What the fug is soccer?

 

 

Srsly though...  Explain what penalties are.  Like is it like hockey being offsides but no "icing the puck"?

 

Penalties are when an attacker is tackled in the box and the official deems that the Defender didn't get the ball, or the tackle was excessive. Offsides is when your attacker is further up the field then the last line of defense at the moment the ball is played into them, whether through a lob, through ball, cross etc.

Ok so its a penalty if the defense gets beat?  I cant get behind them for a shot on goal?  No wonder you cant score in this game.  Thats worse than the illegal contact rule in football or no hand checking in b-ball.

Not a penalty, offsides. You just have to time your runs right. Think of the last line of Defense as the blue line in Hockey. Just like Hockey, if you're past the blue line (last line of defenders) you can pass the ball to teammates who are also past them.

How many "fouls" does a player get before he's ejected or removed?

 

Depends on how bad the foul is. Sometimes one foul = booked. Other times you can commit 5-6 fouls if they aren't severe without seeing a card.

I pretty much know that you only get penalty kicks if the penalty happens inside the box.  Are there any exceptions to that?

In the above picture, the blue team is attacking. When the ball is played forward by a teammate, no "scoring body part" can be beyond the last line of defense for the opposition (not including keeper).

 

Being even is onside.

 

If the attacking team is beyond the last line of defense, and the opposing team plays it back to him, he is onside.

 

If the goalkeeper is further up the pitch than a defender, he becomes the last line of defense, and he is the line.

Pictures definitely would have helped my explanation, but I was too lazy to google. Pie for you.

Yeah, if a player deliberately passes a ball back to the goal keeper and he picks it up. It's what is called an indirect free kick (in the box) meaning that the ball has to touch another player (either a teammate or opponent) before entering the net.

You only see this at the middle school and some times high school level though.

Edit: I misread the question... you only get a PK if a certain type of foul is committed in the box.

    • The problem that Bryce faces is his lack of prototypical tools.  He's not the tall, strong armed mobile QB that tends to get drafted first overall.  His game is not played in underwear on a practice field.  His best asset are his intangibles.  They aren't sexy like a cannon arm or a fast 40 yard dash. OK, so we took the lesser athlete.  Bryce put up a pretty bad season with a bad team around him.  The coaching staff, for all it's platitudes, sucked.  They made sure Bryce could run a huddle, but didn't help him get better as a player.  Bad choice. Compare that to what other teams did to their Rookies:  they put them in position to succeed with better personnel and better play calling.  Sure, there are physical differences which are going to affect the outcomes, but you can't change it. Am I trying to ride to the defense of Bryce?  Only a little.  He's my favorite team's QB, and I believe in him.  Now, he's got this year to show that he's "the No. 1 for a reason" (Thanks CJ Stroud).  Will he, won't he?  I don't know at all.  That's on the D&D crew to put Bryce is position to play well.  Running the ball is going to make things a lot easier for Bryce.  Does that discount his success if he plays well?  For some of y'all it will.  Some of y'all just don't like Bryce, like he stole you DoorDash or something. Regardless, let's see what happens in 2024.  If Bryce stinks it up, then we're going back to the QB well again.  
    • we may think we know, but we don't know. we won't know what effect upgrades on the OL, coaching staff, and WR room will have. we don't know what scheme canales is going to put together. we don't know a lot of things.  that's why we play the games...to see what shakes out. plenty of reasons to think Bryce is limited this year...again. Plenty of reasons to see an improvement in his play. 
    • He did not elevate the players around him, but they de-elevated their QB.  A QB like Bryce needs a system, a strong OL, a Running game, and WRs that can get open.  Call him a manager at best, but so is a point guard.  That is all we should need.  He is smart enough to grow into a very effective player.  I once saw a Coach talking about the OL--i forget who it was Schottenheimer comes to mind--and he said, you can succeed if you have one weak link on the OL.  If you get 2 weak links, success comes 10x harder.  If you get three weak links, your season is over.  Your QB is injured, and you are unemployed (paraphrasing).  I would say that we had 4 weak links (Icky does not get a pass) and a RB who was not good at pass blocking. I am not saying the Bryce is the answer at QB--but I am saying we don't know yet. I know QBs (college) and when the OL sucks, they collapse mentally over time.  That is what we saw--a QB who had never played without the advantage.
