wow cool, I grew up watching and playing soccer, but didn't know the rule at around 2:28 even existed. People barely know this rule unless they play professionally. Thank you!

This is the best video for me as a clueless parent with a football crazed son

Thank you so much as a first time soccer parent with zero past knowledge I found d this extremely helpful!

Very helpful. Now I understand what offside means.

This was a clear view of rule. Thank you.

Thanks Mate... That Was Really Helpful ... Cheers.. !!

Thank you so much. Now I got it perfectly!

I didn't know anything about soccer but now I do Thanks you did a great job of explaining it to me!

Wow thank you I'm just getting into football and this was so informative.

So nicely explained! Thanks...

As a 3rd grader I camped down there by the goal. Nice to know I was breaking rules.

very helpful. thank you so much!

Thanks for this I'm starting soccer at my school and today was first day and I was so confused for what offside was I am pretty Shute I got it now

Perfect video

VALE VALE! I THINK I GOT OFFSIDES NOW! GRACIAS!

Thank you, that was very helpful😊

I think he over complicated the off side rule. Basically, imagine that the space between the last defender and the goalie is a special area. If the player from the other team is in that special area when the ball is passed to him, it's off side. If there is a player on his team already further off side than him, then he is on side. This is called being 'played onside'.

4:35 - being in front of the ball does not make you offside - it's all about where the last defender was when the ball was passed. 6:35 you are only offside if you are actively in play (about to receive the ball etc). You can be back there and if you're not involved in the play then you're not offside. Happens a lot when people are on the ground injured.

as u shown in a video if the ball is in our deffencive side and our and there is no diffencer and ball is in front of the goali so our blue player comes there and kick the ball and run forward to goalpost for goal is it a offside?

Thanks! didnt knew that

5:58 he is not offside but it is handball because he carried it

I understood so much about offside.

Thanks!

Thanx man.....

Thank you

thanks bro

How come the offside rule varies in the u6 u8 division? I'm currently whistling in a park where the rule is ommited in Davie Sports Complex, Florida.

Thanks

Is It Handball if the goalie picks it up with it on the line

I don't know the official rules, but from experience, the offside rule applies only when it is passed from one player to another who is ahead, because the way you explain it, it makes it sound like once a player carries the ball beyond the last man back, he can't turn around and carry it back to the middle of the field because it would cause him to be offside, and I've never seen that being called by a referee that way.

So basically offside if your teammate pass you the ball and you a ahead of the last defender it’s offside,but if you below the defender and you get the ball while the last defender ahead of you that not offside you are good

I love soccer

Say blue is attacking then red takes the ball and heads to blues goal, if a blue midfielder started behind the red who has possession, can that blue midfielder outrun, get ahead of, and flank red meeting him head on to steal the ball, or is that offsides

There is NO " s " in the infraction of "Off SIDE". The history of this rule is that a player is "off of his side", essentially not with his team. "Offsides", with an " s ", is incorrect. "Off side" and "Offside" is correct.

❤️♥️

carrying the ball eliminates that offside rule

So the player should always be behind the ball and score so that it won't be on offside Goal?

The 18 yard area is not a goalie box! There is however the 6 yard area commonly referred to as the goal area or box.

Could somebody help me understand what the heck the goal area is about in plain English. Thanks.

3:09 - what if the defender passes the ball with the chest?! | 3:17 - Also, what if the goalkeeper makes a "mini" goal kick to the defender so he can head the ball back to the goalkeeper in order to stall the game?! Is it awarded a indirect free-kick?

So its the pass that is considered as offside, not when you dribble past the defenders and go head to head with goalie. I was offsided during a Sunday league match and had no idea what I did wrong.

*DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?*

მაგარია😏👍💪👍👊🏼

so... if a guy on your team passes ball to you into area while there is no other defenders there except goalie, you must wait for them to catch up and stand in front of you before you shoot ???

If the player plays a backpass to the goalie then can the goalie pick it up with his hands after touching it with his feet?

But the goalie can pick up a pass from teammate if he is under pressure. Which means surrounded by 2 opponents trying to dispossess him.

The goalie can pick it up if there is a deflection from the same teammate

მაგარია ძალიან 💪💪💪

*First rule: Its called Football!*

*TRIGGERED*

Why is their a semi circule up top the box? And can the Goalie take the ball in his hands?

ur voice is same lyk The Joker! (The Dark Knight)

When goalkeeper hold the ball with his hand,and then he kick into the middle of the field,his striker was in offside line,and he get the ball,dribble to opponent side..so is that a offside or not.??

T.q so mch

hello i have some questions to you about this reason 1 if a defender pass the ball to the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper stops the ball with his leg and then picks the ball up with his hands.so will that be a foul [penalty]. 2 if a striker shots the ball to the goal post and the defender's leg touch's the ball before the goalkeeper catches it.will that be a penalty

It doesn't matter where the ball is it matters where the sweeper is

*football*

For a newbie like myself - you all are making "offside" into a national debate. But also making it understood why people argue vehemently when the ref calls a close offside. How the ref can keep up with all that in a game where you have so many players moving in all directions seems next to impossible. But I think I'm getting the jist of it making these World Cup matches exciting, even if I don't quite know what's going on. Ha!

thing that bugged me most was using the word soccer instead of Football

so many holes in this explanation on both the back pass and offside rules

Thank god he isn't teaching rocket science...... But, in all honesty, if you never played soccer and didn't understand the offside rule, I think he does a good job covering it. I think that was his audience as well - so I really shouldn't be critical of the man's teaching.

boom!!! easy...

no goalies in soccer , they are called goal keepers, not goalie box, it is called penalty area

Americans trying to explain football😂😂

please explain in hindi because the weak students were not clear

Sorry sir I could not understand what you want to tell actually

You are incorrectly labeling the penalty area as the goalie box. The goal area is the smaller box. The passback to the keeper is also wrong. A keeper cannot pick up a ball that is played back by his teammate with his foot. So he can also use his chest and knee as well. The offside line is with the second to last defender, not the last man back. The keeper may have 2 defenders closer to his goal line than him. The rule basically says you have to have two players between you and the goal line or behind the ball ooorrrr in your own half of the field. Being in an offside position is not an offense in itself. You have to be gaining an advantage from your position (ball rebounds from goalpoast, keeper, a save), interfering with a player, or interfering with play (touching the ball). A new interpretation is that if a defender plays the ball (off a pass from the offense) and makes contact, this nullifies the offside offense and the player that was in an offside position is not penalized for receiving the ball in that position. If it was a deflection from the defender then the offside player would be called for offside. I am a grade 6 State Referee.

not goalie that's hockey keeper or goalkeeper and not offsides jeez

Basically u r complicating the rule😕

you made it too complex

offsides???? isn't it offside, I'm no soccer genius but i think that is wrong

*🍑*

They should remove this rule. Then defenders would have to respect it and stop clogging up the goal.

What a mess with the offside in this video, very wrong.

Holy Cow. You unfortunately have not explained the Offside law properly. Please understand the law first!

joker?

Not bad. Just stop calling it offsides. It is offside.

bad

I think he over complicated the off side rule. Basically, imagine that the space between the last defender and the goalie is a special area. If the player from the other team is in that special area when the ball is passed to him, it's off side. If there is a player on his team already further off side than him, then he is on side.
