Best Answer

Players may lay down during a free kick to create a defensive wall that blocks the ball's path to the goal, making it harder for the opposing team to score. This tactic is used to protect the goal and increase the chances of stopping the free kick from resulting in a goal.

Soccer is a great sport. I call it a sport because it's athletically challenging and requires a good deal of skill. Players fake injuries during play because that is often an easy way to draw a penalty or free kick.


If someone falls in soccer and still tries to kick the ball while they are down what kind of free kick is it?

It is not an offense to play the ball while on the ground. This common belief stems the fact that at the youth levels it is often considered "dangerous play" (an indirect free kick offense). As the players progress in skill it becomes a non-issue, yet players and spectators continue to believe there is a law against it. Is it possible a skilled player could make a dangerous play while on the ground? Yes. The fact that they were on the ground would not be the problem.
