you can't pass the ball to a player who is ahead the ball and has no defender (at least one) between him and the goal.

A player is in an offside position if
he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.

ok.
its hard to explain w/out a sketch but here we go.
when a player on the offending team kicks the ball foreward, and at that same instant another player on the offending team is closer to the goal side than any player on the defending team, excluding thier goalie.

basically, you can't have fast breaks like in basketball. if someone's passing to a person who's going towards the goal, he can't kick the pass unless the person going towards the goal is behind a defender.

Frankly, it's a dumb rule. Discourages offense.
