This rule was introduced in 1992 due to the 1990 World Cup being extremely boring. The defence would waste time kicking the ball back and forth with the keeper and if a striker came near the keeper would just pick it up.

What are the offside rules of Soccer?

If a player of a team is on the other side of the field behind all the players (or behind the defenders) but still in front of the goalie, then this person is in an offside position. This, however, is NOT offside. It is not against the law of soccer to be in an offside position. Now say that person is in an offside position and his/her teammate passed the ball to him/her and that person plays or touches the ball, that is considered offside. That is illegal in the law of soccer. Say the other teammate passed the ball to his/her teammate in an offside position but the person doesn't make a move to go for the ball, then that isn't considered offsides, and therefor is not considered illegal in the law of soccer. A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of their team, they are , in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by: > interfering with play > interfering with an opponent > gaining an advantage by being in that position In doing this the attacking player will between the last defender and the defending goalkeeper when the ball is played to them . If the attacking player is in line with a defending player (not the goalkeeper) then no offside offence has been committed

What is the purpose of the cards in a football game?

They are used to give warnings to players and to indicate what kind of warning it is. A yellow card is for a serious offence. If a player gets a second yellow card, they will be sent off. A very serious offence will warrant a red card and the player is sent off immediately. By using cards it makes it easier for the crowds to know what decision the referee has made. Referees often talk to players for various reasons, so the cards help the crowds know when it is a serious issue.
