Soccer Question 5
Laws of Soccer - Advanced - Except for "deliberately handling the ball", a penal foul (punished by a direct free kick) must necessarily involve contact with an opponent (the opponent's equipment, such as his jersey, is included in the meaning of "contact").
The correct answer is 'No'
There are ten penal fouls which are punishable by a direct free kick, and three of them don't require you actually contact your opponent. A player can be penalized for attempting to either "trip, kick, or strike an opponent" (Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct) and even if the dexterity of the player being fouled causes the attempt to miss, the referee can still award a free kick, if that attempt causes harm in some way (for example, the player with the ball loses tempo as a result of the attempt to trip, strike, or kick, which causes the player to lose possession of the ball). The other seven penal fouls, however, must successfully take place for a foul to be called.
