An indirect free kick is given after a minor foul, such as impeding the progress of an opponent. When it is indirect, you are not allowed to score unless someone else touches it first. What often occurs close to the goal is that one of their team-mates will tap it first, then they will quickly shoot it.
A direct free kick is another type and may directly score a goal without another player touching the ball.
An indirect free kick that occurs in the penalty area will NOT result in a penalty kick as would a direct free kick that occurs in the penalty area.
There are specific infractions that determine whether a free kick is direct or indirect. The referee is not (should not be) just making it up.
A direct free kick may directly score a goal.
An indirect free kick must touch one other player before a goal may be scored.
How do I tell?
Watch the referee while waiting for the kick to be taken.
Is their arm straight up in the air?
If "no," then it is a direct free kick.
If "yes," then it is an indirect free kick.
An indirect free kick has to be taken as a pass. A player cannot shoot from an indirect freekick. Often teams employ a sort of 'lay off' tactic, whereby one player will just very slightly touch the ball and another will shoot, much like a kick in American football, where one player holds the ball and another kicks.
Other freekicks are known as 'direct'. This means that as soon as the referee blows his whistle or gives permission to the shooter, the free kick can be taken and it can be a direct attempt on goal.
There are 8 offenses that can result in an indirect free kick:
- goal keeper controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before releasing it from his possession
- goal keeper touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from his possession and before it has touched another player
- goal keeper touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
- goal keeper touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate
- plays in a dangerous manner
- impedes the progress of an opponent
- prevents the goal keeper from releasing the ball from his hands
- commits any other offense for which play is stopped to caution or send off a player
According to Law 17 of the IFAB's Laws of the Game, the rules the world plays by, a goal may be scored directly from a corner kick (but not against the kicker's team, unless someone else touches the ball before it goes in). Some recreational youth leagues make all restarts indirect, including corner kicks, but this is non-standard and should be discouraged.
