Football's Offside Rule Explained | The Present & Future of Offside

Football's Offside Rule Explained!

Football's most controversial rule has been updated countless times throuought history, and will likely be changing once again in the near future. In this video, we explain in detail everything you need to know about the rule, along with any exceptions for when the offside rule is not in play.

With the advent of VAR, finer margins mean a need for finer more specific rules, and the offside rule is definitely no exception. The Club World Cup will feature the first use of Automatic Offside calls thanks to sophisticated AR technology, with hopes of it being fully implemented in time for the World Cup in Qatar in December. However, other changes to the rule are being trialled in various leagues, with Arsene Wengers updated rule book gaining some traction and popularity.
This video will help both beginners and experts better understand the rule and come to grips with all the ins and outs of the game.

1:15, "with little regard to the lineman's feelings" 😂👌

In my opinion offside should only refer to the position of your feet. That you must have 2 feet inside the line drawn across from the second to last defenders furthest foot position. This would allow the attacker to lean in or more momentum. Also as a midfielder it's easier to see the offside line with the added context of the ground instead of a 3 dimensional space in mid air.

[Logstickz]

Wenger’s suggested rule would give the attackers *WAY* too much of an advantage on defenders.

The main complaint with the offside rule is how it’s unforced. VAR helps get more instances correct, but it’s still not perfect. Human error still effects calls when it’s very close, it’s unclear when the ball is played and some leagues with VAR don’t have the adequate camera angles to make confident calls. If the robo-VAR can do it even better, fine. It’s worth a shot, though I wouldn’t like to find out about it’s faults during the World Cup.

You’re channel is growing! Love all your videos, please keep them coming

This was such a comprehensive video on the tricky offside rule! Thank you! Also your mom is adorable ☺

I coach in the US in AYSO and it's super frustrating when our team makes a spectacular 3rd man run only to be called offsides, when our kids know how to play off the audible thump of the pass before running in. Some volunteer refs don't even fully understand the rules.

[jahbbakes]

This was excellent. Intro was very funny.

Your tactic videos brought Egypt to the final 🤣

As a Chelsea fan I couldn't stop laughing at the Morata joke🤣🤣🤣

What a legend, asked if he could do a video on the offside rule 6 days ago and here it is today. Thanks mate appreciate it 👊. If 2 players are up field 1st is in an offside position the other on side, the one that is on side received the ball and moves up passed the offside player but then passes backwards to the player that was already offside but not in active play at first pass when second player received ball would he be called offside by linesman or not. Hope this makes sense. Top video as always, please keep them coming! Maybe one day you could do a video on the best method for defending corners.👍

5:55 I would say instead of the whole body being offside, there should be some type of margin of error. Like if the attacker is ahead of the defender by like 3 inches, (about the length of the digital red and blue lines they show to deem offside) then the play should continue. Just a personal opinion.

[VkToo]

Goal kicks as well?
Corners is obvious because the pass is always backwards, and throw ins as well because the ball is played with the hand (I believe this may also apply to keeper passes). The most elaborate rule in the game for sure!

[mattbrown]

An outfield defender’s arm/hand can’t play an attacker onside (the rule is not clear on that, but fine). What about the hand/arm of a goalkeeper who is ahead of the last outfield defender? The keeper can play the ball with his hand, so can his fingertip play an attacker onside?

[gluestix]

recently there was a goal by Alexis Mac Allaster disallowed when Brighton played Leicester. this was because an offside Brighton player attempted and missed an overhead kick in the build up. however, the player didnt block an opponent or cover their line of sight, and instead he was deemed as having "attempted to play the ball". is this an actual reason for a goal being disallowed, considering the player didnt even touch the ball and so technically wasnt involved in play?

[Farrisss]

I hope it never changes, its fair to be honest since they exclude the arms which is more than great.

[Pentabacklift]

Let say the Striker is in the offside position. The Midfield pass it to the Winger (winger who’s onside). The winger pass it to the Striker, who was offside but now is behind the ball. It the goal count or is the striker offside?
