A team that violates the rules may be sanctioned under the Laws of the Game. Law 12 "Fouls and Misconduct" describes when sanctions may be issued. www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/lotg_en_55753.pdf

Yes you could. If the goalkeeper catches it, then the other team has possession. If it was saved or hit the woodwork and came back into the field of play, then a member of the other team could get the ball first. If a goal is scored then the other team restarts the game with the ball in their possession. If the ball goes wide, then there will be a kick out by the goal keeper.

How does the soccer ball shape help it in soccer?

Soccer balls are generally spherical, as required by Law 2 of the Laws of the Game, which give the rules of soccer worldwide.
