Just some extra things which are important.

- Offsides can't be called from set-pieces (corner, throw-in and goal kicks).
- When you are on the halfway line (going onto the opposition's half), and you receive the ball with no opposing player playing you onside, you are onside.
- Advantages last 4-5 seconds and if any opposing player touches the ball in that countdown there will be a free-kick.

Who else knows all about football but still decided to watch

[sujayvachhani]

I recently got into football after a friend showed me Messi highlights and I was amazed and wondered how it was possible someone can do that with a football. How does the transfer system work? What are loans, swaps, and in what situation would a team use them? Why does a free transfer occur? What happens when a player wants to leave a club? Can a team decide to sell a player against his will? How much power does the player have in this process?

Could you please explain the structure of world football? What is FIFA, UEFA? What is their purpose, what is the relationship between them, and how much power do they have? Do the rules differ between leagues in different countries? Why are some leagues more popular and have more money than others? Why are there friendlies? How exactly does a club make money? Could you explain why there are so many competitions and who organizes them? Could you explain the financial structure of world football? Why is there relegation? Does it make sense from a financial standpoint? This is all very confusing for a beginner, could you make one or more videos about this?

Who ever is watching this have a great day

I'm a die hard indian cricket fan but my team's losses are messing up my mental health. So, here i am trying to start watching football as a neutral so that i can actually enjoy a sport.

Went to my first match last week, hated footy before, but being there it was fantastic, instantly fell in love with the sport. Didn't have a clue what was happening 😂, but glad I found this video.

Thanks.

I don't know why I'm watching this

[kylermellen]

I've been wanting to get into football for a couple years now but it's just really hard considering how universal the sport is and how many different leagues there are... It just feels really hard to find a starting point for me.

I play mostly rugby, but Im learning the rules and how to play football because all of my friends play it.Everytime they play football or Futsal I only get to sit on the side of the pitch just watching them, so Im trying my best even tho I think its late to start at 17 unlike most people even start at 5 years old playing football.I’ve tried playing it when I was in primary school but all of my friends at the time said I was horrible and asked me to get out of the field because of my bad playing.Its hard learning at a public field when all the egoistic players always mock me when I cant even dribble a ball perfectly which always makes me want to stop learning how to play.But thanks for making this video @Unisport, this really helped me 👍🏻

[Keeping_It_Kyle]

It’s great to basically see no saves, really makes people want to be goalkeepers. Thanks 👍🏻

[shomgerry]

Loved the basics... I was hoping I'd get to know the distance between the ball and the wall during a direct free kick 😅
