I knew the "you have to have at least 7 player" rule from Fifa. Yes, I tackle hard

[darylthomas]

I think everyone knows the 6 second rule because of fifa.

[AzakielRuns]

The GK's hold the ball for more than 6 seconds in almost every game, but I rarely see the opposite team get an indirect freekick because of it.

3:26 i tried that in fifa because i was bored. 5 of my players had red cards and the game ended automatically. They gave me a message saying your team forfeited due to lack of players. It was wild!

Number 10: Goalkeeper should not hold the ball for more than 6 seconds

Fifa taught me that

Who knows about the six second rule from FIFA ?

[Captain_Mckeggor]

Here's one I learned in the 2022 Qatar world cup tournament : a coach can also get a red card and has to sit with the audience in the next match as was the case with the south korean coach.

"You can start the game with 7 players". Tell this to Fifa career mode

[dannywolf]

every sunday league player knows the 7 player rule... we had some close calls in the past xD

[Zikooo]

Unwritten rule: the two best could never EVER be in the same team.

[enchyxxx]

Recently there was a match somewhere in South America (can't remember the exact country, sorry, if anyone can be bothered to look it up feel free to do so) where a team actually started the match with 7 players because everyone else had the coronavirus. They had to forfeit the match in the 2nd half, when they were losing 3-0 (pretty good result when you're playing 11 vs 7), because one of those 7 got injured and couldn't continue.

EDIT: I just checked and it happened at least twice. Once in Colombia, which is the match I was talking about, and once in Bolivia!

[Filsantos]

There was a match in Brazilian second division between Gremio and Nautico, in 2005, where four players of Gremio where sent off during the match, so commentators started to explain that if one more player of the team was sent off, the match would have ended. Curiously, Gremio won that match by 1x0, and they scored when the four players were already sent out.

You forgot the most important!
You are more important than anyone if you have brought football!!

[seif]

One more rule: you must wear shinpads during the match

[TheBazino]

Yeah the 6 second rule is - unfortunately - almost never enforced. That would totally change the game.

[Trev]

Most of these we've know for years. I remember when the six second rule for goalkeepers was brought in. It was widely talked about at the time. Before that goalkeepers could hold onto the ball as long as they liked but could only take four steps. Because they delayed so long the six second rule was brought in and the four steps rule was removed. I remember because I was a goalkeeper at the time.

[ookii]

This is a rule that 99.99% of players don't know: You can't fake an injury to get a free kick.

[Mission_Hope]

If the football is yours, you are the rule (Childhood rules)

[noblezarkon]

Refereeing a junior match I sent off one of the captains for an obscene gesture at the coin toss!! In that circumstance he can be replaced by a substitute.

[dmitriym]

Even some pro players forget this rule. When you doing a penalty kick, after you kick the ball you are not allowed to touch the ball again before other player touch it. So if you hit the post from a penalty kick and GK didnt touch it and ball bounce back to you, you are not allowed to touch the ball and score.
