Football quiz #14: the answers
25 October 2026. Five questions, easy to hard.
Question 1
A defender is last to touch the ball before it goes over their own goal line, with no goal. What's given?
- ▫️ A throw-in
- ✅ A corner kick
- ▫️ A goal kick
- ▫️ A penalty kick
The attackers take it from the corner arc nearest to where the ball went out.
Question 2
Can a goal be scored directly from a corner kick?
- ▫️ No, it must touch another player
- ✅ Yes
- ▫️ Only if the keeper touches it
- ▫️ Only from a short corner
A goal straight from a corner is often called an 'Olympic goal'.
Question 3
A goalkeeper handles the ball straight from a teammate's throw-in. What's the sanction?
- ▫️ A direct free kick
- ▫️ A penalty kick
- ✅ An indirect free kick
- ▫️ A yellow card
Like a deliberate back-pass, a throw-in from a teammate can't be handled; it's an indirect free kick.
Question 4
An attacker is exactly level with the second-last opponent when a teammate passes. Are they offside?
- ▫️ Yes, level is offside
- ▫️ Only inside the penalty area
- ✅ No, level is onside
- ▫️ Only if they score
To be in an offside position a player must be nearer the goal line than the second-last opponent.
Question 5
What pressure range does Law 2 allow for the ball, at sea level?
- ▫️ 1.5–2.0 atmospheres
- ✅ 0.6–1.1 atmosphere
- ▫️ 0.3–0.6 atmosphere
- ▫️ 1.1–1.5 atmosphere
The Law gives 0.6–1.1 atmosphere, which is 600–1,100 g/cm² at sea level.
