How Offside Works in Soccer

Everything you need to know about offside at the World Cup in two minutes.

[@vzm4663]

"Confuser of casual soccer fans" This is exactly why I'm here- I'm not really a soccer fan in anyway, but I've been playing some FIFA recently and me and my brother have no idea why we suddenly turn over the ball sometimes xD

[@BoundInChains]

When the ball is passed (leaves the foot of the passer) there must be atleast two opposition players in front of you (or atleast in perfect alignment with one of the two said opposing players).

[@rebecca_akin]

KZbin dude: Got it? Me: *violently shakes head* No KZbin dude: Good.

[@pacmanseven2544]

You also can't be called offside of you get the ball directly from a goal kick or corner kick.

[@ohmyrobloxgoalanysoccerlea1059]

Pacman Seven it may be called own half I think,

[@krishna1.097]

Corner kick one is just obvious 😂

[@vika0194]

You didn’t mention what happens if the ball is deliberately played by an opponent before the offside standing player is punishable.

[@AbsoluteNut1]

If a defender gets badly beaten, looking like a fool as the attacker heads for goal, he stops, faces the linesman, and puts his hand in the air. That is "offside".

[@kasperim889]

Can i tag morata?

[@every1665]

If the attacker is before the defender's defensive attack side, AND the ball is still behind the second defender's offside half, then the attacker is clear to score providing the ball hasn't been touched by any defender behind the attack line.

[@soumaj108]

Very nicely explained

[@MasiKarimi]

Thanks a lot for the info!

[@aryaan4501]

Best Video So Far

[@PubgMobile-tc9uv]

fantastic video

[@Killbill217]

I understand thanks

[@Ferrmes_Fratres]

thank you now i can finally take passes from molina, de paul, griezman and others without being offside

[@young4481]

thanks so much i play football and i was confused i was like what is offside but i finally get it now

[@devonieheadlam1390]

Good job

[@chadofthesouth]

first you should clear your confusion. its FOOTBALL , not soccer

[@justlivinglife8721]

Dhyan Bista no

[@javalsmith2594]

its football in some countries and some soccer in others so techinically your right and wrong

[@gregorypinel693]

And who do you think invented the word, 'soccer'? It wasn't a cowboy from Kentucky or a Canadian snowboarder. It wasn't some surfer in Australia. It was the English. Yes, the English first coined the word, way back in the 1800s. And 'soccer' remains the principal term still used in some UK regions, like West Wales.

[@roshanshah3425]

its different all around the world

[@brandsplanet4381]

Cricket is an insect for sure.

[@megatron6418]

There are more rules.. :D This is only the 101. :)

[@ifranshariff2273]

Well explained

[@watjengagitokvlog3805]

Thanks sir

[@engvdo5297]

But if player doesn't touch the ball although he is behind the last defender of the opponent team then how refery can give offside ?.....if he is behind the last defender and somebody pass him then only we can say offside.....am i right ?

[@sharyanne1475]

mexico goal was onside!

[@jamalcookie4206]

Nah

[@83dcardenas]

I see what you did there yet well explain new addiction if the last defender plays the ball and it is deflect to an offense player that was in offside now he is not offside

[@duraidh7299]

Is the 3rd goal of Messi in the world cup final offside since he was offside when Gonzalo Montiel (#4) passed the ball?

[@renex_g3915]

No, because Lautaro Martinez recieved the ball and he was onside. Then when he passed it to Messi, he already was onside

[@adebba]

thank you very useful

[@nuraminmatobber4880]

One player was in offside but he didn’t touch the ball..is it offside?

[@TheGeckoNinja]

........what?

[@Malluc]

ikr

[@1945joshuaruiz]

Basically none of your body can be ahead of the last defender before the goalie at the time of the pass

[@mdsddfgh3635]

[@KasabianFan44]

1945joshuaruiz Wrong. It’s the *second-to-last player*. Not necessarily the last defender, even if in most cases that’s basically the same thing.

[@a-m-vgangsta5787]

Thanks now i can score goals without offside

[@krishnasingh5929]

Thnxxx understood offside❤️👍

[@andrewyarosh1809]

Doesn’t mean I like it....

[@Metalpazallteway]

You missed the part where a shooter kicks the ball and another player is dangling between the goalkeeper and last defender on the rebound play is also offside.

[@vladwilliams9361]

im still don't get it

[@antoonsoetenshealth]

The Belgian judicial authorities received a file in 2003 with proof that the offside rule contains an impossible task and violates human rights.

[@user78901-s]

How does offside work if somebody has a break away?

[@renex_g3915]

Wdym

[@constantinosmallios]

Confused of Casual Soccer Fans Of course I know him. He’s me!

[@BoundInChains]

For insane through ball experts like Guti the offside rule is never an issue. Lol

[@marklouis6468]

so basically don't handle the ball beyond that point and just score

[@ayaanayaan4767]

Thanks

[@guadaloop1941]

Still didn’t mention that if you pass the ball to a player who is behind your or directly inline with you then it’s not offside.

[@roxxylala26]

Just look out for the last defender position on the offensive side of the field and stay a lil bit in front of him WHEN receiving the ball in scoring a goal?!

