Geocache Description:

Puzzle cache: do not go to the posted coordinates!

Here's a soccer quiz for you! If you don't know much about soccer, that's okay: you don't have to get the answers right to find the coordinates! If you're heading to the general area for a game, you can solve the puzzle beforehand and then sneak away during halftime to make the find.

It will be difficult to be stealthy evenings and weekends during some parts of the year!

On with the quiz:

A: Are socks considered compulsory equipment?
B: Who ensures that no unauthorized person enters the field of play?
C: What is the minimum number of players that can play on a team?
D: At what point in time is a substitution considered completed?
E: What is the correct color of a player's undergarments?
F: How should an assistant referee position himself for a penalty kick?
G: What is the radius of the center circle?
H: What penalty is assessed when a player spits at an opponent?
I: What should the referee do if the ball becomes defective during the course of a match?
J: How does the referee indicate an advantage play?
K: When are the names of the substitutes given to the referee?
L: To what pressure should the ball be inflated?
M: Under what circumstances may the assistant referees enter the field of play?
N: What is the call when the ball rebounds off the corner flagpost back into the field of play?

Update 1/30/13: The cache has been changed to a small and relocated. The puzzle has been modified to reflect the new location.

Update 8/24/16: Some updates to the questions are required! Many thanks to ifaref for pointing this out. Everything should be good to go now.

Congrats to FTF leitko4!
