Penalty Kick with Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity

Aug. 27, 2010

Anticipation is often discussed in the context of a Referee reading the options available to players and basing movement and positioning on where and what the next decision will likely be (the “next phase of play”). Similarly, anticipation by the Assistant Referee allows them to initiate movement so that an accurate offside decision can be made while staying with advancing play and while locked into the Second-To-Last-Defender (STLD).
