question on football -soccer?

Assuming that you are asking about using video replay evidence before making important decisions - definitely not.  It would inevitably slow down the game and there would still be lots of wrong decisions.  \n\nEven video replay decisions would be sometimes wrong, since a replayed incident can look very different depending on which angle it was filmed from.  \n\nLots of players and managers would argue that a replay should have been used in situations when it wasn't used.\n\nThe referees would be under pressure from the authorities to use the replay evidence sparingly, so that the game is not slowed down too much.  Fans, players and managers, however, would argue for the replay on every small decision.\n\nIt think it would actually cause more friction and controversy rather than less and it would interfere with the flow of the game.

The ball is only "grounded" if it's in the end zone...if the ball is between the goal lines, its a live ball and either team can pick it up.  An onside kick is just shorter and the kicking team has a higher chance of getting the ball back

Very simply--there has to be two defenders between you and the goal unless you are behind the ball. The timing is when the ball is played by one of your team mates.

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

The sport is called soccer in the United States and Canada. But in many countries it is called football, the name Americans give to an entirely different game. In Spanish-speaking countries, where the game is especially popular, the name is fútbol. \n\nWHAT IS SOCCER?\n\nSoccer is a game played by two teams on a field that is shaped like a rectangle. Players on one team try to knock a round ball through the other team’s goal. The field they play on is roughly the size of an American football field.\n\nWHAT ARE THE RULES?\n\nEach soccer team has 11 players. The players can use any part of their bodies to hit the ball, except their hands or arms. Players generally use their feet and heads as they kick, dribble, and pass the ball toward the goal. One player on each team guards the goal and tries to prevent the other team from scoring. This player is the goalkeeper, or goalie. The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to touch the ball with the hands while the ball is in play.\n\nThe other players are divided into defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Defenders, also called fullbacks, try to stop the opposing team from reaching the goal with the ball. Forwards, also called strikers, do most of the scoring. Midfielders, or halfbacks, play defense but also try to score.\n\nHOW LONG DOES A GAME LAST?\n\nMost soccer games are 90 minutes long. They have two 45-minute halves divided by a short break, or halftime. Besides halftime, the action stops only when a team scores, a foul is committed, or a player is injured. The official who makes sure the rules are followed is called the referee. The referee can add extra time at the end of each half to make up for time lost during delays.\n\nHOW OLD IS SOCCER?\n\nPeople have played kicking games with balls since ancient times. The modern form of soccer came from Britain. It dates from the 1860s, when the rules were first written down. \n\nBy the late 1800s, British sailors, traders, and soldiers had carried the game all over the world. Professional soccer leagues soon appeared in many countries. Today, almost every country in Europe, North America, and South America has professional soccer leagues. So do many countries in Africa and Asia.\n\nOne country where soccer didn’t grow very fast was the United States. It wasn’t until the 1970s that many Americans began to follow it. After that, the sport took off. Today, millions of Americans play soccer in schools, colleges, and local leagues.\n\nTHE WORLD CUP\n\nThe World Cup is an international soccer tournament held every four years. There is one World Cup tournament for men and another one for women. The World Cup for men is the most popular sporting event in the world. More than a billion people around the world watch the men’s World Cup on television. \n\nThe 1994 men’s World Cup took place in the United States, as did the 1999 women’s World Cup. Both tournaments helped increase the popularity of soccer in the United States.\n\nWHO ARE SOME FAMOUS SOCCER PLAYERS?\n\nMany soccer fans consider the Brazilian forward named Pelé to be the best soccer player of all time. Pelé led Brazil to three World Cup titles, the last one in 1970. He won fame for his amazing ball control and powerful shots.\n\nEnglish player David Beckham is famous for his long, curving shots. An attacking midfielder, Beckham led the English national team to the quarterfinals in the 2002 World Cup.\n\nRonaldo, another Brazilian forward, is known for his great speed and scoring ability. In 2002, Ronaldo scored both goals in the World Cup final, giving Brazil the championship.\n\nThe American player Mia Hamm is considered one of the greatest female players ever. A forward, Hamm is the all-time leading scorer in international soccer. In 1999, she led the United States to the women’s World Cup title.

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!

If, when the ball is last touched by a teammate, is the player in question closer to the opponent's goal line than:\n1) the half line?\n2) the ball?\n3) the second to the last opponent?\n\nIf you answer yes to all of these, then he was in an offside position when the ball was touched and you can ask the last question:\n4) Did he gain an advantage from his position?\n\nIf you say yes to all questions, the player is guilty of an offside infraction.\n\nHowever, you cannot be found guilty of an offside infraction if you receive the ball directly from a: goal-kick, throw-in, or corner kick.

If it kicks the same way, responds the same way on the field - why would the design on it matter?\n\nThe game is about which team plays best - not about the ball itself.
