@Hawksbythesea @ShamanicFallout @LordBenne @mookiealexander That's literally what the rule is called.

@ReynardRoux @ShamanicFallout @LordBenne @mookiealexander It’s 100% true but I don’t answer to you. Argument by semantics is a bitch made way to go through life. ✌️🇺🇸

It's so funny how American fans respond to the soccer offside rule, as if our biggest sport doesn't have an entire army of 8K cameras to determine by how many half-inches the ball is a first down or not.

@Don_K_Williams People who say "offsides" don't get an opinion on offside.

For my soccer ⚽️ novice friends. It’s OFFSIDE (singular) as in “The player is off of their side and into the other teams side. You cannot be off sides (plural) because you can’t be in 2 sides at the same time. You’re either on their side or your side. So it’s offside. Hope that helps

They should replace VAR with an offsides committee who has 3 seconds to decide if the player was spiritually offsides or not. Only gut feelings allowed.

@MsMelChen We also have supermarkets. If you've only been to central London you likely haven't seen one because they tend to be on the outskirts of cities.

Been living in London for 3 years and every time I come back to the US, I have to recalibrate. When you're overseas, you tend to forget what real abundance feels like, so much so, I just stood there in the granola aisle, mouth open, brain completely short-circuited as I stared at a ridiculous wall of infinite choice. Bajillions of brands, flavors, and innovations - chocolate peanut butter banana crunch, maple pecan espresso, keto, paleo, collagen-packed, probiotic, gluten-free, protein-loaded, you name it. I was straight-up paralyzed by options. The French call it “embarras de choix” - embarrassment of choice. That overwhelming feeling when there are simply too many great things to pick from. It’s usually used positively or neutrally (the options are desirable), but the “embarrassment” highlights the mild frustration, guilt and indecision it causes. But Americans don’t get embarrassed by it. At all. Because they don't feel guilt about having MORE. It is the Land of Plenty for a reason. It’s easy to start a food company here, it's easy to build brands, and it's easy to just employ / fire people. That freedom unleashes relentless innovation and variety, feeding an unstoppable demand for better, tastier, healthier, crazier options. No wonder Europeans lose their minds the first time they step into a Costco. American abundance is a policy and cultural choice.

@nazzobetweeting New York and Miami are both in the same country. Simple.

british people will fly 2 hours to ibiza or mallorca and call that “travel” because it’s a “different country with a different language”as if a new yorker flying 2 hours to miami doesn’t put them in the exact same situation, just with even MORE spanish speakers

@jayanthkumarak Football also has domestic competitions.

Yes. And we play 4 super bowls for your 1 World Cup.

@SaorAlbannach Nah, we wanted to vote you out in your referendum. We weren't allowed to.

English culture is acutely narcissistic when it comes to Scottish statehood. They believe that they own us, and have an inherent sense of superiority. This is why we dislike 'them' and why other cultures find them off-putting. They have limited self-awareness regarding this.

@Underwood_szn It's called stoppage time or injury time. Extra time is an additional half an hour used in knockout games.

I just wanna know why the clock does not stop in soccer like EVERY other sport. Instead of adding a subjective amount of "extra time" at the end, why not just stop the clock when needed

@snowman_sports You don't get an opinion

The reason soccer fans are crashing out over offsides rule change suggestions is cause they know offsides is a shitty rule

@AlliAlliG @MichaelWreath Yes, but you have to be behind the second last defender when the ball is played. You can run with the ball anywhere you want.

@MichaelWreath So you can’t get a breakaway? At all? But then you can be offside and still score a goal!!!??

How does offside in soccer work 🫤

@luketurvey4 @pennebaker That's exactly what "offsides" sounds like.

@ReynardRoux @pennebaker I love house runs

Hey soccer fans, it’s okay to admit the sport isn’t perfect. Offsides needs 3 rule changes: - No offsides on free kicks - No offsides if any part of the defender is in-line with the offensive player - change “two defenders” to “one non-goalkeeper” #WorldCup

@blankslate2017 For instance: Why does batball have strikes? It would be much better if you changed your sport so that the battie can have unlimited swings. Then every time he hits it award a house run! More scores!! This is an equally idiotic take to removing offside from football.

A lot of Europeans attempting to defend the offsides rule in soccer make analogies to US sports that make no sense b/c they don't understand US sports. They also don't get how the offsides rules, as rigidly applied as we've seen, adds no value to the sport.

@blankslate2017 No, we're demonstrating how stupid your takes are. If you call it offsides you don't get an opinion.

@GoDucksnet If it worked teams would do it.

Not soccer guy here Why on earth do teams not mark everyone that’s within 20 yds of the goal at all times? Particularly on a corner when you have almost your entire team zoning in the box on D? Just saw unattended Croatian guy head in a goal w/ 5 yellow shirts in zone nearby

Americans every four years: offsides shouldn’t be a rule

@mbeisen No

I wonder if it would make things better if soccer implemented a challenge system like most major sports in the US use where each team gets 2 challenges and calls only go to VAR when challenged. Or you could have unsuccessful challenges cost a team a sub.

@isaacappelt No opinion.

the real solution to the offside rule debate is to draw lines on the field like hockey to determine thirds of the field: if the ball is in the last third, there’s no offsides. i concede that having guys standing near the goal for 90 minutes would be a problem, but if an attacking team has the ball in the last third, the defensive team should not get to decide where the other team’s players can stand. like what are we doing here?

Being offsides by a toe is nasty work

@rhymeswobunga "Offsides" If you're gonna lie at least get the terminology right.

As someone who played center back, offsides is the dumbest fucking rule in all of sports
