FOOTNOTES: - A lot of people complain about the offside rule being terrible, but I think it's perfectly fine because it does what it's supposed to do. I think the misinterpretation of the rule makes it bad, especially from referees and linesmen who clearly should know better! - I’m aware that it isn’t really a ‘rule change’ rather than an amendment/clarification from FIFA as to when an opponent makes a play for the ball. - In English parlance, the second-to-last opponent is sometimes referred to as the ‘last defender’ (as the goalkeeper isn’t classed as a defender). This difference in terminology signifies exactly the same thing and is not incorrect. - I’m THIS close to 100k subscribers, so please like, share and subscribe! 😊
5:27 I like how the attacker just pushes the defender towards the goal to kill the offside trap. I also like how you say "when done badly...." and then use Arsenal as an example
So many people are unaware that it's the second-to-last including the keeper, not the last field player. Obviously 95% of the time it doesn't matter, but I've seen even players protest in cases when the goalkeeper has come forward (say to attempt a punch) and the ball gets past them, the other team makes a pass to an offside player with one defender standing on the goaline, and then they and their fans are furious when they get whistled.
This was possibly correct at the time, but the bit around the 04:20 mark is not correct/no longer correct. In this scenario it is still offside. This falls under the 'deliberate play' section of the offside law. As the defender doesnt have control of the ball, this is not deemed as deliberate play. In such circumstancea their touch is seen as irrelevant, and the position of the attacker is taken. So this would be offside. This is why Griezmanns goal for France was ruled out against Tunisia at this years WC, and Harry Kanes late 'winner' v Sporting Lisbon in Champions League. This rule is to stop this kind if scenario, where the player is offside and the ball just skims off a defender. It's still offside.
Since you are running out of sports to explain the rules (i believe only a few are left, like cricket for instance) i believe you could explain competitions too. the UEFA champions league before getting to the group stage is confusing, the premier league could be a short video, where you could explain the tie-breaking in a point system, the NRL, the Superleague, the NFL system and many more competitions. Keep up the good Work and congrats on 100k subs, i've been watching your videos all the way since 2016. My Dream is to have a Rugby league commentary channel, and you are my biggest inspiration. Much love, from Brazil!!!
2:22 is a rather controversial call, since that disallowed goal kept Atlanta United's 1 point lead in tact in the semi finals (thanks VAR). Not that I'm complaining since we would go on to win the championship, go ATL!!
Good video. I think the best and easiest way to demonstrate offside is just showing an extreme example. Like a player being extremely offside so that it's 100% obvious.
Thank you Ninh Ly for the explanation. An example: the player A is in an offside positon. His teammate kicks the ball a) and the ball hits the goalkeeper (last opponent) and the ball returns to the player A and he kicks the ball into the goal; b) the ball hits one of the goalposts and it returns to the player A and he kicks it into the goal. In both cases, is he in offside or onside position?
@@jon-michaelharris5840 Gridiron Football is a great example of this as well. Offside is when a player is lined up on the wrong side (opponent's side) of the line of scrimmage (where plays are started).
I know the Offside rule but when I have to explain it to people who are new to Football it takes a lot of time , and usually I say them that they are new and they won't understand the rule but now I can show this video to them and hopefully they will understand .
This was a really good explainer video, including a fantastic example at 2:40 of a player in an offside position who does not impact the play. I completely disagree with the assertion, however, that the two offside players at 2:44 are not impacting the play. They're standing directly next to the goalkeeper and prohibiting him from diving to make a play on the shot to that side of the goal. You could maybe argue that since the keeper did not dive and clash into them that the infraction doesn't apply, but the shooter gains a huge advantage by having two teammates standing there, essentially setting a wall between the keeper and the far side of the goal. Offside.
Hey, just binged on many of your videos, I think the best thing for your channel right now would be to explain the effect of corona virus on various sports, and the subsequent rule/ tournament changes. People are not aware of how sports’ seasons are to continue.
