What's your opinion?

Many football experts think passive offside should be abolished because it's to complicated and is connected with to much work for the referees.

I find it SHOULDN'T be abolished because it's sensible to differentiate aktive and passive offside.

i like football...but i must admit...i don't know what you're talking about.

can you explain what passive offsides is. because i know what offsides is, but i don't know what the difference is.

i've voted to yes (edit: damn it should be no )
if sb's passive why should he break all action?
nonsense

maybe somebody else can explain it to you cos my english is to bad to explain such (complicated) rule, or you look for it in google or somewhere else.

passive offside: when some player is on offside but he don't participate in action... e.x. van Nisterlooij in the game with Czechs

i just realized that we're talking about european football hehehe...i get it now...its all coming to me...

so he is offsides but is not the one passing or receiving?

yep we are talking about soccer

it shouldn't be abolished, it's fine as it is. if you're not interfering with the play why should it be disallowed? it would punish the attacking side most of the times.

Yes, we're talking about world football.

Offside is when a player is not allowed to continue his move because he's received the ball in a position beyond all defenders (so it's just him, the goal and, most times, the goal-keeper as well). In order to avoid players to stay in this position (which could make the game a bit boring).

I think the rule is alright the way it is.
