Question

what is an offside in the game of football

Answer 1

Hi....

Good Morning.............

Offside is one of the laws of association football, codified in Law 11 of the Laws of the Game. The law states that a player is in an offside position if any of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (the last opponent is usually, but not necessarily, the goalkeeper).[1]

Being in an offside position is not an offence in itself, but a player so positioned when the ball is played by a teammate can be judged guilty of an offside offence if they become "involved in active play", "interfere with an opponent", or "gain an advantage" by being in that position.


Hope it helps you..........

heya!!!✌✌

here is ua answer:

It is one of the professional game's most fundamental principles, but the offside law continues to cause controversy on a regular basis.It seems simple enough in theory, but few football rules cause more debate and controversy than the offside law.
You are offside when you are in the opponents' half and any part of your head, body or legs is closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.

One of those two opponents is almost always the goalkeeper, so usually if either the ball or one outfield opponent is not between you and the goal line, you will be offside. You are not offside if you are level with the second-last opponent (or both opponents).

It is not an offence to simply be in an offside position, though - you can stand offside whenever you like without the whistle being blown.

hope it helps!!!❤