Thank you! I think the part I didn't quite understand til now was WHEN the player was deemed to be in an offside position, that being when the ball is played, not received. I think I have two other questions though. What if the offside player goes back onside before touching the ball? And each time someone on your own team touches the ball, it resets as well, I'd assume?
Yes, that's a common confusion. Glad this video helps. To answer your questions. 1) When the ball is next played, if he goes back into an onside position, he is onside. 2) It resets, yes.
2:10 clip kinda threw me off a bit but i understand it alot more now, I see that the rule is to kinda make it more sportsmanlike/fair and to keep the score down.

Hi, I think you mixed between save and play the ball. In your example, I think it was an old example because the player tried to save the ball and not playing it. I think based on the new law the player is in an offside position. Great explanation. thanks
@@NinhLyUK HI, when they did the change in 2018. the law makes it very clear the difference between what is saved and what is played by the defending team. The following is from 20-21 book, page 100 " A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent." Unfortunately, there are no good examples or videos from the association about it. Once I canceled a goal which is bounced from the defender as I consider it as saving not playing. The senior referee agrees with me about it. I am just looking for videos that distinguish between them, otherwise what is the point of using two different vocabs to explain a situation. thanks for reading Happy new year
Offside is the only thing that keeps me from enjoying soccer. Soccer is the only sport that breakaways are penalized. Hockey does a much better job of preventing cherry picking, and still allows breakaways. I really want to enjoy soccer, but this rule makes it very hard for me.
I don't think the offside rule is bad, I think the misinterpretation of the rule by referees, linesman & players makes it bad and therefore leads to mass confusion for spectators. But if you apply the rule in steps like this video shows, it's easy to determine offside. Obviously, it's not completely objective as it is in Ice Hockey by using the blue line, but it's easy enough once you know what to look for.
I used to play street soccer back in the days. Without offside rules, strikers would always stand near the keeper and just wait for the ball to be pumped to him.
NinhLy you are an amazing 😍😍😍😍... I am a USSF referee for Indiana here across the pond. I will ask if during our classes that we can use this video to explain offsides for new referees... You explained it so well and to the T.... I want to Thankyou again for doing all of these videos but this one is your best work ever.... I hope you can do more videos about rules in sports.... “if you have not you should do one about unwritten rules in baseball...”
Thanks Andy. I appreciate your generous compliments! So long as you provide the link so it plays on UA-cam, then yeah feel free to use it to explain the offside rule. It always surprises me that there's so much misinterpretation of an otherwise simple rule. Once you break it down to its component parts, it's much easier to digest. As for the baseball unwritten rules, I'll consider it!
That is the most arbitrary offside rule I've ever heard. If the goal is to keep attacking players from hanging around the opposing teams goal, then just have a physical offside line, like the blue line with Hockey. Way over complicated. This is more complicated than Gridiron offside.
I agree that sometimes is too arbitary. Many goals were disallowed because judge called offside but it wasnt and many goals were allowed even though the offside was huge. We got Video review today so it got better but there are a few instances where the offside was like by a finger so it gives kinda dumb feeling of "its true that it was offside but it was so small it could not have even mattered"
Your next video should be explaining penalties or fouls from basketball, american football or hockey. What classifies a foul, and how much a penalty is in each scenario
I have to admit, back when I played junior high school basketball, I could never figure out whether one or two free throws were being awarded for a foul and why. It drove me nuts, and is one of the (many) reasons I never liked basketball. But I‘d love to learn.
If the ball is deflected/rebounded off of the goalie’s hands and then drilled into the net by an attacking player who was in an offside position when the ball was originally shot by his teammate, is it an offside offense?
Oh, now I get it why players move to the side as players go to make their goals. Understood and thanks for the video. It'll cleared my doubt and now I can help my child play better in NYXS matches.
