How can you tell where to place the ball for a field goal attempt?

The general rule is to spot the ball 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. This distance gives the kicker enough time to get the kick off without worrying about an unblocked defender on the end of the line swooping in to block it.

Is the spot of the ball on a missed field goal the line of scrimage of the field goal attemp or the actual spot that the holder spotted the ball to kick the field goal?
In the NFL, the ball will be placed at the spot of the hold after a missed field goal. If the kick took place from inside the 20, the ball is moved out to the 20. In college football, the opposing team gets the ball from the original line of scrimmage.
When do you get 5 points for a field goal?
A field goal (kicking the ball through the uprights at the end of the field) is worth 3 points in American football. There is no "point after" attempt for a field goal. In contrast, a touchdown (carrying the ball past the goal line) is worth 6 points and allows an attempt for an additional point after touchdown, which closely resembles a field goal.
If the Kick does not cross scrimmage line and is recovered by the opponent who gains possession?
It depends on why it didn't cross the line of scrimmage. A blocked kick, whether a field goal attempt or a punt, is a live ball. Either team may attempt to advance the ball (but no forward passes are permitted).A field goal attempt or punt that is kicked so poorly that it does not reach the line of scrimmage is governed by the normal rules of the type of kick, a field goal attempt is a live ball and may be advanced by either team, a punt must be touched first by the receiving team.So, if a punt or field goal attempt does not reach the line of scrimmage and is recovered by the opponent, they will receive 1st & 10 from where they recovered it (and advanced it to, if applicable).
Have you ever been able to keep possession of the ball after a 3rd down field goal attempt for another try?
Yes. In both college and the NFL, if a field goal attempt does not cross the line of scrimmage and is recovered by the kicking team, they will continue with possession of the ball. This ruling doesn't really come into play on 4th down kicks because the kicking team will lose possession of the ball on downs. But on third down, if a field goal attempt is blocked and the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, should the kicking team recover the ball they keep possession and it will be fourth down. If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, possession goes to the defense.
After each goal how is ball put back in play in soccer?
After a goal has been made, the team who got scored on restarts the match with the ball place in the center of the field, where one player must move the ball on the opponents side of the field to play the ball.
Is it true that in the NFL a placekick or dropkick doesn't have to be considered a FG attempt?
By rule, if you kick the ball during a scrimmage down, it's called a "scrimmage kick." If a scrimmage kick off the ground goes through the uprights, it's a field goal. Technically, there is no rule that defines a field goal "attempt." You don't necessarily have to "attempt" a field goal when placekicking on a scrimmage down, but if your kick doesn't go through the uprights, the same rules apply as would for a missed field goal.
When the ball crossed over the goal line and was last touched by the offence team who puts the ball back in place?
If the ball is on the opposing team's half of the field, the keeper would then perform a goal kick.
