You obviously have no idea how offsides in football works. Of course a player can get a ball behind the defense in Soccer. Just like in football, they have to start the play equal or in front of them.

No...putting "soccer's offside" in the NFL would mean receivers wouldnt be allowed to catch the football past the defense. They wouldnt be allowed to try and outrun a corner back because youre not allowed to accept a pass past the defense.

They're all drunk. Everything looks good after a few beers.
Višje številke kot pri NBA-ju in NHL-u
Posebej presentljivo pa je to, da je skupna gledanost nogometne tekme Anglija-ZDA na ABC-ju in Univisionu presegla televizijsko gledanost finalnih tekem v Ligah NBA in NHL. Odločilno zmago Blackhawksov je tako prek televizije spremljalo pol manj gledalcev kot remi nogometašev v Rustenburgu. A do najbolj gledanih nogometnih prenosov je še nekaj prostora: leta 1999 je kar 18 milijonov gledalcev gledalo finale SP-ja med ZDA in Kitajsko. V ženskem nogometu, se razume. Najbolj gledana moška tekma pa je še vedno domači finale SP-ja leta 1994 med Brazilijo in Italijo (14,5 milijona).
Will someone who is better than me in English please translate this?
It says that soccer game England-USA had much more TV viewers IN USA than NHL final game and NBA finals.
Edit: source
Higher number than the NBA and NHL .
Especially suprising is that the total amount of viewers of the football game between England and USA on ABC and Univision, exceeded the number of viewers for the finals of the NBA and NHL leagues. The Blackhawks win got half the viewers than the draw football game in Rustenburg.
The most viewed football games in history are that of 1999, 18 million viewers watched the WC final between the USA and China. In women's football, of course. The most viewed mens game in the US was the 1994 world cup final game between Brasil and Italy (14,5 million).
I dont understand the continual coming into the forum part that has soccer if you don't like it.
You don't like it, ok, stop coming into the goddamn threads and ruining them then.
Holy ing youre a MORON.You obviously have no idea how offsides in football works. Of course a player can get a ball behind the defense in Soccer. Just like in football, they have to start the play equal or in front of them.

There is no "play" in soccer as there is in football. If a midfielder kicks a forward the ball and the forward is closer to the goal than the last defender, he is offsides.
This would be like taking away "post patterns" in the NFL where the quarterback doesnt even throw the ball until the WR has the CB beat. If the rules were like soccer, the WR would have to wait to "beat" the CB until the QB actually threw the ball or else he would be offsides.
Do you get it now? Comprehend? Im beginning to think the only thing dumber than the offsides rule is YOU.
One more just for "MannyIsGod".
In this example, number 10 is offsides.
Now pretend theyre playing football, the blue is playing a zone defense, number 10 is a WR and number 11 is the QB. Having an "offsides" rule like they have in soccer would mean you couldnt throw the ball to number 10 because he would be offsides! How ing gay is that?
Do you get it now? I cant believe Im having to explain this to a soccer fan. I understood this rule when i was around.....8.
I know.
I know how the rule works. You're the one who posted something completely different in your first post then changed it when it was shown to you how stupid it was.One more just for "MannyIsGod".

You don't have to go to these lengths to try to cover up your stupid mistakes. We already know you're an idiot.
In soccer they have to be equal with the defender when the ball is kicked. They don't have to be equal with the defender when the ball is thrown in football. This comparison is re ed.
You switched screen names?
Anyway, Soccer and football both have a point where the offense must be behind the defense. Thats the point. Its apparently too tough to grasp.
You are right, it is. Comparing rules from completely different sports is re ed.
This comparison is like saying I don't like baseball because the catcher doesn't take the ball from the pitcher while under center.
I also don't like Golf because there are no 3-pointers.
This is the part he's not getting....You obviously have no idea how offsides in football works. Of course a player can get a ball behind the defense in Soccer. Just like in football, they have to start the play equal or in front of them.

oh and props to ElNono for the 3-second violation analogy in Basketball...
Please explain how I "changed" what I was talking about. This should be good.
And no, Im not Goran Dragic. DOK is, I believe.
And BTW, the rule is that there has to be TWO or more players between the attacking player and the goal line when the pass is made. It's normally implicit that one of them is the goalkeeper, but that's not always the case. For example, the disallowed goal on the opening game.
Here are the two quotes Manny. Explain to me how I changed it. Im saying the exact same thing.
The point is, offsides is absolutely stupid and is a big reason why soccer is so boring. It gives an artificial advantage to the defense and is one of the main reason its rare that anything actually happens in soccer.
It's pretty stupid to compare offsides in different sports, considering that soccer is non-stop and football is a start-and-go game.
Why do people make uneducated justifications for why they don't like a sport? Simply say you don't like it.
Rather than me saying I hate baseball because they're a bunch of fatasses in where only 3 out of the 50 people on both teams play at one time, I just say I don't like it.
This is not true. Any attacker in soccer is allowed to catch the football past the defense. He just needs to be behind the defense when the pass is made. Offsides are called when the pass is initiated, not received.
For those interested in the history of the game, the offside rule actually used to require 3 players instead of two between the attacker and the goal. Reducing it to two did increase the amount of goals. Obviously, you couldn't go below two players without bringing back the 'kick-through' players, who simply camped right next to the opposing team's goalie.
Agree. They need to change the rule and open up more scoring. Too many 0-0, 1-0 and 1-1 scores so far in this World Cup. Just too difficult to score goals.
The game would be more exciting with more shots on goal and gives the possibility for more comeback wins.

Fine...then pretend there was off-sides in BASKETBALL (since theres no "stopping"). Can you imagine basketball with no fastbreaks or outlet passes?
They can make it so they can't camp out inside the goal box. They also could make something like a 3 second rule like in basketball. There are ways to work around it.
There are fast breaks in soccer, they're called counter-attacks and there's also the equivalent of outlet passes, and they're called set-piece.
Soccer is a very different sport from basketball though. It's like comparing baseball with handball. They really have nothing to do with each other.
I understand that, but who cares? In football and basketball, you can accept a pass ANYWHERE, regardless of your position to the defense.
Its an incredibly stupid rule.
