A law designed to stop goal-hanging will be subject to a global consultation that was approved Saturday by the International Football Association Board with the intention of giving an edge to attackers.
The introduction of video assistant referees has seen the benefit of the doubt being taken away from the attacking players. "It is not going to change the accuracy, it is saying, philosophically, how do we want offside? Is it appropriate for us to say, can we change the law to restore more benefit to attacking football?"
About time! Next replace penalty shootouts with 7 vs 7 - play ALL aspects of the game!
Overdue. The var situation proves it. Attacking players should be able to straddle the offside line, as long as one foot is on the inside it should be good.
Why is offsides even a thing?
