The rule is that you cannot encroach on the keeper once he/she has control of the ball (i.e. in his/her arms, footwork/control doesn't count, obviously), and cannot obstruct the keeper from punting it out... if the striker is stationary and the keeper is dumb enough to waltz up and kick the ball into him, then it is fair game... but you can't run up to steal the ball from the keeper once he/she has control.
it doesn't matter how high his kick is, or even if he used his head. none of those are factors because they do not address the rule that is being broken.
This is not a cardable offense. It is not a "dangerous play." It just becomes a free kick opportunity.
And if everyone would stop with the flaming, there would be far fewer comments on this video.
THE RULE OF BEIN 10 FEET FROM THE KEEPER WAS ONLY INTRODUCED AT TEH END OF THE 2005 SEESON AND NO EARLER... BY THE LOOK OF THIS VIDEO IT WAS DATED A BIT BEFORE THAT WHAT YOU THINK.. TEH REASON FOR THE FOUL OF THIS IS BECAUSE THE REF CAN CHOSE WHAT HE PLAYS WITH THIS RULE... IT IS THE REFS DECISION WETHER HE GIVES THIS GOAL OR NOT ...
By TREKZ_BOI 1173044423 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt wasn´t goal it doesnt matter if you get out or not of the area but to be goal you should take out the ball from the goalkeeper with the head or something else you cannot rise your leg to 90° from your body or more, because it will count as a dangerous play, and to all those people who insuteld and everything and telling that he should have a card... Dangerous Play = No Card at all!
I am not from US (not american because they are not AMERICANS we all from America are Americans so please stop calling them that F**king Gringos!)
i am 100% Mexican and I know so much about football! And I've done and seen goals like that but the ball taken out from the goalkeeper with the head or with the chest, witouth touching him, and without having to leave the area, that counted.
...you're wrong, but I say it with all respect. Close, but that's not the point. The only reason this goal didn't count is that there's a rule which says you can't interrupt a goalkeeper's clearance, you have to wait until he whether drops the ball to the floor, passes the ball to another player or he clears it.
If he has already started his move to clear it away with the foot and you touch it before his foot, that's the same as a foul. It's not that it's a dangerous play, my friend =)
Finnally. someone who knows the damn rules. However try telling that toa play ground full of angry school boys when ur in goal.
By cranro 1152289811 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethen tell me why when you take the ball out with the head it is counted ;)... (it is counted only when the goalie doesn't have full control of the ball like he is grabing the ball with one hand or it's in the air or he is bouncing* it on the floor... and here he takes it out with the leg (in a dangerous play) and it should've been counted if it wasnt because of the dangerous play because the goalie drops the ball to kick and in that moment he doesn't have full control of the ball
By daynightmare 1152153877 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou may only take the ball from the keeper with the head if he's holding it with one hand, that's the ONLY case. You may not interrupt the clearing move. It's not because of a dangerous play as you say.
A dangerous play is not necesarily any play in which you lift your leg in a 90° angle (many goals wouldn't count if that was the case), but a play in which you lift your leg in that angle and you show your shoe spikes to the opponent (as if you had the intention to injure the other player). In the play he takes the ball with the tip or the upper part of his shoe, so it's not because of a dangerous play. Trust me.
A dangerous play is also signaled when the other player has already the leg lifted to take control of the ball but when another player tries, a moment after, to take it with the head. But in that case the dangerous play is signaled agains the one who tried to head the ball because of the reckless effort.
In this play the goalie has full control of the ball and is preparing to clear it but is interrupted. If the attacker had bounced the ball once the keeper had cleared it (even if it was only a few feet away from the keeper), it would have counted

By Juananz 1154226383 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI actually wanted to bet that it was suppose to be counted as a goal until you said "you cannot rise your leg to 90° from your body or more, because it will count as a dangerous play", I never knew that and now I have to agree with you, you should take the ball away with your head.
By rus_kid 1149475989 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveDude it is up to the ref to decide whether it was a dangerous play and dangerous play is if any player (including subs) plays in a manner that is dangerous to anyone from specators and coaches to goalkeepers. The rulebook says "If in the opinion of the referee a player is playing dangerously".
It is a foul though because he is preventing the GK from releasing it from his possesion.
Dangerous play in this case high footing, high footing is where your leg goes to the height of the other players chest, 90degress lol? you rise your leg higher than 90degrees after a shot, don't be stupid, may have been ruled out because referee did not see the ball leave the keepers both hands.

