Who "owns" the ball after a goal

[Unregistered]

For all of you armchair referees out there who claim superior knowledge of soccer rules because, a) you have a European accent, an b) you watch professional soccer on tv:

After a goal is scored, the possession of the ball belongs to the team that was scored upon. It is their responsibility to return the ball to the center circle in a timely fashion for the kick off.

If they do not, the referee is within their rights to give a warning or a yellow card for delay of game.

If a player on the team that scored races into the goal to pick up the ball, they can be called for a delay of game infraction. If they physically try to take the ball away from a member of the team who has rightful possession, they can be given a yellow card for delay of game or a red card for violent conduct if the action merits it.

Now back to those of you who know the rules solely from watching a lot of soccer -- just because something rarely gets called, doesn't mean it's not a rule, European accent or not.

So coaches -- keep telling your kids to grab the ball out of the net and try to get it back to the center circle when you're trailing. It's smart soccer and you're unlikely to be called for it.

But please tell them that physically attacking a player who has picked up the ball is a foul and pretty poor sportsmanship.

I feel like this would be funnier if it made sense.

Sorry, there is no FIFA rule that states possession of ball after goals.

Well, first of all, to be a little anal, there is no such thing as FIFA rules. IFAB maintains the rules.

What would happen if a player was preparing to take a throw-in and an opposing player ran over and grabbed the ball out of his hands because he thought the player was taking too long? Do the rules specifically say you can't grab the ball out of the hands of a player who is preparing to take a throw-in? I don't think so, so by your logic, that's OK.

What would happen if a player did that when the opposing team was preparing to take a free kick? Or a kick from the spot?

Possession of the ball is awarded to a team for a restart in each of those instances, just as it is to the team that is scored upon after a goal.

Will you get called for a foul if you run into the goal and run the ball to the center spot? Probably not and you probably shouldn't be. But physically trying to wrest it out of the hands of the keeper or other opposing player? At least a yellow 100% of the time, even if the player was delaying the game.

Key word here is "maintains" as you put it.

IFAB is known to take a highly conservative attitude regarding changes to the Laws of the Game. It is a separate body from FIFA, though FIFA is represented on the board and holds 50% of the voting power.

Now what about if a fan raced on the field and took the ball to the circle and tripped over the striker from the team who was scored upon? What does the book say about that?
