The ball cannot be offside. Players can be in an offside position.
Offside was not introduced as a separate rule. English football has always had offside. The earliest sets of rules which were drawn up in the nineteenth century all included an offside rule.
The defense, by definition, cannot be called offside. This is because the offside position is measured from the moment a teammate last plays the ball. If the ball is in clear possession of the other team, you cannot be called offside.
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.
To be offside, you do not have to touch it. If you interfere with an opponent (e.g. possibly lunge at him) or gain an advantage by being there (e.g. recover a deflection off the keeper or goalpost) are also enough.
You are not guilty of an offside infraction if you receive the ball directly from a throw-in by a team-mate, the defender deflection would still count as "the throw-in" unless they controlled the ball first. Even if they did control the ball, you are not guilty of an offside infraction if an opposing player passed it.
He checks whoes throw in it is, if a player is offside, if it is a free kick and if it's a penalty.
Yes, there is an offside penalty in American Football. The neutral zone is defined as the area extending from the tip of the football to each side of the field, so the neutral zone is as wide as the length of the football. No player, except the center, may have any part of his body in the neutral zone at the time the ball is snapped, otherwise they are guilty of being offside. On a kickoff, no player may have any part of his body across the line upon which the ball rests prior to the kick, except for the holder if one is used. The penalty for offside is 5 yards.
if your behind the last defended in the other team and the ball is played to you then your in offside.
In MLS they use the offside markers to see if a player is offside
No. A player cannot be offside directly from a goal kick.
There is no "offspring" in football. What you mean is probably the offside rule. The offside rule is one of the most debated and asked about rules. However it is quite simple. If the player is in front of the ball when it is passed and has not got at the least two defending players closer to the defending goal line than they are, she or he is said to be in an offside position.
No. Goal kicks are specifically mentioned as exempt. So are corner kicks.
