Referees and the Soccer Rules

The soccer rules and regulations state that it is the referees job to control the game by enforcing the rules and regulations or 17 laws. One distinct difference to most other sports is the referees may let the game continue when a foul is committed if he or she believes that there is an advantage to the fouled players team. This rule is the advantage clause, and the referee will call play on and or do a hand motion placing both hands forward .