Its interfering with a boot from a goalie, which is stated in the rules as a foul. And being a profesional player he should of known that so I beleive the referee should of carded him for either a delay of game or a misconduct (making a mockerie of the game)
By Phantom495 1147381913 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits interfierence in the bix. if he was outside the box when the goalie kicked and some how he got it then. then it would hav counted
By bigmikeyg 1145718561 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove...the rules of football state that when a goalkeeper is taking a kick like that:
The goalkeeper cannot be impeaded because the ball is still classed as being in his hands... even when he has tossed the ball in the air just before kicking it.
These rules were intorduced by FIFA a few years back!
first of all there are no rules in soccer, there are LAWS. Second of all PJ had it right...it is not a goal it is a fould to obstruct the goalies realease of the ball, also known as shadowing the goalie. It is a mandatory yellow card for that action and the result is a indirect free kick for the a the goalies team. Im a national referee and thats the fact...
By nationalref 1145001172 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIf you are a ref tell me your definition of the off-side rule... there seems to be so many
By pels10 1145924860 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removefirst of all there are no refs in soccer, there are REFEREES
and the one who posts on metacafe can go F**k himself
now go F**k yourself
get over yourself... nobody gives a S**t if your a referee
and are you sure it's referee not "official"?... fuckin prick
It should have been a free kick against the keeper even before he kicked the ball. He held the ball for 9 seconds in his hands. the maximum is 6 seconds.
go F**k yourself it was barely over 6... it's from when he has control of the ball... he doesn't have control of the ball until he covers it up and the players leave... from then on it's just over 6 seconds... and it seems like i'm counting fast
but then again nailing the keepers for going over by 2 seconds everytime when they clearly aren't trying to delay the game or gain an unfair advantage (because that's the obvious reason for the rule) sounds pretty gay to me...
so take your stopwatch... and shove it up your ass
The counting starts when the goalkeeper stands up. And if everyone wou be so anctious about the rules, imagine how crappy soccer would be
By Robbert 1144953277 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNowhere in the 6 seconds rule anything is mentioned about standing up. Controlling the ball with his hands is the only criterium for starting the count. Just looking at the confusion about the refs decision not to count this goal, I think it's a good thing to simply know the rules.
Making rules and not use them properly will make football crappy. Then it's better to lose the rule itself. suggestion: start with offside
u cant prevent the keeper from taken a kick like tht so i should not hav stood (i am aware tht i dint stand im just sayin btw)
By zombiebrainedaliens 1144488630 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTo interfere with the goalkeeper distributing the ball is a foul.
After a dozen years of refereeing, I can assure you that what is on the video was NOT a fair goal.

By thekelo 1143227987 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe throwing into the air of the ball is still the action of the kick and thus means the keeper his still in possession of the ball. This illegal goal is rightly illegal.

By hatem2 1143820775 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is something that's happened countless times in English football over the years. The most recent was Thierry Henry.

You guys aren't right. Here I'll get the rule book I am a referee. Juananz, you're extremely close except for the part where you said you can take the ball with your head if the goalie has the ball in one hand. It is not dangerous play but you could spin it off that way if someone doesn't understand the ruling. Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct of the 2005 FIFA Laws of the Game states that "an indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player, in the opinion of the referee: -prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands"
I have been to a couple referee clinics and they said that the "hands" is another word for the control of the ball. From the point that the goalie gets complete control (puts one hand on the ball, or even one finger but not his feet on the ball, in that case he is treated like a player) of the ball to the point he releases the ball from his control (after kicking / clearing / droping it to the ground) a player cannot interfere with the goalkeeper.
Juananz, when you said taking the ball from the goalie with the head if he has only one hand on the ball is COMPLETELY untrue because that one hand has control and you can't do anything to take the control away from the keeper. I hope you guys don't take this personally and accept the fact that I don't mean any disrespect but I've got the law book with me here so I'm going with it and the opinion of the world class referee's I have talked with. By the way I have received a 91% on my Class 3 Exam if that helps you guys.
The thing with the head was a response for the other guy since it was allowed here in Mexico for one or two seasons (except when he was wrapping it with the arm), but then it was disabled because of the "control" thing you accurately mentioned. The head thing has nothing to do with the play seen on the video, don't misunderstand the comment. (By the way, I also have the rulebook, hehe =P)

By matty_robz 1148690850 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt's wrong. =P
Mix these two rules (specially the specifications stated in the second one):
-Preventing the goalkeeper from releasing the ball. A player who attempts to prevent the Goalkeeper from putting the ball into play by standing directly in front of the Goalkeeper can be called for breaking this rule or for "unsporting behavior", in which case both a Yellow Card
Taking more than six seconds while controlling the ball with his hands before releasing it (releasing it can include throwing it, kicking it or dropping it to the ground and then kicking or dribbling it. Once released, it is "live").
By Juananz 1153979627 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIm a woman, im from uruguay and i studied to be a referee. I say i woudnt count that goal. It is dangerous play to kick right in front of the goal keeper, one centimeter and he would've kick his leg.
