In the original game of football, before some of the rules changed, the main basis of scoring was to either drop kick a ball, punt, kicking field goals, and running with the ball much like rugby.  As time went on, the rules evolved with the game.  Why does it need to make sense?  Why don't you call your football soccer?  I think it sounds better.

Unlike American football and baseball, where you CAN keep the ball, in soccer, you have to throw it back.  Too bad...I'm going to my first match next year in England, and would LOVE to have a ball come my way and keep it!  For sentimental purposes ya know! :)

Yes, there are two ways: A) If you pass the ball with your foot, the goalkeeper cant pick up the ball. B) If you pass the ball the head, or by an involuntary rebound, the goalkeeper can pick up the ball without making a foul.

it means you have to kick it to another player before you can score.\n\na direct free kick means you can kick it straight for goal (a bit like a penalty, but not from the penalty spot).\n\nNot sure about the current criterion for awards... I think it's mostly at the ref's disgression.

kicking the ball should help

One of my best trick is I can lift the ball , u know lob it or loft it from my back heel, a very rare trick, Zidane did it once for France , a back heel cross and someone scored with a header, even I've seen Ronaldinho give a lob pass like that once

A goalkeeper can pick the ball up if the player passing back doesn't use their leg or foot to pass back or if the pass back is accidental for example if a striker shoots and it hits the defenders foot then the keeper can pick the ball up. But if the player deliberatly passes the ball back and the keeper picks up then a freekick is awarded.

Throw it straight up.  Gravity does the rest.  although, technically speaking, you can't throw a ball -anywhere- without it hitting various molecules and bacteria in our air.

yes a goalie can pick it up if he/she kicks it in thier box. as long as the other team was the last to touch it before the goalie picks it up.

Tap L1 3 times and you can do special moves with players like Ronaldinho, Zidane, Lampard, Ronaldo, C. Ronaldo, Joe Cole. Players that are good dribblers..

Not easy at all. I play forward and midfielder both attacking mid and on the wings. I've always known goalkeeping wasn't easy, but I hadn't had personal experience with it until this year with my intramural college soccer team when our goalie went down with an injury and I filled in the spot. Not only do you block shots: You have to know when and how to come out for a corner kick, you need to be good at stopping free kicks because it's hard to see the ball with your wall in front of you, you need to be careful when going at a forward because any little mistake can result in a penalty kick and/or red card, you have to be good at timing a ball coming at you especially when they have crazy spin on them and they bounce a couple of times. Yeah, being a goalie isn't easy. I think it's a fun position, but definitely not easy.

As a team, try to keep the ball moving and spread the defense, taking advantage of open spaces. The best way to accomplish this is to play one and two touch soccer. \n\nStrike the ball with pace so that your teammate doesn't have to wait on the ball.  A firm pass is more likely to arrive at its destination.  In terms of teamwork, the player who is the intended target of your pass must go to the ball.  At the same time though, make your teammate look good by digging out a bad pass and keep possession.\n\nAs a team, train in game-like situations, with the right kind of intensity and pressure. Anybody can play keep a way when they aren't under pressure, but only the good player can do it in a crunch. \n\nYou can recreate game-like conditions by making the areas you are playing in small so that there is constant pressure on those with the ball. Then, when you are getting the right intensity, open the game up and play in a larger area.  For example, start with 8 versus 8 in the goal box and then open up into the whole half once the intensity mimics that of a game.\n\nWhen you’re not training with the team, work on technique by kicking the ball against a wall. Make sure to use both your right and left foot. Keep your ankle locked and strike through the center of the ball with pace.  Get your body behind the ball with a uniform strong sense of balance.  \n\nIn order to become a great passer, you’re also going to need to become familiar with the different kinds of passes, and the various ways in which they are used…\n \n\nPut Your Best Foot Forward\n\nThe way in which you move the ball depends on several things, such as:\n\n·         Where it’s going\n\n·         What you want it to do when it gets there\n\n·         Who’s in the way, and\n\n·         What part of the foot you use\n\nThe first three factors depend on your own strategy, but the last one depends solely on technique:\n\nInside of the foot:  This is the most useful part of the foot to use when passing the ball. It’s the part of your foot with the most surface area, thus giving you the most control and accuracy. \n\nInside edge of the foot:  This is the same as the above but with the upper portion of your foot to bend the ball. Wrap your foot around the ball so it curves into your teammate’s feet or into an area, as with a cross or shot.\n\nOutside of the foot:  This kind of pass is used when you want to bend the ball into a teammate or into an area.  Often, your body is in a position where you can't make a simple pass.  If this is the case, try to strike through the ball.  Follow through with the upper portion of the outside of your foot.  \n\nLong passes:  This is for driving the ball into a teammate..  If you are picking a player out, you don't need to follow through the ball. Instead, strike the ball sharply and stop your follow through just after hitting it.\n\nBy fine-tuning your skills as a passer, you can significantly increase your team’s chances of success. Your victory won’t be complete, however, unless you and your teammates learn to cooperate to control the ball…\n\n \n\nPassing Standards\n\nThere’s an endless variety of patterns and drills that can help your team expand and hone its passing vocabulary. These, however, are the most important passing blueprints that you should be familiar with:\n \n\nGive and Go or Wall Pass\n\nMake a pass at an angle to a teammate and he or she plays the ball back to you after you have made a run behind the defender. \n\nThe key