Scott Jacoby NO HE DIES NOT DO OTHER SPORTS HE ONLY DOES SOCCER GTFO NO ONE CARES ABOUT THOSE SPORTS IN EUROPE WE ONLY CARE ABOUT SOCCER AND BASKETBALL FUCK OFF
I know the rule from Fifa because most people suck at explaining this rule and usually do it in a really confusing way which is why I was so suprised when I got it because the concept is super simple
Since this video was published, the rule changed again, now a rebound in a defender, even if they deliberately tried to play the ball, does not reset the offside positions.
Another example of the defender making a deliberate play on the ball happened in the 2019 FIFA World Cup in a match between the US and Sweden. In the 50 minute mark Tobin Heath was in offside position however a Swede defender made a deliberate play on the ball which nullified the offsides rule and allowed the US to score their second goal and somehow it got credited as an own goal
I can't believe i'm saying this, but the offside rule in Hockey actually makes more sense. I didn't think it was possible for me to dislike soccer even more.
It does what it's supposed to do. You couldn't apply an ice hockey style offside rule in soccer (i.e. static lines) because of the dynamics of the game
@@NinhLyUK I don't understand why you couldn't? Seems like a fairly simply rule that doesn't change play that much except close to the goal. And even then, not by that much nor that often.
Sir a player in offside position but another player shot the ball to the goal post from onside position then Ball return from the post then the offside player can score the ball ? Is it offside or onside
I was a centre back and this rule is great for the game 'cause the whole field is large. Imagine strikers just waiting on the goal lol that's just street basketball sht right there. Defenders and Strikers would always just play longball and midfielders would just be sitting in the middle. Plus offside traps are great but very risky I usually call it when the other team's strikers don't know how to predict. If you're a striker you should always have a great chemistry with your team and always give them the best passing opportunities for you. Make good use of follow throughs and remember that offside is based on when the ball is struck not when it is received. Practice timing and stay close to the last defender. Just a nice follow through or cross to you will be an easy goal
You say allowing players to hang around the opposing goalkeeper would make for a boring game. Have you ever watched a professional lacrosse game, which has no offside rule at all? A typical score is 13-11 - nothing at all boring about that.
I have doubt on, a player stands in offside position and his teammate pass the ball but the touches on opponent player body ( no intention) then the offside position player get the ball, is it offside or not?
The rule only says the attacker must be closer to goal line than the ball and the 2nd last player, there are situations where the attacker might be behind this imaginary line but not technically closer to the goal line than the 2nd last player. For e.g attacker is behind the imaginary line but on far right or far left of the field, 2nd last player is around the penalty spot, technically the 2nd player is closer to the goal line, does this count as offside?
The goal line is the line that runs from one corner to the other. Not just in between the goalposts. I think that's where the confusion comes from. If the second-to-last opponent is by the penalty spot and the attacker is on the far right or far left side of the field, by the corner flag, then the attacker is closer to the goal line than the second-to-last opponent.
Does anybody else think that offsides shouldn't apply if the passing player was already within his opponent's 18 when he made the pass? If you've moved the ball that far already, it's completely trivial whether a player is a bit too close to the goal line. Besides, it's not like the offense could "camp" there if their team still needs to move the ball into the box in the first place.
Nah, I believe the rule is fine as it is. It's the interpretation that causes mass confusion, which leads to some very questionable decisions. That's the problem.
@@NinhLyUK Can the call be challenged by anyone else? like another referee? In American Football, anyone can challenge a call, even another ref, and in tennis, a player has a limted amount of times where he can "challenge" an umpire's call (example if it was out of bounds or not) Both sports even use replays
Just wondering. On fifa when I pass it out on a corner kick, sometimes there is a player on the post and my player is between him and the goalie when the ball is played and is still called offside. Is that the rule, or is that just EA being EA?
If the keeper is ahead of your player, he’s probably the 2nd to last defender, and your player would be behind the offside line that the keeper is creating
David Seaman yes that’s offside, to be onside you need to be in front of or in-line with the 2nd last opponent, in that scenario the 2nd last opponent is the goalkeeper and your player is ahead of the goalkeeper meaning their in a offside position, the misconception comes from the fact people never count the goalkeeper, it’s two opponents any two opponents then your onside.
