wats an offside in football ??

Answer 1

That is when a player moves across the line of scrimmage before they are supposed to.<<----That's in American football.

Answer 2

You are talking about soccer: There are some very subtle changes this year, but I will try to explain. Offside can only take place over the centre line in the opponents half. If a player on the attacking side is closer to the goal (looking across the pitch), with only one of the opposing side (usually the goalkeeper) in front of him, when the ball is played, he is offside. Not offside if there are at least two of the opposing side closer to the goal. You cannot be offside from a corner kick. The new rule: if an attacker is closer to the goal with only one player between him and the goal, BUT the referee decides he is not interfering with play, the referee can continue play and not call offside. You can also be offside from a free kick.

Answer 3

Firstly, it is NOT an offence in itself to be in an offside position!

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

A player is NOT in an offside position if he/she is in his/her own half of the pitch or if he/she is level with the second last opponent or if he/she is level with the last two opponents.


Committing an Offside Offence
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his/her team, he/she is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by interfering with play or interfering with an opponent or gaining an advantage by being in that position.

No Offence
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick or from a throw-in / corner kick.

Infringements/Sanctions
For any offside offence, the referee awards an indirect free kick to the opposing team to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred.

Answer 4

Dear Brat,
Very Simple:
Imagine team A is attacking and Team B is defending.for sure there is a space between B defenders and their goalkeeper.OK?
now A players should pass the ball to one of their players to score a goal.If the player who is going to receive the ball and score it locate between the above mentioned space,Then he is in Offside.
