>off-side was invented as a rule to stop players from just hanging out next to the goalie waiting for a long pass>now off-side is if the finger or hairstrand of the attacking team was 1mm off-sideWhat an absolute garbage of a sport soccer became.Holy shit.
It really is a never ending battle to stop this semen slurping sport from backsliding into sudacaball
>>156702943isn't it a classic corrupt move to follow the word of the law instead of the spirit of the law
the only part of the body that should be looked at is the feetif you're leaning offside, who gives a shit, play the fucking game faggots
>>156702943We should be addressing that fucking tiki taka bullshit instead of counting hairs offside
>>156702943I usually hate everything this guy does, but for some reason I can't hate him lmao
>>156703181Agree, its bullshit having your elbow only counts as offside when youre not even allowed to fucking use it
>>156702943whos is that based individual?
If they added a range of leniency then the controversy would be the exact same, just about what the hard limit of that range is. Retards.
>>156705673Wenger Rule solves the problem.
>>156705270Tiki taka is fine but the flopping or dive pretends to hurt to everything even on lightest micro pressure touch is cringe me the fuck off about this sport.You people can pass me to death that's a beautiful game but one touch you down like building 7 on 9/11because I pressure the ball and get carded for that? ? ? >>156705540He got some kino antique there lmao
>>156703154Following the "spirit" of the rule will just lead to even more whining and rigged accusations.
>>156705853You're right. Fouls are also too cheaply given. The issue with tiki taka is that it's a bad faith tactic.
>>156705673no it wouldn't, range of lienenicey is 3 inches, done, everyone fucks off
>>156705797Wenger rule is going to encourage parking the bus and even more shitty tiki taka football.>at any point the striker I'm guarding can just choose to sprint ahead of me and pick up a ball that I have no chance of defending>I had better play way further back to give myself a buffer zone>the back line are so far back, nothing to do but hold posession and wait for them to make a mistake>FT: 0--0The millimeter VAR rules are the entire reason the last few World Cups have actually had meaningful scorelines.
>>156705583Deyverson
>>156705583>whos is that based individual?Palmeiras' legend DeyversonThe annihilator of FlaMERDA.
>>156702943the real problem is that players don't train to avoid offside
>>156702943The shot of him helping the stewards sweep the water got me
>>156705906Now players on average push the limits 3 inches further, just as many hairsbreadth offside calls, just as much bitching.
SEMENLURP
>>156705982If they're three inches past the official offsides line, that should be enough to prevent bitching. >well by the letter of the law they should have been called offsides 3 inches ago
>>156702943Why didn't the imbecile of Ancelotti bring deyverson for the 2026 WC?
When MLB implemented ABS everyone hated it because the strike zone as it was defined in the rules was different than how umpires had actually called it for years, so they changed the strike zone definition. Why not do that and define offsides as how it had actually had been called?
>>156705897These dives and flopping even adopted by these New Gens of football it even reach these Alphas Betas kids even at kick ball school level games like it was mandatory part of the game about this sport, Jesus man...I can't take this sport I used to love seriously nowadays.
>>156705897It's so cartoonish, it's like almost every 2--4 minutes of every games were halt because players in the pitch wants free freekick , basically just wasting your times watching dudes flopping...
>>156702943Based dive GOD
>>156703154It's the other way around
>>156702943>now off-side is if the finger or hairstrand of the attacking team was 1mm off-sideNo. Fingers still do not count since you cannot score with them.But on your general point, you are correct. This bullshit is going too far.
>>156702943to be onside before 1990 you had to behind the defender, not just level like you do now.
>>156705797No it doesn't.
Nothing more embarrassing than watching 4 big tall centerback guys all raise their hands and look at the ref crying like a kid looks at their mommy when their toy gets taken
>>156702943Offside has been a rule for 150 years so nobody has actually seen living humans play a professional soccer match without it. It's all just speculation.
