New FIFA Offside Rule Proposed

[Regs]

Apparently going to test in a couple of games in a couple of countries.

Basically to be offside, the attackers whole body must be past the defenders... think hockey blue line and dragging the toe to stay on and you get the gist of it.

Like it?

I’ve actually been saying this for years. Most defenders I spoke to weren’t fans. Lol. drag a toe to stay onside, whatever. We want offence/goals as a sport. Not 0-0 games.

That sounds interesting.
However , I don't think it will change very much & CERTAINLY WON'T eliminate any controversy.
We will still be talking about the same margins.
Currently , a player can be Offside by a knee cap or half a boot length. Now a player will be Onside by a knee cap or half a boot length.
As an official , I'm OK with it either way. We are still going to call it how we see it & we'll still get yelled at by someone who disagrees. The only thing this will change is the amount of scoring chances.
Perhaps that's a good thing for the game in general but there's still going to be lots of controversy.

My opinion: better for the pro game that have VAR... status quo for everyone else.

i thought that's what the rule was, or used to be many moons ago... any part even with any part = good goal...