Is there video review for offsides in Euro leagues? I could see that being a bigger pain in the ass than NHL offside reviews. Its gets ridiculous with "is his skate touching the blue line" when it's less than a millimeter.
There is! It's called VAR and it's caused the exact problem you described. Where perfectly reasonable onside calls are being called back for offside because of millimeter decisions. It's been painful to say the least.
Good video.Just correct the error you made at the "Remember it's only an offside if you are ahead of the line from your own teammate" Instead of "....if you are ahead of the line from the second last opponent"
American here, just getting into football. I've seen some moments where a player kicks the ball into the goal despite being aware that they're offside and the goal won't count. Why do they do this?
@@Veigueta I meant, when the goal keeper throws the ball to you (NOT KICKED), all the way to the other half of the field and you are the only one there...thanks.
Loose the dreadful backround music and you'll have one of the best offside videos here. I like the use of flowcharts to demonstrate the decisions used to call offside or not.
What if you're offside when your teammate passes the ball to another teammate. But, you go back onside and after becoming back onside, you receive a pass from the last teammate that had the ball? Would you be offside still because the ball hasn't been passed to another teammate after you were caught offside?
You'd be onside. Offside only applies if you are in the offside position AND be involved with the play. Since that pass happened and you weren't involved in it, they wouldn't call it. By the time the ball reaches you, you are already onside once your teammate makes the pass.
I would not want to have to try to referee this rule, seems like it would be easy to misjudge because the line is constantly in motion. At least in hockey the line is static.
NOW I CAN USE THIS VIDEO TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WTF AN OFFSIDE IS Btw I used to think the offside line is drawn from the last defender (not counting the keeper)
Yes, thanks. Although in English parlance, we say 'last defender' as we don't count the keeper as a defender. Technically you're still correct, but the official designation by FIFA is 'second to last opponent'.
Well done, now sent this over to the premier league officials and then on to the VAR officials. They haven't a clue this year what they're doing. Remember, they ruled a goal offsides saying the corner kick taker was offsides. You can't make this up.

2:27 if the player was not in offside when his teammate took the shot but was ahead of all the defenders when the ball rebounded, will it be offside plz explain?
If a player in offside but the ball rebounding(hit with goalkeeper)with by the goal keeper and then the player gain the ball the score the goal...is this offside?
Ninh Ly well sir you can upload Poker rules, UA-cam won’t have any problems with that, there are lot of poker Titorials out there, but I am sure yours will be The simplest & easiest to understand 😊😁👍
Actually you can be offside on your own half IF 1. All the opponents are in your half 2. When the pass is made you were in the opponents half 3. U touch the ball on your side of the field That would be offside on your own half
But technically the play started in the opponents half, so that would activate the offside rule. But you CANNOT be offside if the ball is played within your own half. That's what this video refers to.
Ninh Ly yes u can if the ball is played within ur own half and the receiving player comes from offside position from opponents half in ur own half and touches/try to play the ball he is technically offside in his own half and the play wilm continue with indirect free kick from the spot where he touches the ball or tried to play it and it will be in his own half

Wasn't there a 'libero/sweeper' position in football/soccer back in the days, whether the player is responsible for trying to set the offside trap?
@@3dsaulgoodman43 I didn't think there was a specific position that organised the offside trap, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was true.
@TK Billington Thanks bro - it's slow progress but I'm getting there.
What if you are offside but one of the opposing players surpasses you before you touch the ball?
Tysm this helped me in FIFA so much!

Shouldn't that have been a foul though? He was deliberately pushing him to gain an advantage
how appropriate that when talking about defensive calamities the example shown is the arsenal defense
It was the first example I found when I typed in 'offside trap gone wrong'.
can't say that right now - our defence was more than solid against man city!

As a Canadian, I do feel Offside make more sense in Hockey and is more simple. But thanks for this explanation anyways.
For sure, it's easier because the blue line doesn't move.
