how many free kicks will be awarded during the world cup ?
542773
There are 32 teams playing a total of 68 games, and since there should be an average of 30 free kicks per game , then it is reasonable to think there will be around 2000.

The current quota of World Cup places is distributed mainly on football development of the region and to a lesser extent on the size of the continent.  So, analyzing the situation, I think that the current situation is relatively fair enough.  I say this because the development of football in Asia and Africa is not satisfactory enough to award them more places.  If places are awarded under current conditions, it will result in underperforming teams being the whipping-boys of their respective groups.  South America has 12 countries and I think 4.5 is fair enough.  For Europe, well, 14 seems a lot but considering the great national team heritage and especially club heritage (A.C, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United...) I think it's worth it.

A free kick, in football (soccer), is an unobstructed kick of a stationary ball, especially one awarded when the opposition commits a foul.  Opposing players must stand at least ten feet away from the kicker.  \n\nThere are two types of free kicks in football (soccer):\n\n1. Direct Free Kick: a free kick in which a goal can be scored directly from this kick without the ball touching another player.\n\n2. Indirect Free Kick: a free kick awarded to a player for a "less-serious" foul committed by the opposing team.  A goal can only be scored on this kick after the ball has touched another player.\n\nI hope this answers your question!

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.

The Cup starts with 32 teams - \n\nFirst round is 8 groups of 4\n\nThen the top 2 teams from each group advance to leave 16 teams.\n\nThen it's single game elimination 16 down to 8 down to 4 down to 2.\n\nSo after the first round you have to win 3 games to win the world cup.

There must be like another million and two other questions like this. And how many times do I have to say it ... just wait till World Cup is over and I'll tell you the asnwer!!!! \n\nIf you have to know now anyway ... it's FIFA is the big winner here.
