Soccer Referee Advantage

Playing advantage in soccer is where the referee has the responsibility to NOT call an obvious foul.
This is if, by stopping play at that moment, the effect would be to cause greater harm to the team that was fouled.
The advantage is to last only a few seconds, about 3 seconds, or until the fouled player successfully passes the ball to another member of their team.
The next time that the ball is dead, or gameplay is stopped, the official may go back and give the player who committed the foul a yellow or red card.
An example of the advantage rule is if a forward is on a breakaway.
The opposing goalkeeper comes out to meet them.
Just before the goalkeeper arrives, the striker gets off a weak shot.
The goalkeeper then proceeds to foul the striker by tackling them.
After the collision, the ball slowly makes its way into the goal.
The foul by the goalkeeper occurs before the goal is scored.
If the referee were to blow their whistle at the time of the tackle, this would have negated the goal.
Negating the goal clearly benefits the fouling team.
Accordingly, the Referee does not blow his whistle and waits to see what happens.
The referee soccer advantage signal is raising both arms and hands up showing that play is to continue. #Short
