In American football can a player on the kicking team retrieve a field goal attempt if it does not cross the line of scrimmage?
Yes. As long as the ball has not crossed the line of scrimmage, it is treated like a fumble and can be recovered by either team. Note that if the offense recovers, the down is still in effect. If it is fourth down, they would need to reach the line to gain a first down or else the ball would be turned over to the defense anyway.
If the ball travels beyond the line of scrimmage, the same rules apply as to any kicked ball. The defense can let it roll dead (which would be the same as a missed FG) or attempt to return it. If the defense touches it beyond the line of scrimmage, the offense could recover and would have a first down.

Can the offense advance a blocked field goal in football?
Yes, in football, if a field goal attempt is blocked by the defense, the offense can still advance the ball if they recover it behind the line of scrimmage.
How much do you add to get a filed goal yardage?
To determine the yardage for a field goal attempt in American football, you add the distance from the line of scrimmage to the end zone (10 yards) to the distance of the kick. For example, if the ball is on the 30-yard line, you would add 30 yards to 10 yards, resulting in a 40-yard field goal attempt.
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 a field goal attempt is blocked is the ball dead if it passes the line of scrimmage?
If a field goal attempt is deflected by an opposing player, that deflection is considered a Blocked attempt.
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).
What is the difference between latin America football and American football?
A whole lot of skill!ANSWERIf by "Latin American football" you mean soccer or association football, there are almost no similarities between the two games. In soccer, you kick the ball down the field in an attempt to score a goal into the opponent's net. In American football, you run and pass the ball down the field in an attempt to score a touchdown in the opponent's end zone. Soccer doesn't allow use of the hands and prohibits contact; American football emphasizes ball handling and is a full-contact sport.
In what sport would you try and convert?
In American football after a touchdown you would attempt a 1 or 2 point conversion.
Is a pat a field goal in American football?
No, a pat is not a field goal in American football. A pat, short for point after touchdown, is a kick attempt worth one point that follows a touchdown. A field goal is a kick attempt worth three points that can be attempted at any time during a game.
On a field goal attempt can a team place the football down beyond the normal 7 yards in order to help prevent blocked kicks?
Yes. There is no rule specifing how far behind the line of scrimmage the kick must take place. Seven yards is usually used as it is the shortest distance behind the line of scrimmage that the kick can take place without fear of it being blocked, if the blockers do their jobs.
Where do you spot the ball on an icomplete pass after a fourth down attempt inside the 20 yard line?
still at the line of scrimmage anywhere you are on the field.
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.
