Question

Both feet must stay in contact with the ground.

The ball can be thrown in-bounds with sidespin.

Answer 1

The statement that is not true about a soccer throw-in is:

Both feet must stay in contact with the ground.

In a proper soccer throw-in, while the player must keep both feet on or behind the sideline, they do not have to remain in contact with the ground during the throw. After tossing the ball, they may lift their feet off the ground, as long as they start the throw with both feet behind the line. The other statements about the throw-in are indeed true.
