USSF Law Changes

John White – Referee Instructor

USSF Law Changes Law 8 – Start and Restart of play

(i) Dropped ball – Contested/Uncontested (submitted by FIFA) Proposed text

Infringements and sanctions If the ball enters the goal:  if a dropped ball is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal kick is

awarded  if a dropped ball is kicked directly into the teams' own goal, a corner kick is

awarded to the opposing team Infringements and sanctions If the ball enters the goal:

 if a dropped ball is kicked directly (not touched by another player) into the opponent’s goal, a goal kick is awarded

 if a dropped ball is kicked directly (not touched by another player) into the team’s own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team

USSF Law Changes Law 8 Changes

Reason Law 8 – Start and Restart of play (dropped ball

The proposed new text will clarify the interpretation of the word “direct” in the context of any player playing the ball more than once and thereafter scoring a goal without the ball being played by any other player.

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the Game (i) Discussion on “interfering with an

opponent/gaining an advantage” (submitted by FIFA)

Proposed text

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the Game In the context of Law 11 – Offside, the

following definitions apply:“interfering with play” means playing or

touching the ball passed or touched by a team-mate

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the Game“interfering with an opponent” means

preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball.

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the Game  “gaining an advantage by being in that position”

means playing a ball (i)  that rebounds or is deflected to him off the

goalpost, crossbar or an opponent having been in an offside position

(ii)  that rebounds, deflected or is played to him from a deliberate save by an opponent having been in an offside position

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the GameA player in an offside position receiving the

ball from an opponent, who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save), is not considered to have gained an advantage.

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the Laws of the GameReason

The current wording creates many discussions as it gives too much room for interpretation and is not precise enough. The new text is more in line with actual game situations and will eliminate the confusion regarding what is meant by rebound, deflection and when the ball has been deliberately saved.
