How does it work on the football field?

According to the rules of football, a goalkeeper may hold onto the ball for a maximum of six seconds.

Kicking a soccer ball requires technique and precision. To achieve a powerful and accurate shot, you start by placing the ball on a flat surface. Stand with your legs wide apart and focus on the goal. Use the instep to load power into the leg and aim carefully at the goal. Hit the ball with the inside of your foot for precision or use your ankle to give the shot a spin. Twist your upper body for extra power and follow through the motion with your leg. Practice regularly to improve your technique and power. Over time, you will develop the skill to make precise and powerful shots.

 

According to soccer rules, a goalkeeper may hold onto the ball for a maximum of six seconds before they must release or kick it away. This rule aims to prevent time-wasting and keep the game flowing. During these six seconds, the goalkeeper may hold the ball in their hands and consider their options before throwing or kicking the ball back into play. If the goalkeeper exceeds this allotted time, it will result in an indirect free kick for the opposing team from the spot where the infraction occurred. Regular application of this rule helps to maintain the pace and excitement in soccer matches. 

 

In soccer, a shot on goal is counted when the ball is directed towards the goalposts and over the goal line, and it results in a goal if it crosses the goal line during regular play. Shots on goal are recorded when the ball hits the goalposts, the goalkeeper, or any other obstacle and clearly crosses the goal line. The statistics on shots on goal are an important indicator of a team's offensive efficiency and the goalkeeper's performance. They also help to assess the intensity of the game and the teams' goal scorers. Understanding and analyzing shots on goal are crucial for soccer strategy and the development of the team's performance.

 

Until 2020, three substitutions per team were allowed in an official soccer match according to the rules established by FIFA. These substitutions could be made during the match, and an additional substitution was allowed if the match went into extra time. This applied to most official competitions, including international matches and club tournaments.
