  I will tell you as much as i know…The soccer field should be around 100-120 meters. With the goalie, each team should have 11 players. There are 3 referees: 2 on the sides, and one on the field (main). There are two types of cards: yellow and red…If you get 2 yellows, its automatic red, which means the player cant play next two matches.. Each team can make only 3 substitutions during the whole 90 min of the game..etc there are more to it….

  I will cover the basics, along with rules that are often mis-understood.

  Max. of 11 players, minimum of 7. Only goalie may handle the ball with hands/arms, and may only do so within the 18 meter box. Other players may play ball with any part of body, except for the shoulders down. The result of playing the ball with your hand is a free kick for the other team. The only exception here is if a hand-ball is completely inadvertant and does not give the team committing the hand-ball a distinct advantage.

  Tackles. You may only tackle (dis-possess an opposing player of the ball) from the front, or side-to-side (shoulder-to-shoulder, within 90 degrees). You must play the ball, not the other player (i.e. the result of a tackle should be contact with the ball first). If a legal tackle results in contact with the other player, it is not a foul. If the tackle is from behind, or does not result in a play on the ball, it is a foul, and the other team receives a free-kick (direct). The only exception is a “play-on” situation where the team who would-be the recipient of a free-kick has an advantage on a goal-scoring opportunity at the time of the other team’s infraction during the play. This is at the discretion of the officiating referee on the pitch.

  Off-sides: When one’s team is in possession of the ball, an attacking player must meet 1 of 2 criteria to be on-sides. 1.) if one of his teammates is in possession of the ball and he is a legitimate threat to receive the ball (i.e. in playing distance of a through ball, in the vicinity of another receiving a through-ball), there must be two opposing players between him and the opponent’s goal, if he is to make a play on the ball/goal. This must be the case when the ball is played, and is only required on the attacking half of the field. 2.) if he himself is in possession of the ball, he cannot be off-sides.

  Obstruction: You may sheild another player from the ball if you have possession of the ball, or are within playing distance of the ball. Otherwise, sheilding the ball would be a play against the other player, rather than a play on the ball, and is an offense resulting in an indirect kick for the other team.

  Direct/Indirect. An indirect kick must be touched by two players on either team (i.e. the player taking the kick and his team-mate or the goalie) before going into the net for a goal. If it is only touched by one player, and goes into the opposing team’s net, the goal is disallowed, and possession in the form of a free kick is given to the other team. A direct kick may go straight into the goal after being touched by only one player (i.e. the player taking the kick).

  A foul that results in a direct kick include: intentional hand-ball, an intentional foul, and violent conduct.

  Fouls that results in an indirect kick: inadvertant handling (hand-ball), unintional foul, obstruction.

  Penaties: Fouls that would normally result in a direct kick, but occur inside the 18 meter box of the team that committed the foul, result in a penalty kick for the opposing team. A penalty kick is a direct kick where the ball is placed 10 meters from the goal (a spot known as the “Penalty spot” or just the “spot”), where only the player taking the kick and the goalie may be positioned inside the 18 meter box. The goalie must have his feet on the goal line, and cannot come off this line until after the ball is played.
