Port's Home Town Free-Kick Advantage
Nobody ever said that home ground advantage consisted solely of free kicks either way. In the ebb and flow of a match it is very easy for the umpires to influence the game (read: favour one team) via many ways, including allowing a play-on (ie an 'anti-freekick': a stat not recorded), disallowing a play on (calling

Dallas Coach Admits He Blew Free-Kick Call
You've just plucked 3 superb players and decided that they're all free-kick specialists. I disagree. Apart from Rivaldo, perhaps. None are as good as either Beckham or PVH imo. Agreed. Rivaldo I think is good at them, but I don't think the others have a reputation for being great at free kicks.

Im not saying it is but Le Tissier said in the press today it was the best free kick he has ever seen and they were running with it on Talk Sport today, its hard to say it was the best ever the arguement against roberto carlos's kick was that it was almost a little hit and hope where as with Nakas it was perfection

Free kick in the penalty area?
I don't have any indication of where the rule came from, but I do know that both the free kick after a fair catch, and the return kick were prohibited in college football in the late 1920's. --Jay Scott No, much later. The NCAA allowed free kick from fair catch until 1950. I don't remember when they prohibited the

Port's home town free kick advantage .....is very slight and does not make up for the bias they face interstate. The indispensable AFL Tables reveals Port has received 113 frees for at Football Park and conceded 103.

free (intead of penalty) kick ?
I've only been following football for roughly five years now (it wasn't really accessible enough to follow it from America prior to USA94) and up until now, I'd never seen a free kick awarded in the penalty area. Isn'ta foul committed in the penalty area grounds for a penalty kick instead of a free kick?

Our second goal from Thierry Henry's free-kick sparked a lot of debate. I ain't got a problem with 'quick' free kicks. I *do* have a problem with refs instigating them though! And for having a nice cosy chat for 15 seconds.... And for telling the defender to get back even though the striker didn't want 10 yards.

Had it been a first offence, few would dispute a free kick rather than a penalty. Since he had been warned about avoiding engagement and since the offence was a time-wasting offence by a team with a narrow lead in the last minutes of a match, few could complain about it being a penalty rather than a free kick (were
