If you've ever played soccer you understand why this rule is necessaryremoving the offsides rule wouldnt affect this tho... thus far nobody's made a compelling case for this rule

it would eliminate the need for the "perfect sync" part if you could receive a pass from anywhere on the pitchremoving the offsides rule wouldnt affect this tho... thus far nobody's made a compelling case for this rule
makes end of games more entertaining and compelling
The very fact that you can be disqualified from a Basketball game. The Referees are too damn inconsistent and fans should not be subject to players not playing because of the Refs.
Why does college Bball still have zone defense.
Why does college basketball not have a defensive 3 seconds

the fact that this guy has even considered eliminating it should speak for itself. what you posted is a logical fallacy, and i wont stand for it
if 2 players are in sync and there is a cross field pass that lands perfectly. but a player on the same team 15-20 yards away has his toes ahead of a defender, the refs will kill the play and eliminate the scoring opportunity. it's a silly rule, nobody's going to compromise their defense to try to get some outlet pass to cherry pick.
^lol. if the dude on the bottom of the screen happens to be faster, he will inevitably get ahead of his defender. if this player managed to get a pass and score on this play, there would be no goal scored. why?
because his forearm is ahead of an imaginary line

Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is touched or played by a teammate is only committing an offside offence if, in the opinion of the referee, he becomes actively involved in play by:
Interfering with play
playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a team-mate
Interfering with an opponent
preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or movements or making a gesture or movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an opponent.
Gaining an advantage by being in an offside position
playing a ball that rebounds to him off a goalpost or the crossbar having been in an offside position or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in an offside position.[3]
Since offside is judged at the time the ball is touched or played by a teammate, not when the player receives the ball, it is possible for a player to receive the ball significantly past the second-to-last defender, or even the last defender (typically the goalkeeper).
3) it's not an imaginary line
it's the last defender. playing a trap is a huge part of defending for a lot of teams, they are where they are supposed to be, not just wandering around following the man they're marking. their position is strategic. and the faster guy has to time his run perfectly, which is really 90% of attacking football: well-timed (and precise) runs

for the record i agree that in a perfect world the rule would be changed slightly to include feet only, but linesmen can't see that as easily from across the field

3) it's not an imaginary line
the president of fifa isn't a good argument, the head of the intl governing body of the sport who could potentially eliminate this rule
and if it's not imaginary then it is entirely subjective
and unlike most sports theres no way to review the referees call.and i'm not referring to any of the other offenses that fall under the offsides umbrella. i have NO problem with calling fouls on any of the things u listed. they could exist without what i'm specifically pointing to, which is:
^dumb shyt like this. why does it matter if one of the blue players has 3 fingers over this blue line, how is that "cheating" or unfair? holding players, touching the ball, tripping.. all that can stay. this shyt tho..

yes the president of fifa, if you think what he has to say is sage in any way, you're not paying attention to the sport. he's a corrupt politician, not a steward of world football.the president of fifa isn't a good argument, the head of the intl governing body of the sport who could potentially eliminate this rule

that last one is questionable, BUT that guy is receiving the pass, you said if a guy 15-20 yards away from the play is ahead of the line, the play is whistled dead, which isn't true.
anyway that pic you've just posted is no worse than phantom PI calls or safe/out calls that go the wrong way. bad calls are made in sports, shyt happens.
theres 34839483948 scoring opportunities in football tho, in soccer the plays have to be so well put together and sometimes they are and they're canceled out by offsides calls.
and honestly it is fukkin impressive that these motherfukkers have the presence of mind to stay behind this 'line' or whatever and still score. agree to disagree i suppose
cant wait for the world cup

i'm not against a booth review confirmation type thing of offsides calls that result in goals, if they could do it quickly like with the hawkeye goal line shyt they use
this baseball nikka manny machado got made cause a somebody tried to tag him out 
two goals called off because of this stupid ass offside rule in this cameroon vs mex game
nobody was cherry picking. the mex goal, dude had one of his knuckles ahead of the defender
and the cameroon goal that was called off was some bullshyt too
should be 1-1 right now
