(13,895 posts)I'm looking up rules and different plays... Like the off sides thing has me baffled. A head of the ball? behind the ball?
Still fun to watch..

(23,975 posts)With scoring opportunities as limited as they are in this sport, a lousy ref call has disproportional influence.
I've been watching soccer for about 25 years now, and everytime I think I understand the offside rule, some ref calls it badly and confuses me yet again.
