Offside law
The offside law is the most famous law, in terms of football. The law says that a player cannot receive the ball from the other player of his own team, if at least two players of other team are present between them. The law is particularly applicable, when the player is offside. A player is called offside, when he is not in his own half, and when he is interfering with the play. Moreover, he is trying to take advantage of his position.
Refereeing signals
Referee is the person, who controls the game. His job is to implement the laws of the game. So, it’s important to understand these signals. When referee extends his hand in forward direction, he signals direct free kick. The hand in upward direction is the signal of indirect free kick. When he shows card, it is a misconduct. Moving both hands up and down is the signal of play on.
