Mechanics 5/19/2021

Steve Hawkins of Altadena, California USA asks...

Clarification on #34224. The VAR is not looking for when the ball leaves the foot. A law change driven by VAR specifies in Law 11 that "The first point of contact of the 'play' or 'touch' should be used." As I understand it, this Law change was drive...

Jonathan Wichmann of Copenhagen , Denmark asks...

Mechanics 4/6/2021

Derek of Cary, IL USA asks...

I don't feel like my question was answered I seems like it was lost in the background information. I'll post it here again:

Jeremy of Chicago , Il Usa asks...
