Can the goal keeper touch a ball in the other teams goal box?

Answer 1

During the taking of a penalty kick, the kicker may not touch the ball a second time until it has touched another player.

The goal post or crossbar is not another player.
The goal keeper is another player.

Answer 2

If the ball rebounds off the goalkeeper, the ball is considered in play from then on. Anybody can play the ball, including the penalty taker; however, if the ball only bounces off the post or crossbar, the penalty taker cannot play the ball again until another player has touched it.

Note that the above only holds true for a penalty kick that takes place during the 90/120 minutes of the match. For kicks from the mark (a.k.a. penalty shoot out) once the shot has missed or has been saved, it is out of play.

Answer 3

No. The back-pass rule refers to two clauses within Law 12 of the Laws of the Game of football (soccer). These clauses prohibit the goalkeeper from intentionally handling the ball when a team-mate uses his/her feet or a throw-in to pass them the ball.

The actual offence committed is the handling of the ball by the goalkeeper, not the ball being passed or thrown back. An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place where the offence occurred, i.e., where the goalkeeper deliberately handled the ball (unless the offence was committed within the goal area, in which case the kick is taken from a point on the forward edge of the goal area closest to where the offence occurred).

AnswerHe cannot touch it with his hands (pick it up) but he can head or kick it without penalty.

Answer 4

No, the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball directly after a teammate has kicked it to him. The presence of an opponent in the penalty area is irrelevant. The Laws of the Game do not make accommodations for bad play or poor strategy.

Answer 5

Not with their hands. A goal keeper may only use his hands inside of his own penalty area.
