Stuck on Repeats

I know the rule. I'm saying that there should be no offsides if the passer and the receiver are both in the last third of the opponent's side of the field when the pass is made.

Does that work?

Do you have any naked photos of Allyson Felix?

Yes. FWIW, here are FIFA's rules:

Offside position

It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.

A player is in an offside position if:

he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent

A player is not in an offside position if:

he is in his own half of the field of play or
he is level with the second-last opponent or
he is level with the last two opponents

Offence

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

interfering with play or
interfering with an opponent or
gaining an advantage by being in that position

No offence

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

a goal kick
a throw-in
a corner kick

I'm offended. It's like he's saying "Sidd, go find your own soft-core porn."

But I think they are all fake.

I am probably the one person even less qualified to weigh in on beer names -- I don't like the taste of beer.

But my guess was that they were all real beer names.

I did not say I was unqualified to weigh in on beer names. I'm highly qualified, unless there is "hops" in the name.

But it seems you are right and I was wrong.

Why don't you just paint a blue line there, and let the players hit each other?

I don't think the offsides rule is going to matter much if this happens.

Actually, that's worse.

As she walked away one parents said to another, "offsides is offsides."

It is a pretty complex rule, and most casual observers don't understand it.

This is a perfect image of all that is wrong with youth soccer.

And I'm not counting that a U-8 game has a ref.

Are there any sports where pushy, stupid, ridiculous parents are not a problem?
