"The decision was taken in the summer of 1975 that all UEFA Finals would be decided by extra-time and then penalty kicks if they finished level after 90 minutes." \n\n"The first European Cup Final to go to penalties was the 1984 final in Rome when, following a 1-1 draw, Liverpool beat Roma 4-2 in the shootout."

The rules of football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863, and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football.\n\n The term soccer first appeared in the 1880s as a slang abbreviation of Association football, often credited to Charles Wreford-Brown.\n\nToday the sport is known by a number of names throughout the English-speaking world, the most common being football and soccer.\n\n The term used depends largely on the need to differentiate the sport from other codes of football followed in a community. Football is the term used by FIFA, the sport's world governing body, and the International Olympic Committee.\n\n\nIn the United States, the sport's governing body is the United States Soccer Federation. \n\nThis body was originally called the U.S. Football Association, and was formed in 1913 by the merger of the American Football Association and the American Amateur Football Association.\n\n The word "soccer" was added to the name in 1945, making it the U.S. Soccer Football Association, and it did not drop the word "football" until 1974, when it assumed its current name.\n\n Today, "soccer" is the standard name for the sport in the United States, with "football" referring instead to American football.

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

Okay no penalty results in the forming of a wall.  a penalty is awarded for a foul committed in the penalty box.  The ball is placed on the penalty spot and the player attempts to shoot the ball past the opposing teams goalkeeper.\nFree kicks are awarded for fouls committed outside the penalty box.  For a serious foul (like handball) these are dirct and you may choose to shoot directly at the goal.  For a less serious offence these are indiect and youmust pass to another player before a shot is taken.  The formation of a wall is optional for both of these although more likely for the direct free kick.\nHope this helps

I really want to help you since it's my background. Here's some info from the book 'Sports' The Complete visual Reference':\n "It roots back to antiquity (called sphaira by the Greeks and ollis by the Romans); in Renaissance Italy, a more elaborate version, calcio, was played. Soccer as we know it today was invented in England in the mid 19th century (1848). The first club, Sheffield Football Club, was formed in 1863, and the first competition, the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup, was organized in 1842. The Federation international de football association (FIFA) was founded in 1904. A demonstration sport in the Olympics of 1900 and 1904, soccer became an official Olympic event in 1908. Soccer is universal because its equipment and rules are simple and because of global coverage of the World Cup. No other international event is followed so closely, due mainly to television broadcasting of matches since 1958. (1.7 billion viewers watched the France-Brazil final in 1998). Today, 203 countries are FIFA members."\n\nHope this helps for some history. I have a lot more information I can give you, but my fingers for now are tired of typing. Anyways, you can write me at lasorna@hotmail.com and subject: 'I need Soccer Info' and I'll respond. I hope you do an excellent job on your project. Good Luck.

Offside is a Law in football (soccer) which effectively limits how far forward attacking players may be when involved in play. Simply put, a player cannot gain an advantage by waiting for the ball with only the goalkeeper or last defender between him and the goal.
