Hello all! On this #GivingTuesday2025, I ask that you check out the @HolidayFundNJ. I'm now serving as President and couldn't be prouder of the money we're raising to help combat food insecurity, mental health crises, homelessness + more.

@Tom_Hingley @wt_analysis I do vaguely recall seeing a goalkeeper (Tim Howard maybe?) do just this on a longer-range indirect kick that had been shot straight on goal. He saw that it hadn't been touched, let it fly into the net, and then just picked it out for a goal kick.

[Mark Mravic @MarkMravic]

@Tom_Hingley @wt_analysis Right—it's highly unlikely a defender would have the foresight (or knowledge of the laws) to just step aside, especially when it's fired from such close distance.

[Mark Mravic @MarkMravic]

@SecorWill @wt_analysis No, any player. This is why the referee raises his arm. He keeps it up in the air until it is touched by another player (of either team). Once it is down, the ball can enter the goal legally.

[Mark Mravic @MarkMravic]

@wt_analysis So yes, you could just smash it and hope it hits a defender. But the smart defenders could also just get out of the way. If it enters the goal directly, result is a goal kick.

[Mark Mravic @MarkMravic]

@wt_analysis Indirect free kick means it can't go directly into the goal from the first touch—must touch another player first.

@DocCrom I saw this in the theater when it came out, with two friends. One friend was fascinated by the mind-bending plot, the other laughed most of the way through. Me, I was terrified to my core.
