Aaron Speca of Virginia Beach, Virginia United States asks...

So this is sort of a hypothetical question but it's come close to happening a couple of times in matches I've watched so I'm curious. This video illustrates the 'hypothetical' question.

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

I think the link on your home page to the offside explanation seems accurate...although complex. Wish there were an easier way to describe it. Parents usually ask me to explain the offside rule after a game & there's no simple way.

As far a...

Law 11 - Offside 4/28/2016

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Referee McHugh mentions 3 ways that a PIOP is no longer offside. The second one:

Correct?...

Vincent Traynor of Connellsville, PA 15425 asks...

A player was in the attacking half of the field in an offside position when the ball was played. He crossed over the center line and entered the defending half of the field and was the first to touch the ball but in his defending half of the field. S...

Phil of Tarzana, CA United States asks...

Even with the additional information, the deliberate move by the defender, who blocked the shot headed for the goal according to the first post, could be considered a deliberate save, right. All depends upon the time to react, distance to the goal,...

Law 11 - Offside 4/14/2016

Andy Hollingsworth of Thornhill , Dumfries Scotland asks...
