Matt You might not be but FIFA are partially metric. All measurements in the Laws are quoted in both imperial and Metric. 10 yards is 9.15m, 18 yards is 16.5m, etc.

It's actually the 6 yard box and the 18 yard area. Players retreat 10 yards for freekicks. We invented it, doesn't mean we have to be the best but we are not going metric! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric B Sent: 14 June 2010 10:36 To: Alec Cc: Leedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Offside rule clarification whats the penalty box? is that the 5 meter box you re referring to? I think theres a lame rule stating that if there is a shot towards goal and a player is in the 5 meter box then that player is offside no matter what. I hope this rule does not exist anymore. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
