I'll put the right answers in spoiler tags if you want.


1. Offside as the attacker has gained an advantage
2. The referee chooses end.
3. Ask the team with 11 players to nominate 2 players who will not take part.
4. The referee, assistant referees and players.
5. Dismiss the player and allow him to be replaced by a substitute in the starting line up
6. None of the above
7. Substitution
8. Dismiss the player and award a penalty kick as the incident took place in the penalty area.
9. Award a corner kick (probably the trickiest one, because it's not really common sense)
10. Offside in the centre of the pitch
11. Head the ball
12. 6 players

Surely the first one is:

Offside at the moment the initial shot was taken as there were not two defending players between the attacker and the goal


Or am I reading it wrong?


Also, I thought they flipped a coin to see which end the penalties were taken or is that just to pick who goes first?

Nope, because he's not interfering with play until he receives the ball from the goalkeepers touch at which point he becomes active and offside.

I'm guessing I'm translating "offside" as "in an offside position"

Yeah, but the relevant bit in the laws of the game to this is a section that says something along the lines of 'being in an offside position is not an infringement in itself, but becomes so once an advantage has been gained from being in that position'.

I'll find the exact wording in a sec.

EDIT:

It's the first sentence of the section of offside

it is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position


which is elaborated on later:

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by his teammate, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
  • interfering with play
  • interfering with an opponent
  • gaining an advantage by being in that position

The referee chooses end.
Dismiss the player and award a penalty kick as the incident took place in the penalty area.

are two I definetly didn't get, plus I think the head the ball on a penalty, number of players

plus number 10, offside in centre of the pitch. I thought you can't be offside from throw in ?

Yeah you can't, you can't be from any of them hence none of the above.
