The offside rule is possibly the most important rule in soccer. A player is in the offside position when – in the exact moment that a teammate passes him the ball – he is closer to the area than the penultimate player of the opposing team. The rule is only valid if the play takes place in the opposing team’s half of the field. Breaking this rule is sanctioned with an indirect free kick.
