As a Brazilian, it's very weird to watch a detailed explanation of football rules. Feels like teaching someone how to breathe. With one exception. I specifically remember when my father taught me the offside rule using beer bottle caps, in less than a minute. I was six y.o.

A goal keeper can certainly get a red card and have to leave the pitch. Usually if a player is broken free and running towards the goal with no defenders anymore, a goal keeper might have to make a risky action resulting in a red card. If that happens the coach has to take off another player to put on the second goal keeper. There is at least one sub goal keeper on the bench if not two for when this happens or if the goal keeper gets injured. As of today a coach can make 5 substitutions in a game (with no overtime). They usually keep 1 or 2 sub opportunities available till the last 5 to 10 minutes, so it doesn't happen often, but If a coach has used up all of his substitutions and a goal keeper gets a red card a field player will be appointed a goal keeper. He puts on the gloves and is allowed to handle the ball the same as the goal keeper. This is a very rare thing to see. Before a couple of years ago, there were only three substitutions per game allowed and the chance of that happening would be slightly higher, but still would be a rare event.

Yes. There have been matches that were ended on 90 minutes. It happens in scenarios like a very superior team completely humiliating an inferior team and them being up 5-0 for example and the dominating team just passing the ball around and there barely being any moments that the game was stopped.

“Soccer is easy” is what my friend who played American football always used to tell me. He was certain that he could step out on the field and dominate. I brought him out to a field to do some 1v1’s, told him to try anything he could to take the ball from me, even letting him foul me, and he couldn’t take it. Then I gave him the ball and told him to try to keep it away from me. He fumbled around with the ball and I knocked him to the ground. He never once said anything to me ever again.

I'm glad you got the offside rule so easily. It's a massive confusion for many.... 😎👍

[michimike]

small note, since the pandemic the substitutions per game have become 5, due to the numerous games that had to be played after the stop from March to May. the 5 substitutions can be used at 3 different times, you cannot stop the game more than 3 times to make substitutions, excluding half time
2)yes, all teams have one or more reserve goalkeepers on the bench, if the goalkeeper is sent off, however, an outfield player must be replaced to bring on the reserve goalkeeper

[elciquito]

Offside is basically this: Your teammates CAN'T pass it to you while you are behind a defender, but if they pass it to you before you get behind them then there's no offside. That is why you can see defenders normally forming a line. Without offsides football would just be chaos in my opinion.

[Bsusfilms]

You know why your channel is good? Because unlike other reaction channels, most of which don't add anything to the video and just play the original video in its entirety and basically steal views from the creator, you pause, analyze, add a funny or insightful remark, and keep going. There's a reason to come to your channel, while still keeping the integrity of the original video. It's not as easy as it seems. Love your videos bro, cheers from Serbia.

[Jaxbauer]

They just explained the very basics of the offside rule. There are many variations of this as to if a player is/isn't deemed to be offside such as interfering with play or obstructing the view of the goalkeeper, etc. Also, a forward can pass the ball to another player who is ahead of the last defender so long as it is not passed forwards to him, and you can't be offside if you're in your own half or from a throw-in!

[TauromOG]

4:41 Yes, a match can end at exactly 90mins, but as you said, it doesn't hapens very often. Also, even if they add more time, the referee can judge and decide to end it earlier or add a bit more time even if they don't announced on the electronic board.

[Coolguy]

6:56 a keeper can get a red card, they usually sub a goalkeeper in for an outfield player and move the goalkeeper into his position, so you can’t be subbed, but someone already on the field can go into your position

[hw]

Offside, many people don't get it, is the basis of most tactics in football. Offside allows the defending team to control the space. And space is crucial for most tactics.

[richt]

Yes a goalkeeper can be sent off. What usually then happens is you take another player off to be replaced by your substitute keeper. So you're still playing with one less player but you sacrifice a non keeper. If you've made all 5 substitutes already when your keeper gets a red card than an outfield player will put the keeper jersey and gloves on!

[markhinton]

Glad you grasped the offside rule so easily. When you actually start watching games you'll see how this comes into play, note that nowadays you can be found to be offside by the tiniest margins of even less than an inch especially if VAR(video ref) is being used in addition to referee on pitch. VAR only usually used in higher end games.

[davidthompson]

A couple of answers to some of your questions...

The 6 second goalkeeper rule is a thing, however it's never really enforced. Quite often a goalkeeper will hold the ball for around 20 seconds and not be penalised for it.

You also asked about if a game has every ended dead on 90 minutes and it does happen, but not very often. It happens a lot more often in "friendly" matches where the outcome is pretty unimportant. There was actually a game in the African version of the world cup that ended before 90 minutes, the referee had a nightmare! 😂

Also you asked if teams would be a replacement for a goalkeeper if they were to be sent off. Yes, almost every side will have a goalkeeper on the bench if their starting goalkeeper had to be taken of due to injury/red card. In most leagues you have 7 substitutes available to bring on, and you can only make 5 substitutes per game. So it's definitely worth having someone there ready if something were to happen to the one on the pitch. However if a team is out of substitutions an outfield player must go in goal instead.

There was a recent US U17 match where the keeper got a red card. In this instance, you take out a field player and put in a backup goalie. However, the US did not have any more subs (there is a 5 sub limit in 3 windows per match) so a defender put on the gloves and keeper uniform and played keeper the rest of the match.

[baylessnow]

I know it's a loooong time since I was in school but I was always lead to believe that a pitch had two goal lines and two SIDE lines, not touch lines.

[MetalMonkey]

Offside (The short version!): There must be 2 defending players between the attacking player and the goal, 99% of the time it's 1 player and the goalkeeper.
The offside rule gets confusing to us as well, just because they keep changing it slightly

[jayk]

Didn't expect to see so many clips from the Bournemouth vs Liverpool game! Up the Cherries!

Offside rule comes from rugby, or more precisely from the game that was an ancestor of football, rugby and american football.
There was a rule that still exists in rugby, the remnant of it exists in football as an offside and it's completely gone in american football. In the first version of football you could not pass the ball forward only backwards, you had to gain a field by running with the ball (it's still like this in rugby) later in football they've changed it to 4 men onside, where at least 4 opponents had to be closer to the goal line than the reciver of the pass, finally it settled as 2 men onside, so the offside rule as we use today.
Fun fact, in the first half of 19th century the rules were a mess, basically every club in Britain were using different rules, so often one half of the match was played by one set of rules and the other half by other set of rules. And the differences weren't minor, sometimes they played one half using hands and the other using feet xD Thankfully they've noticed it was madness so the clubs created different leagues for the game playing with hand (rugby) and feet (football).
