What is the difference between an Assistant Referee and a Linesman?
In soccer, an Assistant Referee ("AR") is a neutral match official assigned to assist the Referee, generally running along the touch lines (sidelines) and calling offside, nearby fouls, and other infractions, as well as carrying out other duties as the Referee might assign, such as inspecting goal nets before a match. The AR will wear the same uniform as the Referee, and will usually carry the same equipment, plus a flag. Most ARs are also qualified Referees who take turns with their colleagues as to who will serve in which capacity.
A Club Linesman, also called a Volunteer Linesman or simply Linesman, is a person who is a non-playing member of a club or team, a parent or spectator, or other person who is not a qualified match official who is assisting the referee in the absence of a qualified and neutral AR. Because Club Linesmen are not neutral match officials, they are only permitted to raise their flag to indicate that a ball has gone out of touch (out of play over the touch line). The qualified and neutral referee will take on the responsibility of calling offside infractions and determining the direction of throw-in restarts. Though limited, this service is valuable (particularly at competitive youth levels) because the Referee's position often makes it difficult to judge difficult barely-over-the-line situations.
Assistant Referees are sometimes (incorrectly) called Linesmen, probably because it's shorter and easier to say when calling a match in play-by-play, or speaking about a past or upcoming match by pundits and analysts. As such, many people who watch soccer on television also use the incorrect term. As wrong as it is (and it is), virtually no one except Referees seems to care much about the distinction, and so the terms tend to be equivalent in common parlance, particularly at the professional levels.
May a field player have number one in soccer?
From the text of the official IFAB Laws of the Game as published by FIFA, there is no indication that any player may or not wear a certain number. In fact, there does not appear to be any requirement that players wear numbers at all.
Each association or other governing body under the auspices of FIFA may set their own rules regarding the numbering of jerseys. In most, there is no requirement for a player in a certain position to wear a specific number, though many competitions limit the range of numbers that may be employed, typically between 1 and 23 (the maximum squad size).
By tradition, goalkeepers usually wear number 1, a secondary GK will wear 12, 18, or 22, and a third alternate GK will often wear number 30 or 33. A team captain often wears number 7, but all of this is by tradition, not by rule.

How does a shootout in soccer work?
A penalty shootout, properly called "Kicks from the Penalty Mark" (abbreviated "KPM"), is a way of determining a winner after a tied game where there must be a winner, such as in an elimination tournament or championship match.
Only the players on the field at the end of the match are allowed to take part in the KPM. If one team has more players than the other team, it must reduce-to-equate so that the KPM starts with the same number of players on each team participating. All players must stay in the center circle (along with the trail assistant referee to manage the players) except the two goalkeepers and the player taking the kick. The goalkeeper of the kicking team stands at the corner of the penalty area line and the goal line, behind the lead assistant referee, unless it is his turn to kick.
The winner of a coin flip decides which team will kick first. Teams alternate kicks until each team has kicked five times. The team scoring the most goals is declared the winner. If one team scores more goals than the other team possibly could within the first five kicks, then no more kicks are taken (for example, one team makes its first three kicks, and the other team misses three times, then the remaining kicks are moot).
If goals are tied after each team has taken five kicks, then each team will take one additional kick. This will continue until one team has made more goals than the other team after the same number of kicks. No player may kick a second time until all of his teammates (including the 'keeper) have kicked. After all players on a team have kicked, all are eligible to kick again, and need not kick in the same order. No player may kick a third time until all of his teammates have kicked twice, and so on.
Goals scored during KPM are not added to the ones scored during the game. They are tallied separately, and are looked at only to determine who won the tied game. Thus, the final score might be 3 (2) to 3 (5), the numbers in parentheses indicate KPM totals.
I am a referee, and i can only tell you that it depends on the ref. I would first tell the player to play on. If then the player continues to delay, i would then caution the player for deliberately delaying the game after being told to play. And then would add that time to the end of the game.

Where is the penalty area located in soccer?
There are two penalty areas, one on each end of the symmetrical field. Each box is centered on its goal, touching the end line, and it extends 18 yards from the end line and 18 yards out from the inside edge of each goalpost. Some youth organizations specify smaller penalty areas for certain age groups, and the youngest players often do not use a penalty area at all.
The line is part of the area it contains meaning that "on the line" is also "inside the area."
So, a player trips an opponent. This is a Direct Free Kick offense.
Also, it was a defender inside their own Penalty Area, this Direct Free Kick is now upgraded to a Penalty Kick.
An offside goal is one that is scored by an offside player. If the assistant referee is out of position, he may not realize that the scorer is offside and the goal may stand. Usually, however, offside goals are disallowed and the defending team is awarded an indirect free kick.
If there is an injury ten minutes into a women's college soccer game what is the red shirt rule?
Soccer itself has no "red shirt" rule. The term "red shirt" as applied to college athletics is about eligibility to, in general, play for "another year" because a player "sat out a season" due to injury, scholastic performance or the like. The particulars may require a good bit of interpretation, but they are set down in the case of college athletics by the NCAA. A link to their site is provided.
