A player from the attacking team stands over the ball, with a foot on the ball. THe referee blows his whistle to signal the restart of play. When does the defending team have the right to run and take the ball? In my opinion, as soon as the whistle is blown, the player with his foot on the ball has touched the ball and moved it, causing it to be in play. Otherwise, a second attacking player could run in and blast the ball just as if it were a direct free kick, making an indirect free kick pointless.
