In association football, or soccer, a corner kick is when the game restarts after someone scores a goal.

  • False
  • True
Explanation

The statement that "a corner kick is when the game restarts after someone scores a goal" is false. In association football or soccer, a corner kick actually occurs when the defending team last touches the ball before it crosses the goal line, but not into the goal, resulting in a restart from the corner of the field. The purpose of a corner kick is to give the attacking team an opportunity to score directly from the corner by kicking the ball into play in front of the opponent's goal. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that a corner kick is a form of game restart after a goal is scored.
