*If the referee doesnt hold up anything, it is indirect, which means it has to be touched by another player before it goes in the goal
*Penalty kick is when someone touches the ball with their hand/arm or when it's a control-foul
* A foul is when a player kicks, trips, jumps, charges, pushes, or spits at another player
