It is forbidden to block the ball by jamming it with the feet, legs, etc., if this prevents an opponent from playing the ball (in accordance with the rules). The addition of the rule conformity is important, because it is a variant of dangerous play.
Ah, but blue and green are on separate teams, so technically within the rules. Also there’s a red. Wait what sport is this
Pretty sure it’s Snooker.
Barely know ‘er
It’s easy to score if the two teams work together
What if you get someone really tall and they just bounce it on their head repeatedly while they run down the field?
Shit that is amazing.

For a more values-based interpretation - players have to keep the ball ‘in play’ in a way that the other team can interact with, without posing a danger to the player(s) on your team.
As in this case the play is either unstoppable, or requires the other team to somehow extract the ball from between two players’ chests, it’s a fun theoretical loophole - but is not a fun or safe way of playing football if it became a commonplace strategy. In most cases, this would be seen as daring dangerous play - either the other team needs to kick it free, or jostle the players until they drop the ball, both of which are taking pretty significant risks of injury.

But what if the player gives several million dollars to FIFA? Then can they do it?
No it’s still against the rules. Ref will just happen to not notice it, though. Which is definitely unrelated and totally coincidental.
Also somebody would definitely be offsides.
Offsides only applies if the ball is passed to you
Congrats you invented Rugby 2
It’s more like Roller Derby I think
With how little I know of football. I am sure someone is going to be offside and invalidate the entire plan.
But I like your thinking mate.
So long as they start in their own half they won’t be offside
Tbh I’m not sure what rule/s this breaks, although I assume it must do
I mean… outside of breaking the basic concept of sportsmanship, apparently there are rules about keeping the ball free?
Someone else commented the rules, and I suspect English isn’t their first language, so I didn’t pick up an absolute answer in my lazy browsing, but they came with receipts.
Even if completely stopping the ball from moving was not a violation:
The outside circle cannot actually prevent opponents from getting to the ball, that’s obstruction. You can’t set a screen in football while ignoring the ball.
So you have two players forced to move in an awkward way. The defenders are just going to push them off the ball with a shoulder to shoulder push.
A shoulder to shoulder push?!
Those two players are going to be rolling in pain for hours.
Happens all the time in football.
You just gotta get the other team up there in front of you.
“The enemy goal is down…”
Ender’s Game did it
Can’t do that for the same reason you can’t hold the ball inside your jersey like you’re pregnant with the ball
They send out a medical team to help you deliver the ball in this case too?
Its just not cricket.
Reminded me of "La Cuauhtemiña
Real talk, would that be legal?
I’m so out of the loop. This shit makes no sense to me.
You just broke soccer. I hope your fucking happy.
Someone did this once hundreds of years ago and the coach screams “Just knock them over! Grab them and throw them down! Tackle them!” and all at once American Football was born.
This is a bible story.
And the Lord said “play the big trumpets before the game. And wear the tight pants I told you about”
My fucking
