According to the Rules of FIFA, is slide tackling from behind when there is no contact with a player, a foul?

a tackle is deemed as a player disposessing an opposing player and the tackling players team either gaining possession of the ball or the ball going out of play, ie the attacking team losing possession basically........

Uhhh thats such a complicated rule to explain... lol ill attempt.... You are ruled offsides anytime your behind the last defender on the opposing team... You are allowed to be offsides as long as the ball doesnt come to you or as long as you are not involved in the play... If the ball comes to you and you are offsides the line judge will raise his flag and rule you offsides...you can receive the ball offsides if you are onsides when the ball is kicked and you run to the ball from an onsides to an offsides positions... Hope this helped a little... also you are not offsides if you receive the ball directly from the goalkick, throw-in or corner kick... this site may also help you http://www.decatursports.com/articles/offsides.htm

FIFA World Cup issued new guidelines for interpreting the offside law in 2003 and these were incorporated in law 11 in July 2005. The new wording seeks to more precisely define the three cases as follows:\n\nInterfering with play means playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a teammate. \nInterfering with an opponent means preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or movements or making a gesture or movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an opponent. \nGaining an advantage by being in an offside position means playing a ball that rebounds to him off a post or crossbar or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in an offside position. \nIn practice, a player in an offside position may be penalised before playing or touching the ball if, in the opinion of the referee, no other team-mate in an onside position has the opportunity to play the ball.\n\nThe referees' interpretation of these new definitions is still proving controversial until this day, largely over what movements a player in an offside position can make without being judged to be interfering with an opponent.

It goes back to the first days of the Premier League. Offside means just that. When a player is past the second last defender, he is Off his Side and therefore not supposed to play the ball.\nWhen I went through referee school, Law 11, which covers Offside, is not even one complete page. BUT.... it had 2 videos, about 100 slides, and took over an hour of class time. But it is one of the most simple laws of soccer/football.

Yes, and with hefty monetery penalties. Check Article 65 of the FIFA disciplinary code (FDC)http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/do/den.pdf\nThis is a football game not a boxing match.

It is sometimes quite confusing!\nGenerally the offensive player cannot wait for the ball behind the last defender not counting the other team's goalie.  If that offensive player shows just a little part of his body or more behind the imaginary line where the last defender is before the ball is kicked and sent forward.\nThe confusing part is whether the offside player is actively or will actively play the ball or not determine whether it is an offside or not.  To me even though the offside player is not actively playing the offside ball, he can distract the defender enough to affect the play, it should be an offside.\nIf the ball is touched or deflected by the defender before the offside player receives the ball, it is still an offside.  But if the defender is trying to control the ball but the ball somehow gets through him or her, it is not an offside.  \nMay be better not to have an offside rule.  It should be the defenders' job not to leave a guy unmarked close to his goal.\nJust me!

what you are probably referring to is the off side rule. That rule basically states that a player who receives a pass from his teamate has to be at least level with the second to last player on the opposing team. Counting the goalkeeper, this usually means that strikers have to be level with the opposing team's last defender not to be offside.

Well the simple rules, are you are not allowed to pass the ball forwards, only backwards, taclking is always better if the person tackles his/her rival from underneath the waste, even better by the kneew, cuz its easier that they fall that way, and the point is to score a touch done withouth them tackling you, if they do drop the ball by your side so that maybe someone from ur team can get eat, only through it when there is someone from you team in sight

I did see this, and it's definitely questionable.  I used to referee soccer and the ball does not have to be directly kicked towards an offensive player to be considered offsides.  Once past the final defender, any ball put in play in that direction will render the player offsides.  This play seemed to be a huge error in officiating at the World Cup.

if a player is beyond the defence of the opposition while the pass has been made to him, he is declared offside. so this player has to be behind the defensive line of the opposition to eliminate such an advantage.

when he gets a red card or 2 yellows in the same game. 2 yellows equal a red. Cards are given at the discretion of the referee. If you tackle too hard, do something unsportsmanlike, or malicious. Slide tackling someone without contacting the ball is a card, stuff like that. Punching someone, elbowing, arguing etc.

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.

There is a difference between when a player going to ground when there has been zero contact (eg. Arsenal's Robert Pires against Portsmouth last season)and when a player is nudged/tripped/leant-into/had his shirt pulled and he decides to make the most of it (eg. England's Michael Owen against Argentina in World Cup 98).\n\nThe former can be classed as 'diving' and the latter as 'over-reacting'.\n\nMost would argue that this is a problem in the modern game - simply because it's irritating to see. Diving will continue to be rife until the day FIFA give referees a zero-tolerance mandate to clamp down on this kind of thing. \n\nUntil players realise that they'll get a red card for diving, there will be no incentive for them to stop.
