Best Answer

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.

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.
