Yes indeed. In fact, Manuel Neuer (Goalkeeper of Bayern Munich) actually scored a penalty for Bayern in the Champions League Final against Chelsea in the penalty shootout!
Any number of players may defend or attack at any time, except at penalty kicks (for defensive DFK fouls in the 18-yard box) and kicks from the penalty mark (tiebreaker used in tournaments requiring a clear winner). During those kicks, only the goalkeeper may defend, just as only one attacker may kick. Therefore, your answer is eleven during any time in the game other than PK or KftM.
If the keeper drops the ball and then kicks it before it touches the ground, it is called a punt.
If all three players are sent off before the first Kick From the Penalty Mark tiebreaker is taken, then both teams must nominate 8 players that were on the field at the end of play to participate. This is known as the "reduce to equate" principle. The eight players must still include a goalkeeper and 7 outfield players.
Yes, a goalkeeper can take penalties.
It is the spot where the ball is placed during the taking of a penalty kick or kicks from the mark.
Yes..... I did it once from a goal kick and it was allowed..... There is nothing in the Laws of Association Football that prevents a goalkeeper from scoring a goal against his opponents. Likewise, if he were to score direct from a goal kick, that is perfectly reasonable.
It is legal for a teammate to kick the ball to their own goal keeper. The goalkeeper would not be allowed to use their hands. If they do so, then it would be an indirect free kick for the opponents at the location the goalkeeper touched the ball. A penalty kick would not be awarded.
no it is kicked if closer to the goal the goalkeeper kicks it, but closer to the midfield the defenders or midfielders kick the ball
The goalkeeper has all the rights of any other player, plus their special privilege to handle the ball within their own penalty area. This means that goalkeepers can legally take goal kicks, corner kicks, kickoffs, free kicks, penalty kicks, throw-ins, and are required to take a turn during kicks from the penalty mark to determine a winner (a.k.a. shootout) before any team mate may kick a second time.
A goal keeper can not do it when he is out side of the 18 yard line mark.
If offense (forward) kicks it out, it would be a corner kick. If defenc kicks it out, it would be a goal kick.
Penalty kicks are when an offensive player is fouled inside the penalty box. Then a player from that team will kick the ball from the penalty spot. Only the goalkeeper and the kicker are allowed inside the penalty box at the time of the kick. The goalkeeper must stay on the goal line until the ball is kicked. The ball must go completely over the line for the goal to count.
