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.

When a player is offside where is the freekick taken?

Where the offside positioned player was at the moment their team-mate last touched the ball. If that spot is within the opponent's goal area, then the ball is brought straight out along a line perpendicular to the goal line to the "top" of the goal area (a.k.a. 6 yard line).


Can you be offside from a free kick?

Yes, you can be called offside on direct free kicks and indirect free kicks. You cannot be offside on a throw-in, goal kick, corner kick, or kickoff, though.


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.


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 a goalie touch the ball outside the penalty area?

You can score a goal directly from a goal kick but only against the opponents. If you kick it into your own goal... ...and it did not leave the penalty area first, then the goal kick is rekicked. ...and it did leave the penalty area first, then play is restarted with a corner kick for the opponents. There can be no offside offense directly from a goal kick.
