If someone scores an own goal during a goal kick will it be counted?
No. If the ball was going into the net if the goalkeeper had not touched it then it is not an own goal. If the ball was going wide and the keeper pushes it back into the goal then it is an own goal.
What shoes can you wear for indoor soccer?
any shoes, plastic cleats, tennis shoes, etc. but the most common and the one with the best traction is turf shoes
Indoor soccer is usually played inside a gym with hardwood flooring. Also, indoor soccer can be played in gyms with turf- like carpeting. Tennis shoes or sneakers are preferred, yet indoor soccer shoes are the best bet. Do not wear shoes with marking soles or shoes with heels. There are specialized indoor soccer shoes you can find at specialized soccer or sports stores. The link below is for an online store selling indoor soccer shoes if you would like to see an example of one or even buy one.
How many different cards are there in soccer?
Soccer has two types of cards, yellow and red. Yellow cards are used to caution a player for a major breach of the rules, called "misconduct". A second yellow card, as well as several egregious forms of misconduct, warrant a red card, which indicates that the player is sent off and can no longer play in that game or remain in the vicinity of the pitch.
Some similar games (which do not follow the IFAB Laws of the Game) can employ blue, green, black, white, or even so-called "soft red" cards to mean various things, but they aren't part of the soccer / football that most of the world plays.
How do you get a offsides in soccer?
You are in an "off-side position" if you are: 1. On on the opposing team's half of the field and... 2. Neither one of these things is between you and the opposing team's goal: (1) two opposing players (one is normally the goalkeeper) or (2) the ball.
However.....being in an off-side position does not make you off-side (and therefore the referee will not call an off-side penalty on you) until you are involved in an active play. A very good explanation of the concepts of off-side position and off-side can be found here: http://www.soccerhelp.com/Soccer_Tips_Dictionary_Terms_O.shtml#offside_rule_detailed That site also includes a good explanation of the exceptions to the off-side rule and since I cannot come up with better wording, here is a direct quote from the site: "Special Cases Where Offside Is Not Called: A player is not offside if he receives the ball directly from a goal kick, throw-in or corner kick, even if he is in an offside position; however, once touched, the offside rule starts and if it is then played to a player in an "offside position", offside may be called. (Note that the offside rule does apply on "free kicks"). A player is also not offside if he passes the ball backward, even if doing so leaves him in an "offside position". However, if he is in an offside position & the ball is played back to him (e.g., a wall pass), then he can be called offside." == == == == Previous answers.....

Can a coach stop the soccer game or only the referee can?
The referee is the sole judge of time in the match. The referee is the only one who has the power to end the game because time has expired.
Now, speaking about during play, the same rule exists. The referee is the only one who has the authority to stop play or terminate the match early for any reason. Now, assuming that a coach leaves the field when tournament rules require that a rostered coach be present at all times during the game (as almost all youth matches do), the referee would be forced to terminate the match early due to insufficient people on that team. (The insufficiency comes from the fact that there are not enough coaches (one) to continue/start the match.)
The referee would stop play and then declare the match over. His match report would contain specific details of the event and note that the match was terminated early. The referee would also report the score at the time of termination. The referee has no power to determine a winner or a forfeiture. His only authority regarding outcome of the match is that he sends his detailed report to the league coordinator. The league would then decide what actions to take (i.e. the winning team or forfeiting team, whether the match should be played again, or if disciplinary action needs to be taken against the team/coach).
This can be found in The Laws of the Game, under Law 5 - The Referee:
Powers and DutiesThe Referee:- enforces the Laws of the Game.
- ...
- acts as a timekeeper and keeps a record of the match.
- stops, suspends, or abandons the match, at his discretion for any infringements of the Laws.
- stops, suspends, or abandons the match because of any outside interference of any kind.
- stops the match if, in his opinion, a player is seriously injured and insures that he is removed from the field of play. An injured player may only return to the field of play after the match has restarted.
- ...
- indicates the restart of the match after it has been stopped.
- provides the appropriate authorities with a match report, which includes any information on any disciplinary action taken against players and/or team officials, and any other incidents that occurred before, during, or after the match.
There are obviously more responsibilities/powers that the referee has, but the ones listed in the Laws that are pertinent to this question are the ones listed here.

