Offside in Soccer (Football) Rule in Under 2 Minutes

Video Overview & Insights

Rule 11 is one of football's shortest rule, but also one if its most misunderstood.

“

I still am confused

— @PeshalKhatri-w9v2c

In the early days of the sport, it became common for players players to "goal hang" - where players would just hang around their opponents goal and wait for a long ball to pick up an easy 1v1 against the keeper. This wasn't very entertaining, nor athletic, so the rule was first introduced in 1863.

What the heck is Soccer???

Why have “defenders”? The hockey blue line is SO much more logical.

@mikesimonson7860

why dont these videos give (real) examples of what an offside is and what isnt..

@numberoneolive2464

So, the Greeks were offsides in the war against Troy when they sent that fake horse inside the gate?

@FrankCostanza-c9u

Qatar got robbed

@Arsalaaann

This didn't help at all. Just make it like hockey and be done with it.

@AlexChristian

All that to say soccer

@Beardslayer

I watched this years ago, thought I understood, turns out I didnt understand, now im here again and I thought I understood but still don't fully understand. Omg lol. The confusion is from 1:42. So many Offsides are called on those 3 in reality...

@littlekame777

Lol I'm a bball head but I'm.tryna enjoy a bit of FC26 on ps5 and I cannot for the life of stop getting called for "offside" .. can I just turn the damn rule off? It's doing my head in. Lol

@JayAnthony87

Dumbest fucking rule in any sport, in the history of all sports. Ever. Imagine how terrible basketball would be with offsides. Play better defense.

@Learnstuff4me

Wow I was getting called for it constantly in FC26 and now I’m finna be an animal unleashed!!!😂

@CalobAdamsInfamous913

still don't understand, so instead of defending the ball why doesnt the defending team all just run forward and so that the attackers will always be offside,

@magnusponton7216

Its a stupid rule

@Ara-Em

Why is this a thing tho

@juicearth999

I kept getting this foul in Backyard Soccer and didn’t know how, thank you!

@ifchiken

Bhyi when the match is ongoing then this offside rule is of no use It'll be difficult to Focus that the player had actually in the offside area

@khanakkk60

finally tysm

@Phantom11team

wtf is soccer?

@forestemjoyer5

I’m here to learn offsides better after having taken a break from being an AR for a year, then look in the comments to see clarifications. I did not expect to find half of it about Speed getting offsides and the Argentina-Saudi match (both three years ago)

@ConquerorCat

Thanks for sharing this, learned a lot.

@HariRieser

IT'S FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER!!!

@ChatGPT-z4u

Great explanation! Thank you!

@GazN-u9u

Then when Ronaldo passed to jao felix and there were no defenders near only gk wasn't that offside because they created a new gameplay

@Valipexer

If the midfielder passes to an attacker who is offside but the defender deflects the ball to the opponents, is it offside?

@trackingcalin1988

I suppose I understand, but why is it not allowed?

@michelled5102

Ted Lasso brought me here

@blueturtlekhun

Offsides if you play fifa you knows it’s too easy to score goals if offsides are off

@captainfalconmain6576

The main reason why football fans dislike the offside rule because it’s making it a hard challenging for the players from scoring more goals and more goals being disallowed which can be very frustrating and annoying to giving the players a hard time and less freedom and limited scoring goals

@louistudor1086

Even more confused

@Kamenridr4z1

thanks

@kuuttiperkio2262

What if the 2nd last opponent deliberately choose to stay behind?

@AshaesShahid

Bro I saw a short someone sent this exact video to mbappe after his 8 offsides in one game against Barcelona😂😂😂😂

@Kabirkhan-j5x8y

Can anyone explain why neymar in number 6 isnt offside

@S8randoebiedoebie

thank you more easy to understand.

@tamil.insight

Great explanation! Other videos kept saying “second to last defender” which to me was unclear being a soccer novice.

@crueman78

So why can’t the defenders just stay at the halfway line, making all goal attempts off-side

@bragstew2762

I really don’t like the offside rule because it prevents players from scoring too many goals and it’s unfair

@louistudor1086

Was playing fifa with my friend and kept getting offside. Didn’t know what it was and my friend wouldn’t explain it to me. He just kept laughing lol that fucjer

@Jae-x6j

How about controversial shut of vietnam vs Philippines final match SEAGAMES 2025?

@EricPuti-an

Why do they even have this rule?It's already difficult to score

@i3_13

That was super mega excellent . I live in Germany but my Deutsche is non existent existent so when I asked a German friend to explain it to me he didn’t have the vocabulary to get it into my dull head .
Thanks !

@siriosstar4789

ITS FOOTBALL

@pacholek19

Ohh i get it now thank you so much! Now i realized how i got offsides when i was on the field bc i didn’t understand how it work

@VrundaPatel-t2b

My definition: the area in which an attacker finds himself at the moment he receives the ball from a teammate in which he is second (or first) closest to the line formed by the goal line, including the opponent's goalkeeper, is an illegal area called offside

@bandido2405

Hey Yankee, its football. What you call football is actually socker, cause all you do is sock each other. I'm still a Pats fan, love your football game though.

@terminatah500

We had a goal cLled back on an offside for a corner kick. Didnt think that could happen

@hudge-v9t

Ty bro

@1koh694

Had to understand this for Ao Ashito lol

@choji9739

Offside is cheating