But yeah, thanks!
And deflection such at 4:13 don't reset the offside even if an opponent passing the puck back does.
The old NASL had a similar line in theb70s when that soccer league was around

Thanks.
I have to admit, back when I played junior high school basketball, I could never figure out whether one or two free throws were being awarded for a foul and why. It drove me nuts, and is one of the (many) reasons I never liked basketball. But I‘d love to learn.
THANKS YOU THIS HELPED A LOT A LOT
If the ball is deflected/rebounded off of the goalie’s hands and then drilled into the net by an attacking player who was in an offside position when the ball was originally shot by his teammate, is it an offside offense?
Oh, now I get it why players move to the side as players go to make their goals.
Understood and thanks for the video. It'll cleared my doubt and now I can help my child play better in NYXS matches.
Do this same video but comparing/contrasting the different offsides rules in different sports, such as soccer, ice hockey, American football, etc.
Not sure about that one bro, but thanks for the suggestion.
Scott Jacoby NO HE DIES NOT DO OTHER SPORTS HE ONLY DOES SOCCER GTFO NO ONE CARES ABOUT THOSE SPORTS IN EUROPE WE ONLY CARE ABOUT SOCCER AND BASKETBALL FUCK OFF
Offside excuses poor defense imho
Can you explain the LBW rule in cricket please?
Sure, why not?
Having said that, Stephen Fry did a wonderful job on his video for Lords.
This is just the most history changing rule in football.
Confirmed, Ninh loves my Philadelphia Union
Nah, TFC for life baby!
Thanks that was helpful
I know the rule from Fifa because most people suck at explaining this rule and usually do it in a really confusing way which is why I was so suprised when I got it because the concept is super simple
It is. It just needs to be explained properly.
Thx a lot this helped I am going into 9 aside and offside but cuz lockdown we have to watch video as my dad( the coach) cant teach us
Very well explained
Glad it was helpful!
I'm literally the biggest fan in football/soccer and still watched the whole vid lol
Since this video was published, the rule changed again, now a rebound in a defender, even if they deliberately tried to play the ball, does not reset the offside positions.
Nicely explained
I like the explanation thanks
greatly explained. appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Another example of the defender making a deliberate play on the ball happened in the 2019 FIFA World Cup in a match between the US and Sweden. In the 50 minute mark Tobin Heath was in offside position however a Swede defender made a deliberate play on the ball which nullified the offsides rule and allowed the US to score their second goal and somehow it got credited as an own goal
I never saw that one.
I never heard of boring what does that do
I can't believe i'm saying this, but the offside rule in Hockey actually makes more sense. I didn't think it was possible for me to dislike soccer even more.
It does what it's supposed to do. You couldn't apply an ice hockey style offside rule in soccer (i.e. static lines) because of the dynamics of the game
@@NinhLyUK I don't understand why you couldn't? Seems like a fairly simply rule that doesn't change play that much except close to the goal. And even then, not by that much nor that often.
Sir a player in offside position but another player shot the ball to the goal post from onside position then Ball return from the post then the offside player can score the ball ? Is it offside or onside
I was a centre back and this rule is great for the game 'cause the whole field is large. Imagine strikers just waiting on the goal lol that's just street basketball sht right there. Defenders and Strikers would always just play longball and midfielders would just be sitting in the middle. Plus offside traps are great but very risky I usually call it when the other team's strikers don't know how to predict. If you're a striker you should always have a great chemistry with your team and always give them the best passing opportunities for you. Make good use of follow throughs and remember that offside is based on when the ball is struck not when it is received. Practice timing and stay close to the last defender. Just a nice follow through or cross to you will be an easy goal
Yes, precisely!
@2:45 are those player panelized for being in the way of the goalie?
You say allowing players to hang around the opposing goalkeeper would make for a boring game.
Have you ever watched a professional lacrosse game, which has no offside rule at all? A typical score is 13-11 - nothing at all boring about that.
