Soccer Myths and Facts!

Handball
Myth: With the exception of the goalkeeper inside the penalty area, any contact between the ball and a player's hand/arm is a hand-ball foul.
Fact: The foul is called handling the ball and requires intentional contact. During youth soccer games there are many instances of accidental contact between hand and ball which do not constitute a foul.

Offside
Myth: It is illegal for a player to be standing in an offside position.
Fact: An offside violation only occurs if, at the moment the ball is played by a team mate, a player is in an offside position and, in the opinion of the referee, the player participates in the play, interferes with play, or otherwise gains an advantage from his/her position. Offside position is a matter of fact. Offside is a judgment made by the referee.

Throw-in
Myth: On a throw-in, the thrower's feet must be behind the touchline (out-of-bounds).
Fact: A throw-in may be legal as long as some portion of each of the thrower's feet is either behind or on the touchline. This means the thrower's heels may be on the touchline with his/her toes on the field.

Applying Advantage
Myth: If a referee sees a player commit a foul, he must stop play and award the appropriate free kick.
Fact: After an offence has been committed the referee may allow play to continue when the team against which the offence was committed would benefit from such an advantage. If no advantage ensued after 3 to 5 seconds the referee should stop play and penalize the original offence. At that time the referee may issue a misconduct if required. Also if an advantage ensued the referee may still issue a misconduct , if required, at the next stoppage of play.
