1. If defender is shepherding the ball out near the touchline and a striker gently touches his back then he can flop to the ground and almost always wins a free kick. The exact same scenario with roles reversed, inside the box and the referee will always wave play on.
2. Try to play the ball with a high foot in front of you and if another players head is anywhere near the ball it is always a free kick. If your foot contacts their head you will be booked and possibly sent off. Do the same with a bicycle kick inside the box and unless you actually kick them in the head a free kick is unlikely to to be awarded. You will almost never be booked and will never be sent off.
Any others?
