Offsides: The Most Confusing Rule for Parents

In Soccer Rules, Soccer Videos on September 8, 2007 at 8:12 pm

My dad did not play soccer when he was a kid. According to him, when he was 10 year old kid, (in 1968) there were no soccer teams or leagues in his hometown and he had never met anyone who had ever played the game. Poor guy.

Anyway, he now understands most soccer rules – but he still doesn’t understand offsides. And from what he says, most “ancient parents” like him don’t have a clue either. So, parents out there, this video is for you.
