A player who is behind the ball cannot be in an offside position.

A player that is in an offside position at the moment of the kick would be guilty of an offense if he runs back to collect a pass, even if the pass was backward.

A player that is completely off of the field of play across the goal line is considered to be on the goal line itself for offside calculations. So, yes, it is possible to be in an offside position.

What is a off side goal?

An offside goal is one that is scored by an offside player. If the assistant referee is out of position, he may not realize that the scorer is offside and the goal may stand. Usually, however, offside goals are disallowed and the defending team is awarded an indirect free kick.

What is an offside goal?

Officially there is no such thing as an offside goal. If an offside infraction has occurred, then play is stopped at that moment of time. Therefore, no action that follows except for the restart of play officially pertains to the outcome of the match. In popular culture, an offside goal most likely refers to a ball that crosses the touch line, between the goal posts and below the cross bar by a player who interfered in play while in the offside position. This is prohibited and the goal will not count as a point.


Is a player penalized for being offsides if they are blocking the view of the goalie?

Interfering with the vision of the goal keeper while in an offside position makes a player guilty of an offside offense.


Can player be offside standing in the opponents net when a fellow player scores?

It is possible they are not. If the player that is in the offside position does not interfere with play (read: touch the ball), interfere with an opponent (make a move that causes an opponent to react), or gain an advantage (interfere with the vision or movement of the goal keeper, collect a rebound, etc) then there would be no offside infraction.


Can you be offside from a free kick?

South Africa vs Mexico why goal was disallowed?

A player is in an offside position if they are closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second lastopponent. The SA goal keeper was the second last defender and Vela was behind him at the moment of the header by his team-mate. This is an offside offense.Players often forget that (ignoring the ball) you must have two defenders in front of you to be onside. They get accustomed to the fact that the goal keeper is always the last one. Not in this case.


How do you tell when someone is offside in soccer?

Under the IFAB Laws of the Game, offside is covered under a single law, Law 11, which constitutes a single rule. It is possible to break down this law into four constituent parts, and one way to do so is as follows:A player is in an offside position if he is nearer to the opponent's goal line than the ball, the second-last defender, and the halfway line.A player is called offside if he is in an offside position at the moment the ball was last played by a teammate, and becomes involved in play by playing the ball, interfering with an opponent, or gaining an advantage by being in that position.A player cannot be called offside directly after a throw-in, corner kick, or goal kick.The referee may play advantage if the offending team would benefit from a stoppage in play, or if the defending team would benefit from continued play.


How do you know if a soccer player is offside?

There are two parts of the offside rule (Law 11 of the Laws of the Game): the position and the infraction. Specifically, a player in an offside position is not necessarily automatically guilty of the offside infraction.A player is in an offside position if, at the time the ball was last played by a teammate, he (or she) is nearer to the opponent's goal line than the ball and the second-last opponent (including the goalkeeper), and is not in his own half of the field (all it takes is a toe touching the halfway line to be "in his own half"). A player is not "nearer to the opponent's goal line" than any defender with whom he is even or level. Also, the goal line stretches from corner flag to corner flag, not just the mouth of the goal.It is not an infraction to be in an offside position. It becomes an infraction if and only if the player becomes involved in play by playing the ball, interfering with an opponent (such as by chasing the ball or blocking the goalkeeper's view of the play), or gaining an advantage by being in that position (such as playing a rebound from the goalpost).If a player is in an offside position AND becomes involved in the play as described above, he is guilty of the offside infraction.


If you are off the pitch when the ball is played are you offside?

For an offside infraction to occur a player must be in an offside position at the moment it is touched by a team-mate. If the goal keeper is from the other team then the player is not guilty of an offside infraction.
