No. A player's offside status is re-evaluated each time a team-mate touches the ball, a defender controls and passes the ball, or the ball is no longer in play. The player's status does not change until one of the above happens again.

During a throw in in a football game an attacking player who was past to a defender gets the ball after the ball has been thrown and touched by the defender's head Is this offside?

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.


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.


If a player is standing in the offside position but not receiving ball from the other player who is carrying the ball will be declared offside by the referee in the football?

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 offsides on your own half of the field?

No. Merely returning to an onside position is not enough. Once a player is determined to be offside two things must happen to fix it: 1. That player must get back to an onside position ...and... 2. a team-mate must touch the ball, an opponent must control the ball, or the ball must leave play.


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.

If 2 people are on a breakaway in soccer and one passes is it offsides?

If the player receiving the ball is behind, or level with, the penultimate (second from last) defender when the ball is played, there is no offside. If the player receiving the ball is behind, or level with, the ball at the moment is is played, there is also no offside infraction. But, if the player receiving the ball is ahead of both the ball and the penultimate defender, and is not on his own half of the field, then the offside infraction must be enforced.
