This question raises an important point. Someone, preferably the Linesman, should be focusing directly on the kicked ball to determine exactly each free kick is sent down into the ground, or up into the air.

When this play is executed properly, it would not be surprising that a member of K would draw a flag from another official for, what would certainly look like an apparent KCI foul. An alert Linesman, or other official assigned to that responsibility, would likely be the only official who would be able to correct what would be an incorrect penalty application.

Another little assignment that should be decided during the pre-game discussion.
