First batch:
does soccer football?
Technically, yes. Football is the widely known name outside of America for "soccer", so since they are the same exact thing, soccer can football.
does soccer even lift
You aren't allowed to use your hands in soccer to lift the soccer ball, except if you are a goalie, which then you have 6 seconds from the "possession" stage (does not include possesion of the ball while in a dive, getting up, or regaining balance) to release the ball.
My league ensures that 7/8 and 9/10 kids not allowed to drop-kick or punt a ball. They get a free pass to a team mate, therefore they don't get timed for possession (if they are time wasting, they get a caution).
does emo freak forget a soccerball
1) Disgusting/inappropriate behavior on the field of play (by players), in the field of action (coaches, subs, spectators) requires a red card or ejection, respectively.
2) Any soccer balls that have a large enough hole for a snake to enter is not game worthy, and the home team is required to replace the faulty soccer ball.
Can I sock 'er next?
Inappropriate behaviors such as loveual action require ejection and the police to be called. The coaches are responsible for the removal of ejected spectators.
SOCCER IS AGAINST GOD
Intimidating and accusing the referee of false calls is bounds for the "Ask, Tell, Dismiss" rule.
why is my son being substituted??? he's only played for 40 minutes!!!
That is not my problem. In our league, referees make sure that all players get a fair amount of time on the field, because fun.
His father was streaking in the field.
Spectators' actions do not affect a players' removal unless they are substituted.
what is the offside rule
Thank you for being the only person to ask a good question.
First, being in an offside position is not a violation of the laws of the game. It also must happen on the other side of the half-line in order for the offender's team to be in violation.
Second, you must be past the second-to-last defender (this includes the goalie) AND be closer to the goal line than the ball (I think this is it) AND be in the position at the time the ball is played to the offender AND be in active play.
This is a technical infraction and does not warrant misconduct (unless the offender continually breaks the Laws of the Game). Restart results in an indirect kick at the position of the offside infraction, rewarded to the team the offside infraction was against (red receives offsides infraction, blue gets indirect).
