The History Of Soccer The game has evolved from the sport of kicking a rudimentary animal-hide ball around into the World Cup sport it is today. As the sport developed, more rules were implemented and more historical landmarks were set. For example, the penalty kick was introduced in 1891.
It plays a role in international development by funding global education, effecting positive social change and producing renewable energy. Soccer is unique in that it crosses all geographic, ethnic and religious boundaries.

Under the current law, players are deemed offside if any part of their body they can play the ball with is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent (eg, the last defender)….
You can NEVER be offside in your own half of the field. Offside Rule: A player is in an offside position if he is on his attacking half of the field and if he is nearer to his opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent, or the last two opponents (typically the goalie and the last defender).
A player is NOT in an offside position if: He is in his own half of the field of play. No part of the attacking player (head, body, or feet) is closer to the opponents goal than the final defender (not including the goalkeeper) ….
You cannot be offside if you are in your own half when the ball is played – even if you have reached the opposition half by the time you receive it – so there is no offence there, either….
There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from: a goal kick. a throw-in. a corner kick.
If the opponent does a back pass and you are in an offside position, it will not be deemed as an offside as it was not your own teammate that pushed the ball forward. Offsides cannot be called when the ball is received directly from a corner, goal-kick and throw-in.
In simple terms, the rule (or “law” as FIFA calls it) explains that a player is considered offside if he or she receives the ball while being “beyond” the second last opponent (usually a defender). It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.
The player in the offside position must actually touch the ball by having it passed to him before he is declared to be in violation of the rule, he is also in violation if he prevents another player from the opposing team from touching the ball. This is classed as “Interfering”.

When the offside offence occurs, the referee stops play, and awards an indirect free kick to the defending team from the place where the offending player became involved in active play. The offside offence is neither a foul nor misconduct as it does not belong to Law 12.

penalty box
A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if the ball left the penalty area.
If a player touches the ball before it touches the ground, the drop-ball is retaken. A goal may not be scored from a dropped ball until it has been touched by two different players. If the ball enters either goal without having been touched by two players, the result is a goal-kick or corner-kick.
The ball must be kicked (a goalkeeper may not pick up the ball). An own goal cannot be scored from a goal kick; in the highly unlikely circumstance that the ball enters the kicker’s own goal before being touched by another player, a corner kick is awarded.

A throw-in is awarded to the opponents of the player who last touched the ball when the whole of the ball passes over the touchline, on the ground or in the air. A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in: if the ball enters the opponents’ goal – a goal kick is awarded.
A throw-in can be called illegal if a player lifts a foot while throwing or does not throw from behind the head and complete the motion of a throw-in. There are two main ways a player can perform a throw-in.
