I feel like this is an utterly stupid or interesting question. (Depending on which way you choose to look at it)
But I just watched the England game where Sczeszczczszny (sp?) got fouled from a corner and it got me to thinking...
Regardless of how ineffective or brilliant it might be, is there anything in the rules that would prevent a pair of defenders literally lifting up the goalkeeper to be able to more easily claim a lofted in corner kick?
(Similar to rugby when a throw in or line out whatever it’s called is taken).
I then got to thinking if there are rules that state this type of thing isn’t allowed, because you could do some pretty creative things leveraging other players on your team for some kind of advantage.
I’ve often wondered for instance whether you could literally line up 11 of your players on the goal line to create an actual wall in front of goal in certain situations (I’m sure that has actually been done before when defending an indirect free kick in the penalty area conceded from a back pass). The “draught excluder” is one that seems to be becoming more popular etc.
Non-standard play or thinking outside of the box if you like.
