The Fundamentals of Soccer : Soccer Rules: Part 1
Offside Rule Explained (simply)
As a soccer fan, you probably can confirm that one of the trickiest rules in soccer is the offside rule.
I don’t know anymore how many times I’ve been asked to explain it. And whenever you are trying to explain it to other people, I keep on coming back to using paper and a pencil to visualize it.
FIFA explains the offside rule like this:
It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:
he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent.
So what does this mean in plain English?
First line of the FIFA rule says: It’s not wrong to be in an offside position, as long you don’t have the ball or intent to get the ball.
Second line explains the rule itself: If you stand between the last opponent (the goalie) and the 2nd last opponent of that team, at the moment the ball is being passed to you, you’re in an offside position.
The image explains it much better.
Image example:
Player Z passes ball to player A, but because player A is closer to the goal line of the opponents’ team then the 2nd last opponent, the referee will have to blow his whistle for the offside position.
If Player Z should passed the ball to player B, then Player A would also be in an offside position, but the referee won’t blow the whistle, because he isn’t actively taking part in the play. And player B isn’t in an offside position.
How about the offside position with a throw-in?
This is simple, whenever you need to throw the ball into the play again, you can’t be offside.
But it can get complicated
If Player Z shoots the ball towards the goal and player A doesn’t interfere the path off the ball, player A isn’t offside. However, if Player A is blocking the line of sight of the opponent goalie or interferes the path off the ball, the referee has to whistle for offside.
I hope I explained the offside rule and not made it more complicated to understand.
If there are any more questions about this, just ask.

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
