free kicks
Set pieces awarded
Free kicks are set-piece plays in soccer awarded after a foul, with the offending team required to stand a minimum distance away.
A direct free kick can score without touching another player; an indirect free kick must be touched by a teammate first.
Near the goal, free kicks become scoring opportunities that teams rehearse extensively: Beckham was famous for his free kicks.
