have a shot blocked loses (provided that the other team scored its shot)...\n\nComplicated?? I think not.

not to my knowledge but a ref was on a scottish football programme and said that if the ball was deflected of the ref and into the net the goal would be allowed. i guess thats why you dont see refs going into the box for corners.lol

You can only take the penalty if the whistle was blown. Whether he scores or not is irrelevant. He must retake the penalty.

you aren't supposed to get a red card for slikde tackling someone. Maybe a yellow card if it appeared to be on purpose, but not a red card. The ref. gave 2 red cards to the US for slide tackles. The ref was also given probation because he was involved in a scam a few years back.

Diving, and other forms of cheating exist because players know they can get away with it with realtive impunity.\n\nIf the sanction was such that they knew they, or their team couldn't afford it then it would stop\n\nSo a retrospective analysis, after the game has finished look at video evidence\nThat analysis triggered either by the team the victim of the incident and/or outside parties \n\nThe sanctions\n- say deduct 3 points (or more if a persistent offender)\n- the deduction of up to the value of the game (ie 1/38th of the clubs revenue). (including clothing, sponsorship, corporate, tv coverages, video saels, web revenue etc...)\n- banning that team from being onTV for the next 2..3 scheduled matches (irrespective if they are domestic, european or cup matches)\n-instant red card ban the palyer for say 3 games

a penalty kick is awarded when a foul is committed by the defensive team within the penalty box (18 yard box) that would normally be punishable by a direct free kick (this means kicking, pushing, holding etc.).  any player on the team can take the kick but the fouled player usually does.  you can tell a penalty kick is being awarded because the referee Will blow the whistle and point down to the penalty spot (where the kick is taken from).

I disagree with this.  McBride needed to leave the field for blood but should not be forced to sit out for a mandatory sentence.  This would be like hockey, or even worse lacrosse, having a penalty box.  Cristiano Ronaldo got hurt early on in the game against Netherlands but forcing him to stay off the field for a minor injury is not the way to go.  If referees do their job, there will not be a problem with dives.

Referees do not wait for goal-keepers. The idea for moving back the wall 10yards, is to tell the kicker to wait until, he (referee) is ready. \n\nWhen a free-kick is awarded, the kicker will tell the ref, he wants the opponents ten yards away. He therefore will have to wait until the referee is ready and blows for the kick to be taken.\nIf he doesn't want the 10 yards, he will tell the ref, he wants to take the kick immediately, the ref will move away and allow the kick to be taken. No whistle is needed.\n\nBut in fairness, when the wall is set up, the ref will ensure that the keeper is sufficiently ready, before blowing, but he does not ask the keeper. If the keeper wants to stand at one end of the goalpost thats entirely up to him. \n\nThe moment the opponents are 10yards away from the ball, is the moment the ref will allow the kick to be taken.

It's not going to happen that the referee scores a goal; they are never close enough to the "meta." It could happen that they "unwantedly" prevent a goal, though, but still is very difficult. This is like hopping for a cop to run a red light without noticing.\n\nAnyways, if it happens, I don't think it counts. The referee is supposed to be neutral in the field; thus, any move of the ball which involves him it's not to be validated, unless it doesn't affect the game.
