In the Goal kick situation (Rule 16)
The ball is considered in play ONLY when it is kicked directly beyond the penalty area.
So in this case the Kick is retaken.
-----------
EDIT:
Since the ball is not considered in play until after it leaves the penalty area, it is impossible to score an own goal directly off of a goal kick (an own goal may be awarded if the ball comes off of a teammate outside the box, however).

In 1994, defender Andrés Escobar scored an own goal in a World Cup match against the United States; shortly after the team returned to Colombia, Escobar was murdered.

when a goal keeper takes a goal kick, his back is towards his own goalpost. he kicks the ball away from his goal post. unless there is a really heavy wind or the ball somehow does a 360 degree turn,its impossible for a goal keeper to score an own goal from a goal kick

Anytime the ball goes into a goal, points are scored. It does not matter who kicked it in.
I should know, my son ran all the way down the field and kicked it into our teams goal a couple of years ago. It was and is still quite funny. That was his first year. It has not happend since though. :-)

u cant kick a goal kick into ur own goal...usually a full-back will stand in the goal for a while but the kick is going out wards and going in goal is highly unlikely if not impossible

This is my understanding of the game. Since the goalie is guarding his opponent's goal, to keep them from scoring; any time the ball goes in it, there is a point scored. I really doubt that a goalie could kick the ball from one end of the field to the other end to score a point for his team.

It's called an 'own goal', although it would take a heckuva bend or ricochet to get it in there.
In many countries, the fans of the team that the goalie plays for would find him and kill him.

the opposing team would score, or more understandably, whoever is supposed to score in that goal, would get the goal. when you score in your own goal (as in your goalie guards that goal), then it is call an own goal.
as for references...you could probably find it anywhere...official site for fifa or like MLS.

Then it's a goal for the other team.
