If a player took a free kick and shot the ball into his own goal, would a goal be awarded to the other team. ?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance. albear May 28, 2008, 01:48 PM Presumably yes I.e own goal smearcase May 28, 2008, 03:46 PM Always has been in my experience. I assume we mean he kicked the ball into the other teams goal or in other words the goal his team is defending. friend4u178 May 28, 2008, 09:23 PM YES...............own goal! ::edit:: correct answer below in post #6 moha222 May 28, 2008, 10:17 PM I appreciate your answers. One would think this will be a legal own goal. However , I read in our media lately that this goal can not be awarded based on the fact that in case the (OFFENDING , GUILTY ) side has benefited from his mistake and in fact won the goal. As a rule, people should NOT benefit from their mistakes. Does this make sense to anybody ? Personally, I think it is an own goal. friend4u178 May 28, 2008, 10:58 PM I appreciate your answers.

Hi moha Ok after further investigation ( I went onto the FIFA website) The actual law states that if you kick the ball into your own Goal off a free kick awarded to yourself it is NOT a goal to the apposing team , they are actually awarded a corner. Hope that helps :) moha222 May 29, 2008, 04:55 PM Hi moha Ok after further investigation ( I went onto the FIFA website) The actual law states that if you kick the ball into your own Goal off a free kick awarded to yourself it is NOT a goal to the apposing team , they are actually awarded a corner. Hope that helps :) Oh really ? . This is the very point I was wandering about. The FIFA law you referred to is what my newspaper was saying and I just could not believe it. I thank you a lot for your time and interest. friend4u178 May 29, 2008, 04:56 PM Oh really ? . This is the very point I was wandering about.
