[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer purists would object, but the game probably would become more popular, in the USA especially, IF they relaxed the offsides rule and enabled more offense to happen.[/quote]

Basically you're saying dumb the game down for an American audience that can't understand the game outside of goals being scored.[/quote]

It wouldn't take much to do better. What's crazy is an arm or a foot being offside is offsides to disallow a goal. With ALL the tech, they'd do a lot better to give a wider definition rather than what they enforce now. Make it the feet, not body part and that would be a vast improvement.[/quote]

An arm being "offside" is not an offense.  Neither is a "finger" as another poster mentioned, so, if you have seen this called, that is pretty crazy. Google Law 11 and read up.[/quote]

I guess you've never seen VAR.[/quote]

Can you post a YouTube clip of VAR calling offside for an arm?

Here you go if you were wondering...

A player is in an offside position if:
any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit.[/quote]

Ummm ... https://www.reddit.com/r/football/comments/z1qi8q/thoughts_on_the_new_offside_technology/[/quote]
