Hi there!
For the shake of knowing, the link provided below serves as a valuable reference for individuals who confidently assert football (and futsal?) rules in their statements, even when they might not possess a deep understanding of the regulations. It can help clarify the nuances of handball situations in defensive positions.

In my perspective, I believe it's inappropriate to call handballs in defensive positions during our friendly games, especially when there's no clear opportunity for a goal to be prevented. This is particularly true when the ball comes from the defender, and the hand is in a natural position, with no intention of handling the ball which it was precisly my handball during the game. At most, my handball is up be interpreted either way by a qualified referee.

PS. I am assuming that futsal share the same regulations for the handballs as in football.

Game tonight at Merihaka. See you there!

Another thing I have noticed that confuses some players is the ball out rule. Often from a further distance, the angle can be fooling to the eye. if the ball is touching the line, it is still in play. The ball is out of play when it has crossed the goal line or touch line, on the ground or in the air - the whole of the ball must be over the line.
