The most controversial aspect of the game of football. A player is in an offside position when he or she has crossed an imaginary line running parallel to the by-line determined by the position of the last defender (excluding the goalkeeper) or the ball. This does not cause the game to be stopped unless a player in an offside position attempts to play the ball or intervene in play in general. If the ball is passed to a player in an offside position, play is halted and the opposing team is awarded a free kick. However, for this to occur, a player must be in an offside position at the moment the ball is played, after which he or she is considered on side and can receive the ball in any position.
