What are the different types of fouls in football/soccer?
Which fouls are punished with a direct free kick?
What happens if…
Even though there is no contact, a direct free kick is awarded (or a penalty kick if the offence takes place in the offender’s penalty area), as these are serious offences.
A direct free kick is awarded (or a penalty kick if the offence takes place in the offender’s penalty area) and the player may be shown a red or yellow card.
The first foul is punished, i.e. a free kick is awarded to Team B (or a penalty kick if the offence took place in Team A’s penalty area).
The more serious foul is punished, i.e. a physical foul is more serious than a handball.
The first offence is punished, i.e. the offside, and a free kick is awarded to Team B.
The foul is punished as it is the more serious offence.
A yellow card is shown to the player for being reckless, which is more serious than the tactical nature of stopping a promising attack.
The referee can allow play to continue by playing the advantage.
