Dave of Southamptob, UK asks...

In Euro 2016, Jamie Vardy stood in an off-line position, as the ball was played to him.

Law 11 - Offside 6/11/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I have an offside question under the new rules. I remember a pro game a couple years ago where the A1 kicked the ball toward an offside teammate, A2. A2 realized that he was offside & so let an opponent get the ball, although he sort of danced to a...

Law 11 - Offside 6/6/2016

Larry of Danville, CA USA asks...

A player in an offside position can (apparently) make a 'dummy' play o...

Law 11 - Offside 6/4/2016

John Cardoza of Madrid, New York United States asks...

A player is called offside.

Lincoln of Alberton, PEI Canada asks...

Team A has the ball near top of the opposing teams 18 yard box. A center midfielder is making a run toward goal and was onside once the ball was kicked. While running towards the goal, the ball is tipped by a teammate(striker), slowing the ball down...

Law 11 - Offside 5/30/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...
