[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Offside rule. 
Direct vs. indirect free kick
Handling the ball (not straight forward and very subjective)
Out of bounds. (Ball has to be completely over the line. Touching the line and on the line is still inbounds.)
Yellow and red cards. [/quote]

Thanks But do you have an specific things that people get wrong with offsides?  Like I know the attacker can't be beyond the 2nd to last defender when the ball is played.  What do some people get wrong with that?
What do some people think is an indirect kick but is really a direct kick?
What do people think is a yellow card but is really a Red card?

Things like this.  I understand that I can just read all the rules but I guess I'm looking for "common misconceptions". Thanks.

Offside rule - When the ball is played, the offensive player receiving the ball must have no body part closer to the goal than the the 2nd to last opponent , who is usually the last defender, as the goaltender is usually, but not always. closer to the goal. The determination is made based on where the players are at the time the ball is kicked.

With youth soccer, quite frequently officials will get the call wrong when an offensive player times the run perfectly and winds up so far past the defender that the official thinks that the player MUST have been offside, even though he or she was behind the defender at the time the ball was played. In addition, there not an automatic offside when an offensive player is in an offside position if that player does not receive the ball

Also, there is no offside on throw ins. [/quote]
