Why is there an offside in the rules of football?

The offside rule was formalized in the football rules of 1874. However, the offside rules at that time were very different from the offside rules now. At that time, it was stipulated that:

If the attacking player attacks the front court, and the defending player in front of him has only two players (including the goalkeeper), then the attacking player is considered offside. In the early 70s of the 19th century, football began to flourish in the West and other countries, and at that time, there was a general emphasis on offense and not much attention on defense. This can be clearly seen from the common game formations (1217, 1226) in some countries at that time, and there were as many as six or seven strikers in front.

The attacker attacked the front, like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it is unstoppable. As soon as the defender grabs the ball, it is often easy to sneak up on the ball. In this way, due to the large number of attackers and the small number of defenders, the offensive and defensive forces are extremely unbalanced, which seriously affects the development and improvement of ball skills and tactics.

In addition, due to the lack of evenly matched confrontations between the offensive and defensive sides, the game is not so fierce and exciting. For this reason, some people use their brains in tactical formations, while others try to put appropriate restrictions on the attacking side in terms of rules. It is in this context that the offside rule was created.

The offside rule in force today was established in 1925 and has played a great role in the development of football techniques and tactics. In a sense, there is no offside rule and there is no football today.

Personally, I think there is no offside rule.

The attacking player can always stand in front of the opponent's goal.

In this way, the game will not be entertaining.

1.An attacking player is in an offside position if the ball is closer to the opponent's goal line. Excepts are the following:

a.The player is in his own half.

b.At least two opposing players are closer to the opponent's goal line than that player.

2.When a player kicks or touches the ball and a player of the same team is in an offside position, the referee deems that the player has committed any of the following acts, and the player shall be judged offside:

a.is interfering with a match or interfering with an opponent;

b.Attempt to gain advantage from an offside position.

3.A player shall not be judged offside if:

a.The player was only in an offside position;

b.A player receives a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in directly.

4.If a player is awarded offside, the referee shall award an indirect free kick to the opposing player in the offside position. If the player is offside in the opponent's goal area, the free kick may be taken anywhere in the goal area at the time of offside.

International Council Resolution on Offside:

1.Offside is judged by the moment a player on the same team passes the ball to him, not when he receives it. If a player is in a non-offside position, it is not offside if a player of the same team passes the ball to him or takes a free kick and the player runs in front of him while the ball is flying.

2.If the attacking player is parallel to the second to last defender of the opponent or the last two defenders of the opponent (including two), then the attacking player is not offside.

Indirect free kick is awarded for offside. An offside offence is awarded to an indirect free kick to the opposing team, where the offence occurred. If the defending team has already benefited from it or has received the ball, many referees use their discretion to allow the game to continue so that the tempo of the game is not slowed down by too many free kicks, while also achieving the same benefit for the defending team.

1.If a player of the same team passes the ball back or in parallel (i.e. the ball is parallel to the receiver and equal to the opponent's goal line), the receiver is not offside because he is not in front of the ball, but only parallel to the ball.

2.If it is not a sport for the defending player to deliberately withdraw from the field and cause the attacking player to be offside, the referee shall not only not award the attacking player as offside, but shall give the defending player a warning when the ball is dead.

3.A foul is committed offside when the ball bounces back or changes direction after a conscious touch of the opposing player (other than a save by either opposing player) from an offside position. This rule means that a player is in an offside position, but the ball is saved not by a player from the same team but by the opposing team.

You can't benefit from the opponent touching the ball and should be awarded an offside foul.

4.If a player of the attacking team remains motionless in the goal between the goal posts while the ball is in goal, the goal must be considered valid.

1. The offside rule of football is that at the moment when the attacking player makes the ball, in the opponent's half, the receiver is closer to the goal than the second-to-last defender in the morning position of the goalkeeper, and at the same time closer to the goal than the ball, and tries to use this position to interfere with the opposing player's contention for the ball, interfere with the game, and the crossbar of the goal post and the opponent's body will be judged offside. It is also important to note that corners and throw-ins, goal kicks are not offside.

2. Offside is the "Rules of Football Game" founded by Lu Liang in 1874. It imposes strict restrictions on where the receiver is allowed to stand when the ball is passed forward in the offensive direction.