[@kayoovee109]

The ad before this vid was funny

[@danmergens8892]

Almost a great training video. Missing: - there is no offense when receiving a ball directly from a goal kick or corner kick - player in an offside position coming back to receive the ball in an onside position - player in an offside position receiving the ball on their own half - player in an offside position receiving the ball from a deflection - player interfering with a defender or the keeper (such as obstructing line of sight) - see the recent MLS highlight for a great example of this (caught by the VAR) Otherwise a very helpful video for the soccer fan who is befuddled by offside.

[@josebillyb.a.8128]

Your graphics are messed up you show a guy closer to ball and defender but call him offside

[@arunthathikaselva529]

how to defend easy please send a video in Tamil please

[@user-vp5ml5fj2r]

Thanks im got a game today

[@hoppes979]

Rule of thumb , you cannot be ahead of the ball.

[@7aemr]

1:07 how this offside

[@MrSreemannarayanaMAMPEdPGDYoga]

Good Video. Voice going fast ...

[@ryliehang]

Still confused helppp

[@TheTroyGuardian]

A Slice Of Gaming so basically attacking player can't be behind (closer to the opponent goal line) the last defender when the ball is passed to him as you can see on 0:45, when the white shirt team player is behind the red shirt player when the ball is passed to him. so it's offside.

[@hesmatisov208]

It's easy: you can't receive the ball or participate in game when you are closer to the enemy's goal line than the pre-last defender (usually goalkeeper is the very last one so you just take into account the position of last the DEFENDER)

[@learnfilminaminute9509]

How to kiper negative ball explent

[@danieldaniekl6222]

Im here Because i dont get why ishowspeed goals wasn't counted

[@kayden1000]

What the fuck this is harder than math

[@abcdef2069]

like i can know who blinn is... everyone looks like ants to me, the position of the ball at the moment right after the ball left from the passer and the position of the receiver.... angle between the receiver and the passer is often wide 2 dimensional, it is hard to telll by a camera sometimes when the receiver is near 1 dimensional offside line.

[@teanews6309]

Who’s here after the Argentina match against the Saudi‘s? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@iamafanofpsg]

It's football not soccer

[@asxulxetesteronsxez538]

The Brits coined Soccer before changing their minds and started calling it Football. Americans just never gave up on calling it by its proper name.

[@onlybrad8434]

and you can't be offside behind the ball

[@ModernAlleluya]

Still confused 🤔

[@kalunggoni]

Weird rule, just make the defender move forward in crucial situation.. and your enemy won't get a score 🧠🧠🧠

[@shivekaniruth5402]

It's not that hard . This actually complicates it

[@Potato-mu7nu]

How about we just get rid of the rule altogether 😊

[@padmanagarajan556]

👍

[@saeejoshi5758]

I still don't get it 😕

[@DropshippersNightmare]

Saee Joshi stick to dishes

[@xDlow_]

Dude wtf is wrong with you

[@jeonesevenv9]

Wax on, wax off

[@andrewyarosh1809]

Got it? Great. Not. This rule does not contain “chaos.” It rewards unathletic or lazy defenders and penalizes gifted athletes and artistic passers. Watching an athletically or mentally superior player “get behind the defense” in basketball or US football is interesting and exciting, and forces defenders to pay attention to every player. Not in soccer- defender just lets an offensive player go, knowing the assistant referee will be there to clean up his mistakes.

[@Maenfy]

Well it doesn't though. Defenders need to be even more aware of their surroundings as in other sports because they could be the player that voids the offside situation. If there wouldn't be any offsides all teams would do is chiping balls to their strikers, that means even less movement. You also only see those fascinating sprints because the offside rule exists, the pass and the run need to be perfect.

[@amarnavalkar6200]

You clearly don't watch a lot of football do you? Defenders have to be super aware of where the strikers are and have to time the offside trap to perfection

[@andrewyarosh1809]

@@amarnavalkar6200 I watch plenty and I loathe the “offside trap.” It’s just a manipulation of the rules, used by inferior teams and lazy athletes to strangle superior athletes, and to shield cowardly goalkeepers. Eliminate this rule and you force keepers to play instead of hiding behind an obscure and unfairly enforced rule

[@andrewyarosh1809]

@@Maenfy You mean in my game, the keepers would actually have to stop shots and defenders would have to match the strikers stride for stride? Oh how boring!

[@aramskaef6955]

What are you talking about, american boomer? You're lying there is no way you actually watch the sport regularly. You think catching forwards with an offside trap is easy? I know your comment is old but just watch Man City vs Liverpool game last week and you'll see top level defenders like Van Dijk and Matip getting exposed while trying an offside trap, they're both insanely fast too.

[@kennyljs]

They should remove this stupid rule. And let them score as much as they can.

[@aayushgurung3792]

[@ibraahimjiifyare4658]

Robben van is not offside✌

[@leogonzales4634]

Just get rid of it. Everyone will be happy. Both sides benefit and more high scoring games.

[@renex_g3915]

No. The game is perfect like this. If there's no offside, attackers will hang on to the goal and try to score. Basically the two teams will be in the opposite side and would not be any middel game. Totally boring

[@hitendrasinhjjadeja3914]

🤓

[@joew6098]

Yep, still a stupid rule. As the casuelest of casual fans, I care less about integrity than I do about watching 90 minutes of no goals.

[@nynthes]

It would be much less fun to watch them booting the ball up and down the pitch to attackers camped in penalty boxes

[@leonidassparta2124]

I can't believe you spent the first 30 seconds defending this stupid rule.

[@renex_g3915]

You're literally the only one whi finds it stupid

[@thomastang2109]
