Do any girls know what offside means :)?

Question

Common ladies show us some girl power!

Answer 1

I assume you mean soccer since you posted this in the World Cup forum.

I'm impressed that you know it is "offside" not "offsides"

There are two parts to offside: offside position and offside offence.

OFFSIDE POSITION:
It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. 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.
A player is not in an offside position if
* he is in his own half of the field of play or
* he is level with the second last opponent or
* he is level with the last two opponents.

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 team, he 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.

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.

Also, there is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
* a goal kick or
* a throw-in or
* a corner kick

Answer 2

Offside is a Law in football (soccer) which effectively limits how far forward attacking players may be when involved in play. A player cannot gain an advantage by waiting for the ball with only the goalkeeper or last defender between him and the goal.
The application of the offside rule is best considered in three steps; Offside position, Offside offense and Offside sanction......

Answer 3

Offsides in football (soccer) is when a player from one team is behind the player closest to the goal on the other team.
Example:
If a striker from the US is the closest one to the other team's goal and he doesn't have the ball, then he would be considered offsides.

Answer 4

Offside, off-sides, off-side or off side can refer to:

A rule in a number of field sports to regulate aspects of player positioning
Offside law (football) in association football (soccer)
One of the penalties in American and Canadian football

Answer 5

yes don't you think we play sports too. It is where you are on the wrong side. I think in football. That is what 15 yard penalty. But you look like a soccer dude. Football is a much better sport to play I think. I'm not much into soccer. So I'm not sure the penalty for soccer is.

Answer 8
