Read The Full Q & A Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 12/17/2024Ross of Bristol, England asks...Say the centre back has the ball at his feet, dribbling in the defensive penalty box.

Read The Full Q & A Law 11 - Offside 12/16/2024Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...One more simple situation from the weekend round of our league.

Read The Full Q & A Other 12/9/2024Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...There are 24 official languages in the European Union alone. I see 5 of those languages on the IFAB website.

Read The Full Q & A Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 12/8/2024Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...Hello
