I thought I knew fairly much about balls...football to be particular. I am not very much of a spectator but a participant. I found out much recently that there is so much that I don't know about the game.
I watched a premiership match between ma baby - Arsenal and Portsmouth and there was this particular scene where a defender made a back-pass and the poor goalie couldn't tamed the leather so he had to safe it with his hands right in the 'box'...then the whistle blew. Now, thatz very normal. What was not normal was that it wasn't a penalty kick. They call it a 9 point direct free kick. Right inside the penalty area, the players were all line up to guard the post while the opponent team had to take a shot to score.
I would say it is very dangerous but easy to score at that location seeing the goalie is kindda displaced and the players can get the ball with the hand nah! the dude just bloated the ball away.
I went into the global village to look up types of free kicks and I was surprised at what I learnt. The following clip is jacked from one of the ultimate football website...don't call the cops now!
Types of Free Kicks
Free kicks are either direct or indirect.
Free kicks are either direct or indirect.
For both direct and indirect free kicks, the ball must be stationary when the kick is taken and the kicker does not touch the ball a second time until it has touched another player.
The Direct Free Kick
if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal is awarded
if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the team's own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team
if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal is awarded
if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the team's own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team
The Indirect Free Kick Signal
The referee indicates an indirect free kick by raising his arm above his head. He maintains his arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball has touched another player or goes out of play.