Probably that is the reason why lacrosse is so much popular all over the world than soccer
Excellent video
Thanks man ♥️
Clear as mud stay safe cheers
Random question: Do you think you can explain Biathlon? It’s an awesome sport and I’d love to know more
Pretty sure it's self explanatory, but I'll consider it.
i still find the caveats of the offside and icing rules in hockey confusing, could you do a video about that?
I have doubt on, a player stands in offside position and his teammate pass the ball but the touches on opponent player body ( no intention) then the offside position player get the ball, is it offside or not?
The rule only says the attacker must be closer to goal line than the ball and the 2nd last player, there are situations where the attacker might be behind this imaginary line but not technically closer to the goal line than the 2nd last player. For e.g attacker is behind the imaginary line but on far right or far left of the field, 2nd last player is around the penalty spot, technically the 2nd player is closer to the goal line, does this count as offside?
The goal line is the line that runs from one corner to the other. Not just in between the goalposts. I think that's where the confusion comes from.
If the second-to-last opponent is by the penalty spot and the attacker is on the far right or far left side of the field, by the corner flag, then the attacker is closer to the goal line than the second-to-last opponent.
Does anybody else think that offsides shouldn't apply if the passing player was already within his opponent's 18 when he made the pass? If you've moved the ball that far already, it's completely trivial whether a player is a bit too close to the goal line. Besides, it's not like the offense could "camp" there if their team still needs to move the ball into the box in the first place.
Nah, I believe the rule is fine as it is.
It's the interpretation that causes mass confusion, which leads to some very questionable decisions.
That's the problem.
@@NinhLyUK Can the call be challenged by anyone else? like another referee? In American Football, anyone can challenge a call, even another ref, and in tennis, a player has a limted amount of times where he can "challenge" an umpire's call (example if it was out of bounds or not) Both sports even use replays
Just wondering. On fifa when I pass it out on a corner kick, sometimes there is a player on the post and my player is between him and the goalie when the ball is played and is still called offside. Is that the rule, or is that just EA being EA?
Without seeing it for myself, it's a tough one to call.
If the keeper is ahead of your player, he’s probably the 2nd to last defender, and your player would be behind the offside line that the keeper is creating
David Seaman yes that’s offside, to be onside you need to be in front of or in-line with the 2nd last opponent, in that scenario the 2nd last opponent is the goalkeeper and your player is ahead of the goalkeeper meaning their in a offside position, the misconception comes from the fact people never count the goalkeeper, it’s two opponents any two opponents then your onside.
If there is no offside rule, everyone just wait for the ball inside the penalty area.😂
You should do "When a tackle is completed" because it's different in Rugby League, rugby union & NFL.
Mmmm, not sure. I think people who understand each sport would know what that is.
The NASL 35 yard line. Dropped 3rd strike. Fair catch kick. What is goaltender interference in the NHL.
Not a bad idea!
Is there video review for offsides in Euro leagues? I could see that being a bigger pain in the ass than NHL offside reviews. Its gets ridiculous with "is his skate touching the blue line" when it's less than a millimeter.
There is! It's called VAR and it's caused the exact problem you described.
Where perfectly reasonable onside calls are being called back for offside because of millimeter decisions.
It's been painful to say the least.
@@NinhLyUK Still I believe it's preferable if you consider the alternative: clear offside goals counting because there is no VAR
Good video.Just correct the error you made at the "Remember it's only an offside if you are ahead of the line from your own teammate" Instead of "....if you are ahead of the line from the second last opponent"
American here, just getting into football.
I've seen some moments where a player kicks the ball into the goal despite being aware that they're offside and the goal won't count. Why do they do this?
Thanks for the video...If your goal keeper throws the ball to you when you are the only one is on the opponent side, is it consider off side?
If it comes from a goal kick, there ar no offside. But if the ball ins running and the goalkeeper kicks is offside
@@Veigueta I meant, when the goal keeper throws the ball to you (NOT KICKED), all the way to the other half of the field and you are the only one there...thanks.
