The goalkeeper is to take 5 steps with ball possession before releasing it into play?
467483
the rule is now that the goalkeeper can take as many steps as they want with the ball in their hands but can only have the ball in their hands for 6 seconds(i.e. then kick,throw or drop it).but most referees seem not to enforce this rule.

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.

Practise on ball control role.That's the most important part for a soccer player anyway.

The goalie must leave the field\n\nIf the team has a substitution left, it can pull a player from the field and send in their backup goalie.\n\nIf they don't have any substitutions left, one of the players from the field will put on the goalie's jersey and play goalkeeper (very rare, but I've seen it happen)

Is the goal area, you are not allowed to attack the goalkeeper in that area. Also is the area where from you execute the goal kick.

OK, here goes. The little box near the net (the six yard area) is where the goalkeeper has to put the ball when he takes a goal kick(this happens when the opposing team kicks the ball wide of the net.) The bigger box near the net (the 18 yard box or the penalty box or the area) Is the only place where the goalkeeper can handle the ball. If he handles it outside the box then it's a free kick and he could be send off. \nIf a player is fouled in the opposing teams area then it's a penalty, but if he's fouled in his own area then it's just a free kick. \nThe little quarter circles near the corner flags are where the player has to put the ball when he's taking a corner(this happens when a player kicks the ball wide of his own goal.) When the game first kicks off there are only two players from the same team allowed in the centre circle until the first kick of the ball(which must be forward)is taken, so that's what that's there for. At this time every player must be in his own half and he can't be offside in his own half, so that's why there's a line down the centre of the pitch.\nI think the semi-circle at the end of the area is to help the goalkeeper judge where the net is when he's got his back to goal. but has no relevance in the game and isn't even on all football pitches.\nI think that's covered everything, I bet you're sorry you asked now.\nHope you're going to give me 10 points after all that. ;~)

The offside rule is to prevent players from lurking past their opponents last defenders in order to wait for a pass to put into the goal. It's meant to give the defending team a fair shot at defending. \n\nSo this is the offside rule: At the moment a player plays the ball to a forward, he (the forward) must not be closer to the goal than the last defender. He must be behind or at least level with the defender. At the moment the ball is kicked forward to him he can move as he wishes. At that point it becomes a foot race between the defender and the striker and each has an equal chnace to play the ball. \n\nTeams also try to catch players in an offside position by moving all of their players forward just before the ball is played forward. This leaves the opponent's strikers (aka forwards) stranded in an offside position and unable to play the ball. This is known as an "offside trap".\n\nThe rules at this year's world cup states that the referee will not raise the flag until the player in an offside position attempts to play the ball. So you can stand there all you like, but until you atempt to play the ball, the flag will not be raised.\n\nI hope this helped!

There are six people on one side, plus a goalkeeper. They are arranged three people near the goal and three people closer to the halfway point (when on offense). Of course the goal keeper tends to stay in the goal!\n\nThere can be more people on a team, just depending at which level you are playing. But only seven in at a time, and you can sub when you need to.

What makes the offside rule especially complicated is that a player can be in an "offside position" without being offside. Two things are necessary to be "offside":\n\n1st - The player must be in an "offside position" at the moment the ball is "played" by a teammate. To be in an "offside position", a player must be on the opponent's half of the field & closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball & the second-last defender. A player is not in an offside position if he is on his own half of the field (i.e. the half his goalkeeper is on), or even with the second-to-last defender or the last 2 defenders. (The goalkeeper is usually the last defender, or one of the last two, but he might not be; the rules just refer to the last 2 defenders & don't mention the goalkeeper). This is often difficult to call. (For example, if a player is even with the Second Last Defender & thereby in an "onside position" but runs past the Second Last Defender a split second after his teammate makes a through pass. In this example, the player is not offside because he was in an onside position at the moment the ball was played.)\n\n2nd - The player must be involved in "active play" by either:\n\n    * gaining an advantage by being in an offside position, or\n\n    * interfering with play, or\n\n    * interfering with an opponent

Goalkeeper must not move until the ball is kicked. \nAlso, any foul, which would result in a mere free-kick anywhere on the pitch, will result in a penalty if the foul is committed INSIDE the box, that larger area demarked by white lines.

It is sometimes quite confusing!\nGenerally the offensive player cannot wait for the ball behind the last defender not counting the other team's goalie.  If that offensive player shows just a little part of his body or more behind the imaginary line where the last defender is before the ball is kicked and sent forward.\nThe confusing part is whether the offside player is actively or will actively play the ball or not determine whether it is an offside or not.  To me even though the offside player is not actively playing the offside ball, he can distract the defender enough to affect the play, it should be an offside.\nIf the ball is touched or deflected by the defender before the offside player receives the ball, it is still an offside.  But if the defender is trying to control the ball but the ball somehow gets through him or her, it is not an offside.  \nMay be better not to have an offside rule.  It should be the defenders' job not to leave a guy unmarked close to his goal.\nJust me!

The goalkeeper cannot move FORWARD until the ball is touched by the player taking the kick.  He can, however, move laterally.  I know Lehman didnt move forward on his first save, but I too suspected he might have on the second one.  I taped the game, and as soon as Ukraine-Italy is over (I am taping that one as well), I plan on watching Lehman's second save again.  However, he must move FORWARD to make it illegal, moving laterally is ok.

Each person has there own way of doing it.  Just do what feels natural and practice with it.  When I cross (i'm right footed) my left leg is straight while my right leg comes across my body to hit the ball.  Before hitting the ball you turn towards goal and aim for the mass of bodies in front of the keeper :)

I would guess in penalty, that is what you meant if he is the one that is saving the shoot he cant but if his team is taking the shoot then he can ( Butt is a German Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper that shoots penalties for his team )

probably this means for aplayer to take a touch(of the ball) and then then clear the ball.hence touch clear is aphrase shouted by soccer players

Actually cz was far more accurate. It is up to the last two people that pass it to the one who scores. If a defender touches it then that wipes out the passes. A goal can be UNASSISSTED or can have only one person get the assist. So it isn't the LAST TWO.

a team is in possession if they are controlling the play of the ball, dribbling it, or passing it to another member of the team.\n\nwhen the other team intercepts a pass or tackles the ball away and takes control of the ball, then posession switches.\n\nyou just keep track of start/stop times for possession for each team and add them up.  note that you really only have to track one team, since the possession for the other team is the total elapsed time minus the possession for the other team. :)
