Dimensions on a soccer pitch?


Recommended Posts

If the distance from the six yard box to the edge of the penalty box is 36 ft and a free kick is given 5ft outside the box how can a referee justify MAKING the defending team stand on the six yard line when the distance defenders legally  have to retreat is 30 feet(10 yards) ? What am I missing?

More pressingly, who measures pitches in feet rather than yards
