What makes the offside rule especially complicated is that a player can be in an "offside position" without being offside. Two things are necessary to be "offside":
1st - The player must be in an "offside position" at the moment the ball is "played" by a teammate. To be in an "offside position", a player must be on the opponent's half of the field & closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball & the second-last defender. A player is not in an offside position if he is on his own half of the field (i.e. the half his goalkeeper is on), or even with the second-to-last defender or the last 2 defenders. (The goalkeeper is usually the last defender, or one of the last two, but he might not be; the rules just refer to the last 2 defenders & don't mention the goalkeeper). This is often difficult to call. (For example, if a player is even with the Second Last Defender & thereby in an "onside position" but runs past the Second Last Defender a split second after his teammate makes a through pass. In this example, the player is not offside because he was in an onside position at the moment the ball was played.)
2nd - The player must be involved in "active play" by either:
* gaining an advantage by being in an offside position, or
* interfering with play, or
* interfering with an opponent

Sunsuk: here are the basics: You can only be offside in the other teams half of the field. You cannot be offside from a corner. You are not offside if the referee considers you are not interfering with play. You are not offside if an opposing player passes the ball back towards his goal and you take the ball - it is deemed that he 'played you onside'. Now here is a perfect scenario: you are in the opposing half with only the goalkeeper between you and the goal - you are offside if the ball is passed to you by one of your own team. You are not offside if you are level with an opposing player but this is a big problem with the World Cup. So, to sum up, if you are in the opposing teams half and there is only the goalkeeper OR one OTHER opposing player between you and the goal when the ball is played by one of your own team towards you - you are offside. If there are two opposition players between you and the goal you are not offside.......... Hope it helps................

An offside is when a player from your team is ahead of all the the players of the other team before the ball is passed to him.
For example, Henry in the France vs. Spain match was perpetually behind the Spanish defensive line, much before the midfielders would feed him the ball.

At the point in time the ball is deflected or kicked toward the goal line. The attacking team must have two defending opponents between their position and the goal line. lest this is considered by FIFA to be gaining an unfair advantage. While some may add that the player is not offside if he is not interfering with play, then the question must be asked " if a player is not interfering/interacting with play , then what in the name of Allah is he doing on the field anyway? "

Offsides is when an attacking player is past the last defender when the ball is passed to him. An attacking player can make sun and be past the last defender when he received the ball as long as he didnt pass the last defender before the ball was played.

Offsides in soccer is when the player is ahead of the ball on the opponents side of the field. There is no offsides on your 50.

It is when the ball is played by one player, to another attacking player (from the same team)... and he has less than 2 defending players in front of him (though he can be level, with the 2nd defending player).
So if a England striker has recieved a pass (from mid-field) and at the time the ball is struck (by the mid-fielder), he has a goalkeeper and a defender in front of him... he is ON-SIDE!
