So jimbo, as enraptured as I am with futbol as of late, combined with the flagrancy of fouls, the excitement of miskicks and lost passes, what constitutes an off-sides in soccer? (since HENRY seems to be the master of it today)
Here’s that pesky offsides rule: If a player in an offside position receives a pass from a teammate; to be offsides, the player must be behind the defense, giving him an advantage to score. Then, an indirect free kick is awarded to the non-offending team. Offside is defined as occurring at the moment the ball is played by one of the attacking players to a teammate in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if they are nearer to the opponents’ goal line than the ball, unless (a) the player is in their own half of the field, or (b) there are at least two opponents (one may be the goalkeeper) nearer the goal line than the player.
A player is penalized if they are in an offside position AND if, in the judgment of the referee, the player is (a) interfering with play or with an opponent, or (b) seeking to gain an advantage by being in that position. A player is not declared offside (a) merely by being in an offside position; (b) if they receive the ball directly from a goal kick, a corner kick, a throw in, or a drop ball; or (c) if the ball is last played by an opposing player.
It doesn’t get more simple than that.
As simple as football is, those are dumb rules. But I will be there to watch games with y'all. Portugal vs. England should be cool I think the Brazil vs. !*$*#*# match will be better.
Argentina/Germany won't suck either.....
