Soccer Rules and Regulations

Rule changes are made often, and many of them affect all players, including goalkeepers. However, the last time a law was changed that affected only goalkeepers was in 2000 (as of this writing, 2011-08-05), when the six-second rule superseded the four-step rule.

Previously, a goalkeeper could not take more than four steps in any direction while handling and controlling the ball. This was changed to give a six-second time limit, and the number of steps are not explicitly limited. The time limit was in place before this year as an IFAB Decision, but now it is codified in law and is a foul worthy of an indirect free kick to the opposing team.

Offside infractions result in a stoppage of play because the defending team is entitled to an indirect free kick. Sometimes, the referee may play advantage and allow play to continue if it will benefit the defending team to do so.

With two exceptions, a goal keeper may deliberately handle the ball within their own penalty area.

You can get a red card by getting 2 yellow cards in a game. If you get a 2nd yellow yard that equals a red card that means you have to sit out for the rest of the game oyu receive the card and the next game you are playing. If you get a red card its the same sit out for rest of the game and next game. Hope this helps

The goal area is 6 years deep and 20 yards wide.

Dissent is not a foul, it is misconduct, and the consequence is a caution.

If the ball crosses wholely over the goal line (but not inside the goal) and was last touched by the attacking team, the defensive team is awarded a goal kick.

There are 17 Laws in soccer. They can be found in the FIFA Laws of the Game. Law violations are not called faults.

No. A player's offside status is re-evaluated each time a team-mate touches the ball, a defender controls and passes the ball, or the ball is no longer in play. The player's status does not change until one of the above happens again.

The restart for an offside offense is an indirect free kick. Another player must touch it for a goal to be scored during an indirect free kick.

There are three. There is no offense for receiving the ball directly from a goal kick, corner kick, or a throw-in.

There is no such card in soccer. It's existence is a myth.

A lifetime ban is not one that can be made on the field. Cards are merely visual aides for dealing with misconduct while on the field of play.

It is down to the officials, the linesmen normally making the decision if it goes over the sideline. Usually there is no doubt about who gets it, so rarely do the officials actually have to formally impose a decision.

A goal is awarded and the team conceding the goal restarts play with a kick-off as normal. As for the time recorded for the goal, which is not a requirement of the Laws of the Game (which governs soccer worldwide) but is often used by certain leagues and tournaments for statistical purposes, any goal scored from the opening kick-off (0:00) until the end of the 59th second (0:59) is recorded as having been scored in the 1st minute. From 1:00 to 1:59, inclusive, such a goal is recorded as having been scored in the 2nd minute, and so on. There is no rounding down of partial minutes; they are always rounded up.

There are 10 direct free kick offenses and 8 indirect free kick offenses. They are outlined in the FIFA Laws of the Game.

In a 7-a-side football match, the field dimensions typically range from 50 to 70 meters in length and 30 to 50 meters in width. The goals are usually 2 meters high and 5 meters wide.
