In football (soccer), an off-side is when the player receiving the ball has only one player from the opposition (goal keeper/other player) before him and the opponent's goal. However, this applies as off-side only at the time when the ball is being passed to the said player and if (s)he is in the opponent's half of the field. If there is only one defender before him on receipt of the ball, it is not called an off-side.

If you are a striker, and you want to excel, you should be aware of the offside rule. It is very easy to avoid.

no goal means that even though the ball is in the goal something happened before it crossed the line and therefore making it a void.\n\nOffside is simple, if a player from team (lets call it..) X is closer to the goal Y than a defense player from team Y and receives the ball from a fellow player, it is called offside. \nIt is ok to receive the ball next to the opponent and then run faster to the goal than the defense player though.\n\nI think the inventor of this rule had very slow runners in his team and had to give them a chance to keep up, :)\n\nHope it helped

Dear Jaynicole,\nVery Simple:\nImagine team A is attacking and Team B is defending.for sure there is a space between B defenders and their goalkeeper.OK?\nnow 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.\n\nPlease check the link below on pages 60-66.\nSome possible Offsides are describe by pictures:\n\nhttp://www.fifa.com/documents/fifa/laws/LOTG2005_e.pdf\n\nand also this link : \n http://www.burtrandworld.co.uk/offside-rule.php\n\nBest Regrades.............Iranian Bobby

It's not how he is related to Player A but to the ball. If Player B is nearer the opponents goal line than the ball (plus the usual about where opponents are) then he is offside. If he is level or behind the ball when it is passed he is not offside.\n\nIt doesn't matter which direction the ball travels in as well.

OFSIDE POSITION\nIt is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:\n• he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent\nA player is not in an offside position if:\n• he is in his own half of the field of play or\n• he is level with the second last opponent or\n• he is level with the last two opponents\nIn the definition of offside position, “nearer to his opponents’ goal line” means that any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to his   opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last  opponent. The arms are not included in this definition.\n\nYELLOW AND RED CARDS\nYellow and red cards were first introduced in the game by British referee Ken Aston and its first major use was in the 1970 World Cup:\nThe cards are shown to the players who have committed a foul. The color of the card depends on the severity of the foul.\nA yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned.\nA red card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially send-off or expelled from the game, and must leave the field inmediatly and won't be able to play the rest of the game.\nThe referee can give as many cards as needed, the amount of card given is related to the number of offences (requiring a card)  during the game.\nDuring a game a player can receive:\n1 red card the player,  and the player is expell from the game and no substitute player can come in. \n1 yellow card (the player has been officially cautioned)\n2 yellows card, which is the maximum allow, and it's equivalent to 1 red card and the player has to leave the match (and that's way the referree after the second yellow shows the red card). And like a direct red card, the player can't play the next game for the team and no substitute player can come in.\nBut during the tournament the player can receive any number of cards.\n\nReceving a yellow card caution\nThere are seven different offences that can get you a yellow card:\n# Anything that can be deemed as unsporting behaviour\n# Dissent by word or action\n# Persistent infringement of the laws, for example a series of fouls\n# Delaying the restart of play\n# Not retreating the full ten yards at a free-kick or corner\n# Entering or re-entering the field without the referee's permission\n# Deliberately leaving the field without the referee's permission\n\nReceving a instant red card send-off\nThere are seven offences you can be shown a straight red card for:\n# Serious foul play.This includes a tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent.\n# Violent conduct such as throwing a punch\n# Spitting at an opponent or another person\n# A player other than the goalkeeper denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity by handling the ball\n# A goalkeeper would be similarly punished if they intentionally handle the ball outside their goal area\n# Committing an offence that denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (informally known as a professional foul)\n# Using offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures\n\nReceiving Second Yellow card\nIf the referee shows a player a second yellow card in the game, the referee will show the second yellow card before holding up the red card, meaning that the player is sent off or expelled from the game.\n\nSuspensions (Red card)\nRule: A red card implies 1 game suspension.\nIf a player gets a red card, in the final game, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays.\n\nCarry on the cautions (Yellow card)\nThe exact punishments are determined by tournament or competition rules (not by the Laws of the Game). The cautions are accumulate for a certain phase of a the world cup tournament.\nRules:\n* A yellow card is carry over, and 2 yellow cards equal a red and a 1 game suspension.\n* A yellow card is carry on during the first and second phase of the t

It is too complicated to explain. You can have a look at the link below.\n\nIn brief. It is not allowed for a player of the opposite team to be near your goalpost unless he has the ball or he is "supervised" by your defender. \n\nThink of a hypothetical line that is parallel to the goal line and moves with your last defender (closer to your goalpost). An opponent should not pass this line unless he has the ball.The only other occasion he can pass it is when one of his teammates is throwing the ball to the open space so he can run and get it. This imaginary line is automatically canceled when the ball has passed it or it is between your last defender and your goalkeeper.\n\nA player can be in an offside position only in the opponents half of the field.\n\nIn this world cup a player can be on the other half of the field and not be in an offside position if he is not threatening the other team. This makes things more complicated. Most of the referees if a player is inactive on the other half of the field they say he is in an offside position the moment the ball is thrown over that imaginary line. They consider that in that moment is becoming active and he has not started behind the line to reach the ball so he is in offside.

no teams player shall be in an advanced position of the opposing teams last (outfeild)  player in relation to the position of the goal when the ball is played to him (and not when he receives the ball-as commonly perceived). "the player is in an offside position if he is nearer the opponents goal-line than the ball and second to last opponent". (incuding the opposing goal-keeper)

The rule was changed so that play would not be interrupted unnecessarily. Like you, I didn't quite get it. I looked up "new offside rule" on Google and came up with the link below. It seems to explain it quite well.

A player is an offside position if he is nearer the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last opponent.\n(Exceptions: the player is in his own half of the field, it is a throw-in, goal-kick, or corner kick).\n\nIt is an offsides offence if a player is in an offside position (as defined above) and:\nthe ball is played or touched by a teammate; and\nthe player interferes with the play, or an opponent, or gains some advantage from being in an offsides position.

As long as the ball is always in front of them it is not offsides.

Very simple in fact.\n\nA person is considered offside if he is in a position where there are not at least 2 players between him and the opponents goal line.\nThese can be ANY 2 players though usually one of these will be the goalkeeper.\n\nThe rule is applied at the moment the ball is PASSED to the player and NOT when he receives it.\n\nSo, if a player in "onside" when a player kicks the ball to him but then advances up the field and the ball reaches him in an offside position then it is ok.\n\nThe reverse also applies. If he is in an offside position when the ball is passed to him and then heads back onside to get the ball then he is still considered offside.\n\nThree more exeptions to the rule.\n\n1. A player can not be offide within his own half of the field.\n\n2. A player is not offside if the ball was passed back by the opposition.\n\n3. A player is not offside if he is behind the ball when it is kicked to him. For example, a player managed to ran to the line and then passed back to a team mate. He can't be offside.

I agree with you. It's fine to take play back the the first foul(the offside play) but something should definitely be available as a guide for the referee to have some discretion in a situation like that. It was uncalled for and very unsportsman like. You will see this happen frequently though such is the heat of the moment and the passion of the World Cup.
