Would have been a cool throw-in...

...except the opponents face got in the way...

Fair play to the lad for getting back up and standing there again. He didn't stand quite so tall though!

[GoldenEagle]

Yea, dude has some balls. Dosen't he have to give the player some room though on the thrw in.

[AlexB]

As long as you're standing inside the field of play, and not making a deliberate movement to impede the thrower, you're allowed to stand millimetres from the line if you want to . As soon as you jump or move towards the thrower, it's a free kick

I took a reffing course earlier this year and I could have sworn they said you have to give three feet

[GoldenEagle]

From the laws of the game...

"All opponents must stand no less than 2m (2 yds) from the point at which the throw-in is taken"

Keep in mind that this is game does not fall under FIFA rules, but instead NSCAA rules.

I am pretty sure there is an unwritten rule in soccer that says it is OK to break a player's leg after he attempts a throw-in like that. :)

I'm a typical football fan in that case - remember the rules from when I played. But the day they change the tape across the top of the two goalposts, that's the last time I'll ever watch a football match.
