What's this?

Would make for an interesting tactical decision. Do I leave guys back for

Defense, or do I attack and outman them in the offensive end.
I'm not a soccer fan, but I'd probably watch more if they did that and infuse more "fast breaks".

You can be in an offside position without being called offside -- Hokie Fiji 02/02/2021 4:45PM

Thanks. That helps. Do defenders ever “slow down” or reposition themselves -- Femoyer Hokie 02/02/2021 4:57PM

Yes, that's called an offsides trap -- Nova Hokie 95 02/02/2021 5:09PM

Wow. I have a lot to learn. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 02/02/2021 5:15PM

Probably defenders do, but typically the offensive player's already -- PhotoHokieNC 02/02/2021 5:03PM

No. It means you can't leave someone under your own basket to cherry-pick -- Nova Hokie 95 02/02/2021 4:32PM
