  1. technically legal, but nobody was ever allowed to do that – ronaldinho had at least 2 goals disallowed for this 🙁

  2. It is 100% not legal per the rules of the game. Goalie cannot be interfered with while distributing the ball.

    An indirect free kick is awarded if…a player prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from the hands or kicks or attempts to kick the ball when the goalkeeper is in the process of releasing it.

    Rule 12.16 says that it is still in goalies possession until it hits the ground.