Do touch lines and goal lines are part of the field of play in soccer?
Also known as the end line, the goal line is the line that runs the width of the field. It runs across the front of the goal and when the ball passes the end line within the goal posts, a goal is scored. If the ball passes the end line outside of the goal posts, the ball is out of bounds. Depending on who touched it last, a corner kick or goal kick will restart play.
Can you be offsides on a corner kick?
No you cannot. In order for a player to be offside, that player has to be behind the ball and behind the 2nd to last defender. On a corner kick, there is no way to be behind the ball unless that player goes off of the field.
When is the goalkeeper not allowed to pick up the ball?
A goal keeper may never use their hands outside of their own penalty area.

What facilities and equipment are used for soccer?
Goals vary in size. You should probably start using the biggest goals when you are in higher elementry/middle school. You should also wear cleats with no spike in the very front-those cleats are for baseball. If you use those cleats in soccer, you might kick someone accidentaly with it. Soccer balls also vary in size. Size 3 is for the littler kids and size 5 should be for older kids. Have fun playin'!!!
How has the world cup of soccer been changed over the years?

May a goal keeper punt be taken outside of the penalty area?
No. It would be determined to be deliberate handling and a direct free kick would be awarded at the spot of the touch. If the referee decided it was a tactical decision by the keeper then it could also be misconduct including, in some cases, a send off.
No. When determining whether a goalkeeper may touch a ball with his hands, only the position of the ball matters. If the ball had not crossed (or touched the plane above) the boundary of the goalkeeper's own penalty area, it would be considered deliberate handling, The restart would be a direct free kick at the location of the handling.
The goalkeeper might be cautioned if the act prevented the development of a promising goal scoring opportunity in the opinion of the referee. The goalkeeper might be sent off if the ball would have entered the net if not for the handling (and without being touched again by any player) in the referee's opinion.
Does a penalty kick have to go forward?
The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves. The movement does not have to be forward.

What happens when you get a yellow card or a red card in soccer?
In addition, a yellow card is added to your total tally of yellow cards for the season. If a player gets 5 yellow cards, he is suspended for a game.
The most common reasons for getting a yellow card:
- Unsporting behavior of any type, e.g., a dangerous slide tackle.
- Dissent (disagreeing with the referee's or linesman's decision).
- Persistent infringement of rules, e.g. constantly tripping people.
- Entering or leaving the field without permission.
- Delaying the game, perhaps by refusing to stand the proper distance from a free kick, or not throwing in the ball for a long period of time.
What constitutes direct or indirect fouls in soccer?
No, if it's a defender against an attacker, it is a penalty.
"Foul" is a term used to describe direct free kick offenses. Those are automatically promoted to a penalty kick while in the penalty area.
Why does the clock wind up in soccer?
Because there are 45 minutes in each half with an addition time added at the end of each 45 minute half for any time that they stopped the game during that half for an injury, an altercation, to clean something up that a fan threw on the field, etc...So they may add an additional 3 or 4 minutes to a half and its easier to count up to 49 minutes for example, rather than minus 4 minutes.
What happens if you break a soccer rule?
It really depends on what you do, for instance if you barge someone over you might get a yellow card, but if you go up to the referee and whack him round the face you could be banned from football for life or a seriously long amount of time.
Are you allowed to push with your shoulder in soccer?
Well it's not a "non-contact" sport per se, and most referees will overlook a bit of bustling between to players to get the ball, but if someone shoulder charges full force, and it really is just intended to batter the other player out of the way that would be a foul.
The general rule is that if you get the ball, the tackle's legitimate... if you're just out to hurt another player or get them out the way, that would be a foul and probably a red card. Black10 says: Have you ever heard the saying, "shoulder up"? Yes, in most case you do use a lot of your shoulder to throw your opponent off the ball or to win the ball. Yet make sure not to throw elbows that is harmful and can cause the other player to get hurt and possibly yourself. Other then that have fun get physical and play to your best. So basically, "Not all wars have ceasefire, just half time."
A lacrosse team must have a minimum of three players, plus the goalie, on their defensive half of the field at all times. Sometimes, a defenseman will carry the ball across midfield and into the offensive zone. If another player, usually a midfielder, does not take his place by remaining in the defensive zone, then offsides will be called.
Do teams switch sides in soccer?
Yes, the players switch sides in tennis. Every odd game total is when players switch sides. For example, after the first game, players switch sides. This goes for after the third game, and so forth.
Why soccer is exciting sport in the world?
Because it is a team game representing athletisism, stamina, control, and strategy changes within the game. Soccer players run and sprint for 45 minutes, they are in great athletic shape. The gear is cheaper than American sports (filled with timeouts and played by 400+ lbs atheletes) so it is afforded by poorer nations.
