Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group

Soccer experts question - Based on some whistles in the WC it appears that a player can be offsides even if they do not receive the ball until after the ball has hit the goalkeeper or the goalpost. Is that correct? And why is that the rule?

Put aside the debate on offsides, if another player takes a shot on goal and it happens to go to an offside player only on the rebound, it doesn't seem particularly consistent with the purpose of the rule to keep applying it to them.
