Where can I get Information on 'Offside' rule in Soccer? Can any one explain how a player is decided off-side?

Answer 1

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

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

No offence
There is no offside situation if a player receives the ball directly from:

a goal kick
or
a throw-in
or
a 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 2

Offside occurs when the defenders create the last wall of defence. An offensive player stands behind this line, prior to the ball being delivered to the player in the advance position. In order for the offensive player to beat the trap. The player must start their run after the pass or the ball being deliver to them gets delivered to them.....

Now there is a passive rule to this.

A player may be offside but if the player stops from interfering with the advancement of the ball that person might not be of side. If you need to see an example of this play just look back to the France vs Spain game where Henry was in offside position but stopped and was not involved in the play, Where the Goal by french player counted. I hope this helps.....

Wow. Sumeet yoiu have a lof if patience my friend. You deserve the 10 points. I was going to tell you that it is rather hard to explaoin in a written format. But if you continue watching world up you will start figuring it out. The basic rule is that the offensive player that the pass is intended to can not be behind the last player in defense when the ball is played to him. However, a player can be in an offside position if the ball is played directly at goal or at another player making a run, as long as the player that is in the offside position never interferes with the position and never touches the ball.

Answer 4

offside is when a player already goes ahead the player that has the ball and stands there for the ball so can score easy but you can pass back of you. Pick me as a best answer because my dad works as a director of soccer

Answer 5

When they are on offense and they receive a pass while they are past all the defenders. If they don't have the ball, there must be at least one defender (not including the goalie) behind them before they can get it. This is to avoid someone simply waiting next to the opponent's goal the entire game.
