FOOTBALL /SOCCER RULES.

1.The Number of Players :

According to the official soccer rules, a team can bring in 10 outfield players and one goalkeeper on the pitch, and can have several substitutes on the bench.

The numbers of benched subs, as well as the actual number of substitutions that are allowed in a single match ,vary with the type of the game played.

For example, in official matches only 3 substitutions are allowed, with 5, 7 or 9 players on the bench.

2.The duration of the match:

There are two halves of 45 minutes,separated by a 15 minutes break.

Sometimes,when the match must have a winner,two extra mini periods of 15 minutes each,with no break between then are added.

If the time is tied at the end of the extra time as well,the players go on for a penalty shoot out that will eventually decide the winner.

3.The start and restart of play:

There are 8 reasons for which the game can be stopped and similarly 8 ways to restart it.

3.1.Each period of time starts with a KICK-OFF , and also if a team scores a goal.

3.2.THROW-IN: If the ball goes out on the side lines,the game is restarted with the other team throwing the ball back into play.

3.3.The GOAL KICK is awarded to the defending team, if the attacking team took the ball out of play on the defending team's goal line.

The game is restarted with the goalkeeper kicking the ball from within the safety box.

3.4.The CORNER KICK:

If the defending team touches the ball last, and it goes over their own goal line,outside of the goal itself,then the opposing team earns a CORNER KICK and they will have to restart the game from the nearest corner to where the ball went out.

. The corner kick acts as a direct free kick taken from the corner of the pitch (if the ball passes the line on the left of the goal, the corner is taken from the left corner and if it passes on the right, the corner is taken from the right corner).

3.5.The INDIRECT FREE KICK:

It is awarded when a team produces a non penal foul(dangerous play or offside for example) and the game is restarted with a ground kick that cannot be taken towards goal.

3.6.The DIRECT FREE KICK is caused by a foul or handball and the ball can go directly to the goal.

3.7.The PENALTY KICK :                   
 It is similar to a direct free in that is caused by a foul or handball, but the offence occurs inside the defending team's penalty area.

The game is restarted with one of the attacking team's players shooting for goal from the penalty spot (11 meters,perpendicularly on goal), with          nothing but a goalkeeper to beat.

3.8.The DROPPED BALL occurs when the referee stops the game for a special reason (an injured player,ball becoming defective or the interference of an external factor), and the game is restarted with him dropping the ball from shoulder height in front of two players who will battle for possesion.

4.Ball in and out of play:

The ball is in play all throuhout the match duration, except when it passes a bounding line (goal lines and touch lines), when an offence occurs or when play is stopped by the referee.In these particular cases, the ball is out of play and the soccer players cannot score goals or interact with the ball. In addition,substitutions can only occur when the ball is out of play according to the rules of soccer.

5.The methods of scoring:

A goal is considered when the ball crosses one of the goal areas with its entire circumference.

Goals can be scored from action, from penalty spots and direct free kicks.

6.The OFFSIDE:

When is a player called offside?

A player, usually a striker, is called offside when he is nearer to the other team's goal than both the ball and the second last opponents. The second last opponent usually being the last defender from the opponent team, an offside occurs when the striker is closer to the opposing team's goal than that team's last defender.

7.Fouls and misconduct:There is a difference between foul and misconduct. A foul can occur when a player tries to get the ball from his opponent and kicks him or pushes him away accidentally whereas misconduct means that a player wilfully(deliberadamente) targets his opponent and punches,kicks or pushes him away.

Fouls can only occur when the ball is in play, but misconduct can occur when it is out of play as well.

Depending on the seriousness of the foul or misconduc the referee can penalize it with a yellow or red card in addition to a free kick or penalty kick.

8.Free Kick:

Players of the opposing team must be at least 9,15 metres away from the position where the free kick will be struck.Also,the player that kicks the ball initially on a free kick cannot touch it again until a teammate or opposing player touches the ball.

9.The THROW IN: When the ball goes out of play on the side lines, the opponent of the player who last touched the ball will take a throw in.

The player taking the throw must keep his feet outside the side line, with the sole on the ground and the actual throw must be executed with the ball over the thrower's head.
