Few Soccer rules:

The game of soccer is played by 2 teams, each with 11 players.  The soccer game is played in two 45-minute halves, with extra or "stoppage" time added due to any delays or stoppages.  When the ball crosses the longitudinal boundary of the playing field, a "throw-in" is awarded, and a "corner-kick" is awarded when an opposing player forces the ball over the latitudinal boundary of the playing field.

Free kicks are awarded if a player touches the ball with any part of their hand or arm (the goalkeeper being excluded), or deliberately kicks or interferes with an opposing player.  A special area marked in front of each goal is known as the "penalty area."  If a player is awarded a free-kick from within the penalty area, the team of the infringed player is awarded a "penalty-kick" - allowing a player to attempt to score a goal 16 meters from the goal-line with only the goalkeeper present to thwart his/her efforts.  Under this soccer rule, the goalkeeper is not allowed to move off the goal-line before the ball is kicked, and a goalkeeper is also not allowed to move prior to the penalty kick being taken.
