On the edge of the penalty box. Why is it there?

For penalty kick run ups

it marks out the 10 yard limit from the penalty spot

the remainder of the 10 yard circle is not needed as no on is allowed in the box for the penalty kick

aside from the ref, penalty taker and goalkeeper.

I always though aliens did them all.

Curves are sexy. Them , the centre circle and the little bits at the corner flags are there to break up the straight lines and to make the whole pitch layout subliminally attractive. All the curvy bits were designed by Norweigan hipsters that Sepp Blatter was mates with when he was little.
