Almost? Yes, as in it's a rarity to see a pass backwards for player who is offside. Simply because of the way the game flows. But when it happens it is correct. No, that's a theoretical impossibility.. Edit: well, no it's not I guess, but only when the player was offside and has to run backwards to pick up the backward pass. Not sure where the law stands on that exactly, but I don't think I've ever seen it happen either.. Is that what you are referring to? That's what I was talking about when I said almost always, in that it's not impossible but very unlikely for the ball to go backwards and yet still be offside. Ta! -

Almost? Yes. I don't get it. The goalscorer doesn't have to be behing the ball when the pass is played to him (in the classic case when there is a defender playing him onside), but there can never be offside if the player receiving the pass is behind the player passing the ball regardless of where defenders are (i.e. the third Portugal goal). The pass can be forward or backward, as long as the player receiving the pass starts out behind the passing player when the ball is played. Simple as that no? -

We know all that man, but equally, an attacker could shoulder charge a defender off the pitch and (assuming he's not penalised) ensure that there is no chance of being offside. If there is no foul given what would be wrong with that? Well, the goal last night, for one. The defender didn't leave the pitch under his own volition, he was pushed off the pitch and his team was penalised for it. In your example, if the defender was shoulder charged and through that an attacker would be onside if a pass was made what would be wrong with that, assuming the shoulder charge wasn't a foul? The same would happen if the incident happened and the defender stayed on the pitch, putting the attacker onside..? In yesterday eveningĀ“s event, it was an Italian player pushing an Italian player out of play. In any case, the rule is pretty clear if you ask me and there seems to be no debate between the people who know the rules.. -

Four games in only Portugal and Germany look any more than average so far.. Not impressed by what I've seen. -

Ballack should have scored. Another quality bit of play by Lahm, who is the best player on the pitch iyam. Strange that he was so good at left back at the WC, and plays RB now, but he seems equally adept at both... -

Not offside that. Should have been 1-1.. -

Put Lehman under pressure when the ball is played back to him.. He's more than capable of fumbling it into his own goal.. -