Loose the dreadful backround music and you'll have one of the best offside videos here. I like the use of flowcharts to demonstrate the decisions used to call offside or not.
This isnan excellent video thanks Ninh
Is the 3rd goal of Messi in the world cup final offside since he was offside when Gonzalo Montiel (#4) passed the ball?
What if you're offside when your teammate passes the ball to another teammate. But, you go back onside and after becoming back onside, you receive a pass from the last teammate that had the ball? Would you be offside still because the ball hasn't been passed to another teammate after you were caught offside?
You'd be onside. Offside only applies if you are in the offside position AND be involved with the play. Since that pass happened and you weren't involved in it, they wouldn't call it. By the time the ball reaches you, you are already onside once your teammate makes the pass.
@@vDeadbolt Thanks! That's what my RRA told me as well.
I would not want to have to try to referee this rule, seems like it would be easy to misjudge because the line is constantly in motion. At least in hockey the line is static.
That's why they have two linesmen. It's their main job to determine offside or not.
NOW I CAN USE THIS VIDEO TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WTF AN OFFSIDE IS
Btw I used to think the offside line is drawn from the last defender (not counting the keeper)
Yes, thanks.
Although in English parlance, we say 'last defender' as we don't count the keeper as a defender.
Technically you're still correct, but the official designation by FIFA is 'second to last opponent'.
Well done, now sent this over to the premier league officials and then on to the VAR officials. They haven't a clue this year what they're doing. Remember, they ruled a goal offsides saying the corner kick taker was offsides. You can't make this up.
Wait what
When was this?
Thanks. Yes, VAR has done some incredibly boneheaded things this season.
Bhai ak swal mera b h please guide ... Jb mera playr ko boll pass huwa me off side me khra huwa tha lekin mery playr ny boll running me le k gya or muj se agy nikl gya or us ny mjy boll dia meny gol kr dia ab ye off side consider hoge ye gol ...

Thank you so much... Do video on KHO KHO Indian origin game.
I'll consider it.
Make video on TRACK n FIELD events..all events..please..
2:27 if the player was not in offside when his teammate took the shot but was ahead of all the defenders when the ball rebounded, will it be offside plz explain?
Only if he interferes with play.
How has the Corona Virus affected you, Ninh? You still holding out?
Yeah, I'm still here and I'm still creating.
If a player in offside but the ball rebounding(hit with goalkeeper)with by the goal keeper and then the player gain the ball the score the goal...is this offside?
Yes that is off side because he was in an offside position when the ball was shot and therefore the lines man would put his flag up
Hockey's offside rule is so much simpler but thank you for the explanation. I was very confused about this during the world cup
Yes because in hockey it's actually a painted line
Sir, why did you delete the Craps tutorial? Thank God I downloaded it before that happened 😊
I didn't. UA-cam removed it for 'breaking guidelines' - although I have no idea what rule I supposedly broke?!
Ninh Ly yeah sir you know UA-cam is a mysterious place & sometimes drunk
Ninh Ly well sir you can upload Poker rules, UA-cam won’t have any problems with that, there are lot of poker Titorials out there, but I am sure yours will be The simplest & easiest to understand 😊😁👍
Worst rule in sports. Get rid of it and let people enjoy the game and see goals being made.
nah
4:30 isn't this a deflection? Goal disallowed?
Actually you can be offside on your own half IF
1. All the opponents are in your half
2. When the pass is made you were in the opponents half
3. U touch the ball on your side of the field
That would be offside on your own half
But technically the play started in the opponents half, so that would activate the offside rule.
But you CANNOT be offside if the ball is played within your own half. That's what this video refers to.
Ninh Ly yes u can if the ball is played within ur own half and the receiving player comes from offside position from opponents half in ur own half and touches/try to play the ball he is technically offside in his own half and the play wilm continue with indirect free kick from the spot where he touches the ball or tried to play it and it will be in his own half
@@pinomaki1050 Nope.
Ninh Ly idk abaut us rules but our rules are that way
