1. offside

   Offside is a rule or principle used in several team sports, such as football (soccer), hockey, and rugby, stating that a player cannot be positioned closer to the opponent's goal line (or particular point of the field) than the ball or puck, unless there are at least two defending players (typically including the last defending player, usually a goalkeeper) between them, when the ball or puck is played to them. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage. Violations of the offside rule lead to stoppage of play and a penalty for the offending team. The specifics of the rule may vary depending on the sport.

1. Offside

   Offside is a law in association football which states that if a player is in an offside position when the ball is touched or played by a team-mate, he may not become actively involved in the play. A player is in an offside position if he is closer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-to-last defender, but only if the player is in his opponent's half of the pitch. "Offside position" is a matter of fact, whereas committing an "offside offence" occurs when a player is "actively involved" and is subject to the interpretation of the referee. Goals scored after committing an offside offence are nullified if caught by the referee.

Examples of offside in a Sentence

1. Monique Lamoureux-Morando:

   It was offside, and she hit her right after the whistle or during the whistle, depending on who you talk to, i was on the ice and mayhem ensued.

2. Warren Gatland:

   Players are getting bigger and more physical every year so there's not that much space on the rugby field, you create space by getting quick ball( and) refereeing the offside line strongly.

3. Sergio Busquets:

   The referee said that Eric García played the ball and, from that moment, that annulled the offside, but that doesn't make sense -- Eric García tries to cut the ball off because Eric García thinks Mbappé is going to get there because he thinks he's in a legal position. They don't explain that to us.

4. Monique Lamoureux-Morando:

   We lost the game. I think it was 3-1 and there were seconds left, when I remember (Canada captain) Hayley Wickenheiser nailed Natalie Darwitz, it was offside, and she hit her right after the whistle or during the whistle, depending on who you talk to.
