Marginal offsides before goals is one the scenarios that VAR was brought in to assist with should the referee be unable to initially give the decision on their own. Unlike decisions about potential fouls, yellow and red cards, the offside rule is not open to interpretation and, with the introduction of VAR, the decision can now be made in a completely objective manner.

The offside rule The offside rule was introduced in to prevent players from hanging around the goal of the opponent.

Note that the ball can be played anywhere so long as the player receiving the ball starts in an onside position - it's perfectly reasonable for the ball carrier to chip the ball onto the penalty spot for the central attacker to receive on the run, so long as neither of the two offside players interferes with play.
Once the ball is touched by the onside player, assuming that he is the most advanced player on the pitch, everyone becomes onside so, if the defence was static, blue would be two-on-one with the goalkeeper. Clear as mud? There are a couple of other points to note about the rules. The first item is to ensure that silly mistakes by defenders are not covered by the offside law. Deflections do not count as changes of possession for our purposes - the ball must be deliberately kicked.
The second item exists to stop the offside rule being used as a means of prolonging an attack: If the rule applied in the opposing half as well, it would be possible to pen up the entire team inside their penalty area, which is clearly outside the intent of the law. The third means that an offensive player can always play the ball laterally or backwards, even to a player who'd otherwise be offside this would occur in the two-on-one possibility from Figure 1 , and also means that it's physically impossible to be offside on a corner kick.
The fourth means it's impossible to be offside on throw ins, which raises some interesting possibilities. I don't really get the point of the goal kick rule, but whatever. With the law itself out of the way, it's instructive to see how it's evolved, and how different forms of offside have changed the sport.
As many of you know, 'football' was adapted in mid s England from a sport that is best described as a minor war between neighbouring villages. Private schools considered it desirable to insert sport into their curriculum in order to ensure that their students grew up stout of heart and strong of limb and preferably small of brain - the very ideals of Victorian Englishness.
A number of these schools started with the village game and adapted them to suit their needs, and no two school played exactly the same 'football'. The offside problem was a major issue, because without it or a similar rule the most efficient way of playing was Rugby's football handled the situation by outlawing any forward pass.
Sheffield's ignored it entirely for a while. A number of other schools had some form of soccer's offside rule in place. It's interesting that the split between rugby and soccer had begun before the outlawing of handling the ball in association football, although there was already cultural differences in terms of whether the game was played primarily with the hands or with the feet.

The offside rule in football How is offside determined in soccer? Being a football player since very young I'm from Argentina : I just could explain my point of view. When you have a casual game without offside, ball movement in the field is very weird: there is not much strategy filling spaces in the middle, and it is very common to just put the ball as far as you can in the opponent field.
This makes the game more appealing, meaning matches have a lot of goals like in 5 vs 5 games in a reduced field , but also make it more boring, as defenders being so close to their goalkeeperm make it harder to score. So the game loses a lot of balance in a big field. There where some attemps to change the rule. I can remember a younger continental championship when the rule was enforced but only inside the goal area.
That was the only test, but I remember defenders standing on that line, and not attacking because there were a lot of field to cover. IMHO this rule enforces the game to be played in a smaller part of the pitch, and allow defenders to try to attack without leaving an empty space for an attacker. At first, it looked a lot like rugby, because the law enforced all players not to be ahead of the ball.
Then it changed into a 3 players rule you need 3 players in front of you to not be offside. Some time later but we are talking about a game that is over years old , the rule was enforced using 2 players. Then the line was moved form behind the second player into the same line. The last thing I heard was that a board will propose a change to the rule, but as far as I know, there are not any words about it. Offside contributes significantly to the dynamism of the game.
The rule of offside was part of soccer rules even before they were written. Even at the begginning of the game it turned out that strikers that infest near the goal and forcing the defenders to stay near them are sterilizers the game out of movement and diversity. Moreover, in my opinion, the offside rule adds sophistication and creativity to the game.
Goalkeepers and defenders need to work on their coordination by reducing spacing and "trap" attackers on offside traps. In addition, attackers need to work on coordination and agility, and midfielders on their timing and creativity. I can't imagine a game of soccer without offside that contributes a lot to game dynamics and creativity. The offside rule in football How is offside determined in Soccer? These are bold statement to make, especially without any references.
I could easily reply with "who? It is also argued that since its abolition from Hockey, that game has become more entertaining.
This too is a very bold statement; not only it's a bold statement but also a very subjective one. I am not a big fan of hockey and thus I do not utter a word about whether or not the game is better without the offside rule, but even if it did make the game more entertaining there are two logical pitfalls to your statement:.
Goals scored after an offsides call do not count. The rule of offsides is used in soccer to prevent offensive players from hovering and lingering in the area near their goal.
Having a player in this position puts the player in an advantage to score easily, as his teammate can clear the ball down the field without any other defenders being near the goal but the goalie.
The concept of offsides is often referred to as "cherry picking" in other sports. The linesman is the official who determines an offside ruling.
You can see them running up and down the field on the sidelines with a flag determining if a play needs to be stopped for offsides. The linesman will signal an offsides by blowing a whistle and standing at the offside position along the touchline with their flag held out horizontal.
